So I got my head in the game today...the statistics have been bothering me, not that I put much stock in any stats but when they say that only so many people loose all of their weight, or that at x amout of time, 50% of people of gained back x amount of weight...it starts to make you think that this really isn't going to work.

Today, as I was thinking about that and if it is the right thing to do, and how fat I am and all that garbage, it dawned on me that those are JUST STATS, and it doesn't have to be me and that I really do want to do this because it does work and I dooooo really need help loosing weight.

One problem (well many...) that I need to overcome and it is part of eating better anyway so...I drink ALOT of pop, all diet, but I love my pop. I think you pretty much have to give that up at least for awhile, which is better than for ever. Also, DH's favorite restaurant is HUHOT, which can be healthy, just get meat and whatever veggies I would be able to eat, but paying $8 to take 3 bites hardly seems economical. He might just have to go by himself, or I guess I could try telling them I am just there to watch and not eat anything. Eating out is going to be hard no matter what or where.

SO, I am calling in the morning to make my appt. I really want/need to do this. GB would probably be better, needing to loose 200 pounsa and all and it would be faster, but you totally have to change everything drastically, where band is a more natural way eating.

need to go to bed, falling asleep!:biggrin:
