Rich Fatty Foods are Like Destiny; They too, Shape Our Ends

And what a shape my end is in. If it weren't for the poilnts of my shoes you wouldn't know what direction my end was heading. It is unfortunatly true that our unhealthy eating habits do effect our destiny. However; it is never too late to change our compulsion to over eat and thereby change our destiny. After two months of taking my lapband seriously and allowing it to work properly I already feel a change in my destiny. I do not feel entrapped in a cell of cellulite. Oh, I still have ple

How are We Going to Live Today in Order to Create the Tomarrow We're Committed To ?

Well, first of all, the Vision MUST be followed by the Venture. The venture is a road. A rather rough road at that. We are behind the wheel, and it is up to us to speed up or slow down and steer straight, We are in the drivers seat. Each one alone has to make the decisions or choices that will merge us into the "right" or "left" lanes. There is no correct lane to be in as long as you are moving forward. The venture is personal and yet we have some pretty helpful back seat drivers that illici

The Difference Between "TRY and TRIUMPH" is a Little "UMPH"

That "UMPH " for the over eater is called WILL POWER . We may have tools to help us, but it is still the Will that needs Power to say 'no' to the things that would hinder our success. The trick is to notice when Will Power is wainning and to WORK to get it back to give you the "UMPH" you need for moving on Triumphantly. Maybe you could drag out an old picture, or think of all you have done thus far. I like to read posts from others on this site for inspiration. This site helps encourage will p

The Only Thing that Sat It's Way to Success was a HEN. !

You can not be a chicken when it comes to working out. Yes, I am egging you on to get up off the roost and work out. It's not a yolk. I am not pecking on anybody. I am pecking on all of us yolk-els on this site. For many, a good work out regimene will be the most eggsitement you have had for a good while. And that is the point eggs-actly ! Hens forth I want to see every one scramble everyday to work out . And if you do not ,guess what you will have on your face ? It doesn't have to be

Faith Makes Things Possible, Not Easy

My Bible verse for this day is found in Psalms 51:12 " Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit"... The Bible talks a lot about Restoring. Made me think, that is why we are on this site. WE ALL NEED RESTORING. How encouraging to know that we are also upheld and supported by His Spirit.. Faith is not a majic formula to make the fat WE imposed on our selves to majically disappear. Rather I believe it, and commitment and resolve is a stiffening process, a so

The Price of Anything is the Amount of Life You Exchange for IT.

Yesterday I asked a member friend of mine on this site if she would give me a pep talk as I had allowed myself an extra half bowl of soup. I explained, I feared this would lead to food controling me again. Well she gave me a pep kick instead of a pep talk. She asked me to consider if it was worth that one extra day to keep us from our goal. She also asked, what was more important to me? That stopped me in my tracks. I was expecting an "oh well, it was vegetable home made soup and not fat

When I was Young I wanted a BMW, now that I am Older I don't need the W

If you giggled at the blog title above you're probably in or near my age bracket. Honestly, I am ready to make a point here. Since I have been eating healthty and allowing my band to work for me I haven't had "said problem". I know it is because of the extra fiber I am consuming by eating fresh vegetables and fruit and my homemade vegetable soups with lentels and beans etc. So this has been another side benefit from choosing to eat healthy and staying on track. And the energy level has encr

I Know a Lot of Food is Tainted: It Taint For You and It Taint For Me

After two weeks of eating healthy foods and feeling the physical benefits, the above statement shouts it's truths to my energized mind and body. A balanced diet is not a cookie in each hand as I use to subscribe to. I know ,dear members, during this Holiday Weekend we are going to be tempted with all the trappings of failure as we encounter the riches of Christmas candies, pies, puddings and general Christmas treats. I am going to call this food group "tainted". I will not even consider ea

I Want Buns of Steel, not Buns of Cinnamon

I can say that is my desire now. For a long time it was the opposite. I would have choosen a warm gooey cinnamon bun just about over anything. When I put on my underwear and the fruit of the loom guys started laughing, I was not detered one bit from thinking or eating all the sweet gooey junk I could get my hands on.. And this my frilends was with the lap band.. But that was where I was at. I am on the road and truly committed to making healthy choices of what to eat. I am making soups o

I Wondered why my Frisbee was getting bigger....

Than It Hit Me !.... lol That is how I felt when I looked at myself in the mirror. I kept getting bigger and bigger. Even with the band I kept getting bigger and bigger. Then I had that experience of getting hit. And oh the pain. It came in the form of a heartfelt letter from my darling adult son. You know when someone throws a Frisbee at you and you put your hands up either to defend yourself or to catch it, but you miscaculate and the Frisbee "Clunks" off your head.? Well that was li

Change is Enevitable, except from Vending Machines

That is the magic of the lap band process.and this site. It brings about change when we allow it to work for us. It has been one whole week of renewed determination to allow the band and site to work with me. And the Changes that have occured are remarkable. No, I don't have a weight loss number to give you. Tho I know that will come. What has changed are things more of the heart, head and spirit. Reading and responding to many members on this site has been life changing. You have deepend my r

If your dog is too fat, you're not getting enough excercise !

Someone told me that joke once and since i have been doing a lot of self evaluation, It popped into my head. It got me thinking about excercise. Before I would say, " If God wanted me to touch my toes he would have put them up higher." I usually do make a joke out of some thing I find uncomfortable. And being obese ,as most of us know, is uncomfortable. Since finding this site and using and relating to many members I am stoked about letting my band work with and for me. I am wheelchair bou

I am grateful

Just one day after posting my first ever blog seeking "help" I am thrilled with all the great people who responded, Thank you all so much. My progress report is great. Three days of very healthy eating and still highly motivated. If any one has a tried and true idea that helped you keep going strong, please leave for me.... I have one to share that my husband would say to me often, but only now am i observing. It is this : "IF YOU BUY IT, YOU WILL EAT IT". It reminds one of : "IF you b

4yr failure and pulling no punches

Where to begin? i think by just plain admitting I like eating. I can't blame anyone or anything. I just plain like food. A LOT.! My body show just how much. The Michlene Tire Mascot is a mere shadow compared to me. I learned to sabatoge my lap band and will not give up any of my secrets here for obvious reasons. I have one grown son who sent me a heart wrenching e mail that both showed me how much he loved me and simutanously kicked me in the rear.(an easy target ) After his e mail wo
