Do you think...

Do you think that emotional baggage can set you back on your weightloss? lately I have been trying to find ways to let petty things go such as being annoyed that someone isn't doing something the way I do it. Its not even me! I am not them and they aren't me so why do I care so much? I am not sure how to let it all just go and not compare myself to others or critize others. I am no better than anyone else and we all put our pants on the same. I just gotta figure out how to let it all go...I guess I should join a support group...Its so hard finding ones out here and the one they do offer from my doctors office I always forget or when I do think about it ...it is too late   I will figure this out....just gotta worry about me and my family and that alone.

Truth is

I haven't been on here in a long while. I lost my dad to cancer this past November and then delt with the whole flu...I just haven't felt much like doing anything. I haven't lost anymore weight but I haven't gained either. In fact lately I have been so on board that I am trying to find good easy fast ways to lose weight...When in fact there really isn't much to it. Just healthy eating and exercise. I hate exercising because its not fun to me and it hurts...I have to remind myself that if it were easy everyone would do it. I am trying to get better with my food and have been doing well...I am still having a hard time getting enough calories in. I am drinking and eating every 3 hours but Still not enough...This weekend I plan on buying more veggies and fruit..Time to get real and time to quit feeling sorry for myself. I am ready for this and have been. I shouldn't stop because my dad wouldn't want me too. I wanna do this because this is for me no one else.

Help!!!

I also went to the forum but figured I'd put it here ...I am not sure what to do...   I am not sure if I am in the green zone or too tight…If your in the green zone are you able to just take sips because to big of a drink hurts going down or comes back up? Same with food. What about gurgling…do you gurgle after each drink even water? I also burp a lot with water when I didn’t before I am just not sure if I am good or too tight…help!

Getting There

I never thought that I could be on the verge of meeting my ultimate weightloss goal. I was just doing some thinking and realized that I am about 35 pounds away from my first goal and 51 pounds away from my ultimate goal and for the first time ever I can honestly say that I am going to get there and I will succeed. I have come so far this year to stop now. Even tho we have up's and down's that just gives you all the more reason to really concentrate on you! This last week was really tough for me but I also realize it could have been way worse then what it was. For that I am very grateful. It also just gives me that extra push to really get myself even more in shape. I know that I can do this and I want it even more. I need to take some pictures of me now and post more. I feel great and I don't even know when the last time was when I was this small. Its been along time that is for sure. I am so proud of myself and everything I have accomplished. I feel that great things are still in store and I just gotta keep positive because its gonna happen. In other news I wanted to lose 10 pounds by Aug 1 because we are going on a trip and I am 2 pounds away from that goal! Very proud of me! Thats all for now :wub: :ph34r:

Ouch!

I went in for a fill today and normally it doesn't bother me getting the fill but today when I got that needle poke it hurt bad and then I bled like crazy! This isn't normal and like I said for a person that is terrifed of needles fills don't bother me so not sure what happen there. The reason I went in for a fill was I was to tight then I had fluid removed was doing great then I got a piece of food stuck and puked it up. In turn caused me to swell where drinking water caused me to gurgle and burp every time I took a drink. So they removed some fluid Now I am not feeling well not related to the fill but getting in a hurry I drank to big a gulp and ugh that didn't feel to great going down.   Why is it that when we go on a liquid diet for the day of and after is when I want normal foods that I wouldn't eat anyway. ICK makes no sense...oh well guess I am just gonna sit here in misery hoping that its just allergies and not really anything else...hope everyone else is doing good

I Am Gonna Punch You In The Face!!

Yea thats right I am gonna punch you food right in the face! I am sick and tired of you always winning and in this long hard battle we are enduring is over. I am fianlly taking over my life. Its not live to eat but eat to live. Your just there to nourish me and keep me going. I am sick of letting you consume me when in the long run it does NO good. I am miserable and just sitting and regretting oh why did I do that. Well, no more regrets I am getting healthy and you can just move on. I no longer will hide and make myself feel bad because I will continue to do all the right things and in the end when I am standing on top I will reach my healthy goal weight and live longer and continue to have an amazing life. So Food I give you the middle finger and say buh bye. I will only need you to nourish my body!

Baby Steps

Funny I woke up pumped today gonna get my workout in and then as the day progressed I got sleepy took a nap got up and was just like forget it. I was just like whatever not in the mood screw it. Then I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I did. I workedout for an hour I just changed it up. I have many workout games for the Xbox Kinect and the Wii. I figured I should add those in along with what I am doing try and make it fun that way I don't give up. I am getting bored with the same ol same. I am really glad I got a workout in. Normally I would take Saturdays off but I haven't worked out this week like I should so I decided to get it in today. I also went ahead and created my menu for tomorrow and get that all laid out that wayall I have to do is grab and eat. Less thinking will help with not over doing it. I think when I don't plan that is where I have the most trouble but we shall see. Regardless its all about baby steps... I need to realize that I am not just going to blink and POOF its gone...I lost the first 67 pounds easily now its time to really do the work. Anyway I hope all have a great rest of your weekend and all that jazz

How Long Do You Work Out?

I've read many different things and now I am just wondering how many days a week you work out and for how long? I try and get at least 3 but really need to increase that. I figured I'd just ask around and see what is the most common one. Happy 4th to everyone!

I Met A Small Goal!

