Sunday Cheers!! It's been a while since I have done this, but am going to share some Quotes from Bear Bryant, who was 'THE Coach' in Bama Land for a longgggggggg time......Bear was considered a Winner by those who knew him: "When you make a mistake, admit it; learn from it and don't repeat it." "You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load." "The first time you quit, it's hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don't even have to think about it." "Show class, have pride and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself." "There's no substitute for guts." "Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit." “It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog” “In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to It.” "Tough times don't last, but tough people do." "Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder." "Be aware of "yes" men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget - people win." "In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway." During these days of Tough Times, let's hope we prevail as being Tough & Strong, with the Will to Win & with Common Sense. Our World is in Economic Crisis. It would be my prayer that everyone pulls his load; never lived through the Great Depression, and don't want to start now. We need to WIN!! Happy Sunday and Prayers for a Good Week ahead.

I am a 48 year old female who is 5'5" and 294 lbs. I have had my first meeting with a surgeon a few weeks ago. I cannot do alot of things anymore where once they were easy to do including walking. Hope to better my life.
I was average all my life till I met my ex-husband and he taught me to try all kinds of new food which I liked. I am now almost 300 pounds and think I may join a gym in the spring. I am constantly on diets. I have made the initial steps to have gastric bypass surgery hopefully sometime before spring.
I was originally diagnosed severe depression with physcotic features but they changed it now to bipolar with schizoid affective disorder.
I think I am starting menopause but not sure. I am 48 years old and my sister went thru it in her early 40's I wish I knew for sure
