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 gue
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
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!
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
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 b
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 longe
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
UGH, I want to work out and I should but I am so Tired. Trying to get my motivation going is hard...But I just need to get 30 minutes in but meh...I've got to figure out ways to get going...before surgery when I had to lose weight I did it no problem I was losing a pound a day but now meh...Don't get it...I'd give anything to have half the energy I had when I was younger....anyway hope everyone had a good 4th! Not bad here it was nice but it totally thru me off having the day off in the middle o
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!!
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 Te
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
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!
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 othe
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:
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? T
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 fac
