Day five down and nine to go to becoming a bandster...

So I have officially learned why I did not want a bunch of people knowing about my surgery or people who did not support me. I had a friend call to tell me that one of my past co-workers is planning to go on a diet the same day I have surgery to supposedly prove to me that I can lose the weight with discipline. I am kind of feeling pretty upset about this.. Also this co-worker was stating I was getting my stomach stapled. I wish that before people opened their mouths they would gather all the facts and not just assume or make things up... I told my friend to let my co-worker know challenge on and in five years we will see where we both are. Why would me having this surgery have any bearing on now why she can lose the weight. Why not before the type 2 diabetes and the other health concerns.. Anyways enough of that.

I am doing this for me first and foremost and then for my family... I maybe spending thousands but if it increases my life another 10 to 20 years then I would spend this money several times over.

This band is only a tool I will still need to put the healthy foods in my mouth. I will still have to exercise.. I will just have an added bonus to help me lose and keep the weight off. If I had of succeeded with regular diets I would not be weighing 295 pounds.

Anywhoo only nine days left and tomorrow my day will go fast because I get to go to New Moon.. Come on all you out there lets here a shout for new moon.. LOL I am sitting here now with my hubby watching Twilight getting ready.... LOL

Anyways talk to you all tomorrow...

PS.. I was said I was going to be honest on here so I have to admit I had two small pieces of meat tonight because I was starving... Doing well otherwise..

I also want to thank all of my positive support people out there that dont think I am taking the lazy way out.. THis is still going to be hard work.. I will not let this become a negative experience for me.. Love you all...

HA HA HA lol a good friend of mine said the same to me. Its not even 12 months and i have lost over 60 lbs and she has gained and lost the same 10lbs over and over. Now hasn't seen me for a few months and we don't really see each other any more. I never set out for a competion and don't see it as one, I need this for me, she must of felt threatened or something.

bring it on

Chooky

People are nuts. You are doing this for you and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Good luck! I hope you do great!
