I weigh 288 pounds. I have tried many diets in the past and have lost weight, but I always gain it back to get back to the 290 area. not sure why my body seems to like that number. I know I hate it. I don't stop eating when I am full, especially when i made something or bought something that tastes great or that i hadn't had in a while. i sometimes wait about fifteen minutes and even though i am not hungry, i go back for more. i feel like i am asking myself so many questions....:huh: how is the lap band surgery going to change this? how is the lap band going to not make me eat junk food or sweets as a meal instead of a wise protein choice? i can't seem to do that now. I lost 83 pounds in 7 months on weight watchers a few years ago and i used most of my 33 points each day on junkie food or bad choices, but i still lost weight because i kept to my points. but of course gained it all back. what is the answer to not over eating? i have read some posts from bandsters that found themselves a few years later back to the weight that they were before the surgery. what is the likelihood of this happening? skinny people just don't get what we go through everyday. why do we live to eat instead of eat to live? i am just sick of having to deal with this issue, how did we find ourselves in this situation? life is hard enough without having to worry about your weight. why do some people have this connection with food and others don't? maybe i should go into this like a recovery addict does- ONE DAY AT A TIME.

ONE DAY AT A TIME I think is smart! I think it will always be a struggle for us but we keep trying...... that has to eventually be the difference. I have been smoke free for over a year now. But I tried quiting atleast 8 times before it finally seems to have worked. But I always remind myself...that if I smoke just one that is all it would take for me to be a "smoker" again. So instead of setting this long term goal...I wake up and say....today I will be smoke free.

Anyway...my point is just that I think you have the right mind set.....as with any addiction you have to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME in order to be successful.

and be proud of yourself everyday....because for pete sake....I don't know one person that can't live without food...That my friend is an addiction like no other.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
    • I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats! And a BIG congrats on quitting smoking a second time! It was hard enough to do it once... So - when I say BIG congrats... I mean BIIIIIG congrats! ❤️