It's all about baby steps and I finally reached a simple minor goal. That was to get at least a one workout this weekend because I tend to skip the entire weekend all together well I did it!. I worked out for 40 mins and I feel pretty darn good about it! :wub: I think my negativity and problem is wanting it all right now and over doing it. So I figured babysteps and I will get there in due time. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel good and thats all that matters so Keep on Keeping on!!

Buddies Apply Here!

Well, Hello to you that is currently reading this. My name is Kanda and I am 31 married with one son. I had my lapband on October 27th and have lost 67 pounds. Lately, I have been stuck in a rut but today I wake up and realize life is great and I will succeed. I am hoping to find others that want some buddies no matter where we live because lets face it...we are the only one's that know what its like going thru this whole ordeal. Our struggles and our positives. I live in Colorado but am from Texas. I have to say even tho lately I've been sorta down...This is the best thing I have done for myself. I suffer from PCOS so that does not help when trying to lose weight. anyway I hope to meet people that just want to vent or be cheered on so Good luck to all of us!! :wub:

Doing Something Wrong?

Have you worked your booty off and when you do a weekly check in and nothing has changed? I am really thinking it has come down to food. I just don't think I am getting enough. I see alot where 1200 is the lowest one should go I am pretty sure I don't get that much or close. Its not that I am doing it on purpose but I just don't think about it cause I am either really busy or doing something else. I need to really sit down and do my menu up of 1200 calories a day but rearrange it to where I have variety. Thats another problem is not having enough variety that I get bored and quit. Does anyone have any suggestions that work for them? I am a trainer at my job so there are times that I am up walking around teaching so I forget to grab a snack. I am not sure how to break that habit cause we do have breaks which is a good time to grab a snack but I just continue to work. I am trying really hard not to beat myself up about not losing weight and working my butt off. I am going to continue to work out I just got to really figure my eating out. I struggle with foods so its like I just get by with just enough. Yesterday tho I had a scary thing happened. I stood up to walk to my kitchen and got so dizy that I saw tunnel vision and then I was holding my phone and it felt like it was 10 pds. It quickly went away but enough to make me dazed. I am taking my vitimins like I should so I am thinking it has to come down to food. Its tough because I am an emotional eater and well I can't simply give up food we all know thats not even an option. I know I need to sit down and do the menu but when it comes time I just tend to be lazy. I am like a sad broken record...sighs...Gotta keep going and keep my head up....

Travel And Dieting...any Advice?

So I just found out that I may have to travel to Virginia for a week. I have traveled there a few times already but now I am really kicking it in high gear and working out...The company will pay for all my foods however only eating out...they won't pay for stores due to others taking advantage of it. Does anyone have any advice as being banded doesn't make it easy eating out. ICK HELP!

Not So Much About The Band More Of Just A Rant

You know I don't get people. How can you talk trash about someone and then expect them to be your friend? I have been nothing but nice to this person and have done everything I can to assist and help but in turn get treated like nothing. I don't get it. Some days I feel just alone. I try and come on here and other sites hoping to find and make friends with others but so far I must be doing something wrong. Things have changed. Oh well. I will continue on with my self change and writing. In other news fires are all over Colorado and the smoke is making alot of people sick. So far I am ok but I just know its going to hit like a ton of bricks and knock me down. I hope not tho because I don't want to use that as an excuse to slow me down. So far this week starting on Monday I have logged alittle over 6 miles and that is encourging. Today I am a bit sore from doing pilates. A good sore...anyway guess I am done for now...

What Keeps You Going?

Ever have days where you just want to sit up and say no to workouts but you know that won't do no good? I am sitting here and decided not to work out this morning which is fine because I'll work out in the afternoon. What is your self motivator? Ever feel like stopping? I know that losing weight is the greatest feeling ever but when you have those days when your down what do you tell yourself?   Meh...tired today and a bit cranky! :ph34r:

Dear Food, You Annoy Me

I realize that just because I had surgery that my struggles with food would not come to an end. I am so tired of my issues with food. Its supposed to be fuel for the body!...so why do I think about food all the time!? I am not sure how to get thru this. I started seeing a therapist but nothing seems to help. Willpower needs to kick in high gear and even then I give in and say oh I'll start tomorrow. So tell me why do I do that when I want this so much I could scream? do I not want it that bad? These are questions that I constantly play in my head. I can't answer them and if I do I get pumped up for a few mins and then its gone. I am frustrated because I am at a loss. I am not giving up tho. I am very determined to do this. I just have to struggle with all that on top of it that it weighs down. Lately I am exhausted and use that as an excuse to not work out but when I do work out I fell great...I don't get it. Yesterday I had to go in to the doc's to have fluid removed because I got super sick on Monday causing me to vomit in turn swell so in order for me to even get water down they had to remove fluid. I go back in a few weeks to have it put back but still I sit here hungry...even tho I am on a liquid diet due to the issue for today and back to normal tomorrow I just know that once "let" lose I'll be like do I really want that Sure why not and gobble gobble. I don't mean to sound like poor me poor me...I realize its all me...I just don't get how I want it so much to just fail... well thats my vent for the day...hope everyone else is doing awesome :wub:

Keep On Keeping On

This is my first entry on here, I've been on some websites but I am hoping to get the support here. So here goes...I had my surgery Oct 27, 2011...Overall I am pretty happy with my weightloss but I really want more support...Let's face it...just because we had surgery doesn't mean our battle is over. I am doing better and better with food but I have to admit I have days were I just want and want. I don't give in because one...I can't handle bread so its not a bad thing that I can't shovel my face with it. ha! I know this is short but for now I am just going to surf this site and talk with others...Good luck to all!
