A difficult first step for me....

[Otto's Doll]

Glad you are here, Kelsie... I am another one who has been there, done that. I am on Atkins, but am struggling with the same 5 pounds (and a whole lot of their friends!) for the last month or so... we are all here for you.

Kelsie, I am glad that you are back. You are not a failure, you took a different turn and you are now back on the right path. We have all made choices that weren't the best for us, but at least you have come back to the right place. I was at goal and now am up about 10 pounds. I am starting on Monday with counting my points and I have a friend that is going to email me a beginning running schedule. I am re-committing come Monday. I would say tomorrow, but we are actually on our way back home from WDW.

Keep in touch and don't forget that you have us all here for support.

Kelsie!!! Its so nice to see you again, we have missed you very much.

There is no such word as f****** here. I proudly refer to myself as a restarter. (I know, that is not a word either, but I kinda like it )

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} and welcome home!

Hi Kelsie! You've gotten lots of good advice in these posts which I just want to echo and tell you WELCOME BACK! Induction will be over before you know it and you'll be so excited to see some of those pounds gone! Before you know it you'll be right back on track! Best Wishes and again Welcome Back!

Group hug!! You haven't done that 'f' thing, you silly! You had a major change in your life, and it took some time to adjust to it, is all. Now you're on track, so good on you!

You lost a bundle of weight before, and now you're making the committment again! You're my new hero! Go Kelsie!

More difficult than resisting tempting treats is being honest with yourself and others about our slips. When we are not successful at anything we try not to share that info. On these boards, if we don't share those trips and falls , who would we identify with. It's the pick your self up, dust your self off and put one foot in front of the other that keeps up all on our feet. I thank you and all the WISHers for their constant support and encouragement. We will all make it, just at different paces and places. You will put one foot in front of the other and soon be running towards your goal!! Keep your chin up and you'll feel better immediately. (hot baths work wonders too!) Cheers and you go girl!!!

K-

Can't say it any better than all those before me - but, my friend, I am endeared to you forever for giving us all a place to come and encourage one another! (((((hugs)))) from AEG - sure have missed ya!!!!

Since you are back (Kelsie's back- hooray, hooray
we're expecting some of those fantastic posts that keep us all smiling - those newbies just don't know what they are in for (you will have time won't ya - and the boss won't get mad )

And, since you have been lurking - you probably know about the committer's thread - come on over and join us - tell us just how much you are walking - and how soon you are having diet coke instead of regular - -door's open - come on over and visit us

You are all so awesome!

You have no idea how much your encouraging words have helped get me through the past 2 days. No headache yet which is something that usually happens.

I am going to make it, although those closest to me will tell you my 'carb withdrawal' is killing them

Thank you so much

HEY KELSIE!!!! Welcome back! I too had disappeared for a while, and I can understand the difficult step.... but you made it and you are here ready to recommit to yourself and your health! I am so proud of you! I echo that you did not fail. It was just a bump in the road, and now you are on your way down the highway to health! There is so much support, and love here for you. You have a special place in our hearts, I hope you know that!

Hi Kelsie,
Welcome back! I joined WISH back when it started last winter and I was down 50 lbs. I've been away a long time and have managed to regain 10 lbs. I think most of us have had to start over again (sometimes more than once ) The good news is that we CAN do this together. I would never have lost all my weight without this forum and we can all thank YOU for that! We're all here for you!

Yaaaaaaay!!! Kelsie's back!!! I'm so glad to see you here again!!!

You are not a failure! Early retirement and shifting to working at home are major life changes and sometime we just have to stop for a while and deal with the changes. I think re-starting is a wonderful indicator of success!! After all, we have all tried and "failed" before. Only those who have the courage to re-start the process will finish the journey!! And that is you, Kelsie!!

WELCOME BACK!!!
