    @Gail: I don't belong to a lot of online groups, because I hold two jobs and have real life commitments as well. I moderate a statewide political forum called As Maine Goes. That's about it for groups. I also have my new Christian blog I'm trying to keep current.

    You're on my prayer list now. Keep me posted.

    @Gail: I tried to post a response to your message, but it was more than 4,000 characters, and it wanted me to cut it down to 1,000. So, I posted it as a blog entry here.

    I am in a strange place--I have a doctorate in ministry and have had a professional clinical counseling practice for the past 15 years. The past 4 and half months i have been in a complete standstill. I ended a primary contract and other doors have not opened. In the past this usually puts me on alert God is moving--I am waiting for God to lead..or speak so far He seems silent!! I am jumping between patience and begging God for direction. I appreciate your prayers and insight --I feel weary in the battle of life...

    Gail, it is a life story indeed, but through it all, I am convinced of one thing: God does not waste pain!

    As long as we do not choose to shut the door on it, our past can help people's present for the glory of God and Jesus Christ.

    Because of my past, I am able to work a ministry which speaks to those who are hopeless and who think that there is no way out.

I have been stalled between 203 and 206 since I finished my 5-day pouch reset on January 25. I know I shouldn't be discouraged, but it is getting difficult not to.

I understand plateaus, but if it's calories in -> calories out, the scale should be moving!

And going from sedentary lifestyle to exercising three times a day for 30 minutes a day should be doing something to my metabolism!

Have I messed my body up that badly in the past few years? Did...

Having been "in the fish motel" for dragging my feet at the change of seasons, I feel for you. You are in my prayers.

God called me to do a jail ministry some years back, and given my background, I simply did not want to do it. I was afraid to hear that clanging of steel doors, to smell the smells of jail, and to hear the constant rabble that go along with jails.

My husband and I had a teen and pre-teen ministry, and I carried the message into battered women's...

It's been more than a week since my last blog posting. I've been REALLY busy, but largely on healthy things.

Last Friday, I went back to my WLS support group for the first time in about three -- maybe four -- years.

When I made the commitment to get back to basics, I told my husband that I would be returning to the group every month. He knew that one of the excuses I had for dropping out before is the fact that it's 80 miles away in Bangor.

So when...

If I had to put my finger on just when I "fell off the wagon," I guess I would say it was in August, 2007. That was about 8 months after my surgery, which in itself would have been a turning point. But there was more.

My grown daughter was about to go through what promised to be a nasty divorce, and child custody battle. She was in the Army, stationed at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina. My son-in-law, who had been injured and discharged, had taken the kids to his mother's house...

You know, I'm entirely baffled by this item, and I wonder if I'm the only one!

I recently put my "Before and During" pictures up on Facebook. Someone had asked me about it, and I am a big proponent of remembering EXACTLY where I was and why I took the steps I did, so I posted it.



The next day, I went in to have my nails done, and my manicurist told me, "You know, I really don't remember...
