Jennifer-116

:help: First of all, I am SO glad I found this site, so nice to know that other people are doing the same thing. Here is my problem...I had the surgery in Jan of 2005 and that year lost 70 pounds (started at 340, down to 260), then in 2006 had 3 deaths of close family members in the first 2 months, including of them dying in my home on Christmas morning-end of 2005). I was executor, meeting with lawyers all year, the day we buried one her house flooded so I was dealing with contractors all year...not to mention the greedy family members who were coming out of the woodwork. So, needless to say, I definitely put myself on the back burner. So, now that that horrible year is over I find that I "relearned" a lot of my old "comforting" tricks I did my whole life, so I am finding it hard, once again, to get back on track. Last year I didn't gain anything, but I didn't lose anything either. I know that has to be a success since without the band I know I probably would have gained 100 with all the stress, however the big picture is that I am now 2 years out of surgery having only lost 70 pounds. I am trying not to beat myself up, but it is so hard. And for some reason I cannot seem to get as motivated as I was before. Any suggestions?
