Hmm, that's interesting, had a weird dream and all I can remember is someone asking me if I was on coke or soemthing, and a fire burning that everyone was ignoring

Holidays over time to get back to it, and I have come to realize it's not the extra weight that makes me feel bad, its the guilt. Crazy mind ..

It's from our upbringing about weight, it's listening to society's idea of the perfect weight, and somehow in all that, our mind tries to fit in our lives into those molds, and it doesn't work and we know it doesn't work, but we still try. It's hard to change a lifetime of thought, but we MUST try for our own well being and sanity!.

hubby fine, had neck work done, everyone kept asking him if I was his wife, good or bad? I'd like to think good, he said if one more person asked him he was going to say I was the housekeeper

I choose to roll up my gym pants ,not because they don't fit over fat calves, I choose to wear hubbys teeshirts, not because they are the only thing that used to fit me! NSV!

I finally went over the line, the cholesteral line that is,. dr says meds and diet, but I've been on a diet since lapband!! grr

After I was sleeved, my cholesterol went waaaaay up. My doctor said it was probably because I was getting too much of my protein from peanut butter, cheese, sausage, and bacon. Oh snap! So, I have been focusing on fish and chicken and expect the numbers to be down next time. Also, two years out< i am still on BP meds. Doc said that was because I am post-stroke and that I may never get off the BP meds. Not the result I wanted, but my overall health is far better than it has been for decades. Just think of your meds as "better living through chemistry."

That is definitely what has happened to me then, because I lived on cheese/peanut butter. I was off my bp meds for a few months but had to get back on them, lower dose but still. It had been my aim to get off of everything. I also told by someone that once you start cholesterol meds (statins) if affects your liver and everything else! I got enough problems. Thank goodness I have a cardio appt next week. When both my parents died 5/8 years ago, of heart problems, I went to cardio, to follow up preventative, luckily everything looked good at that time, trying to keep fit. thanks for everyone's words, just part of the journey

I found a sticky in going through my lapband stuff, it says Carb's first then Protein, can't remember why I wrote it

I have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I try to keep weight off, diet and working out, sometimes age and gravity win!

Maybe they'll win a battle or two, but NEVER war! Live to fight another day.

I have to realize that although I have stopped the abuse on my body, there was still damage done, I have to allow my mind/body to heal from that still.
