emotional eater needs a mentor/anyone willing?
As I once told my doctor..its not that Im always hungry and have to eat..its that something goes right or wrong in my world and I cope with food! Hi Kim- My names Tiffaney and you are not alone! lol I found out that I had to start new habits to replace the old ones. So now when I get upset I got for a walk..instead of relying on the sugar rush, I get the endorphins from exercise..even if its a 5 minute walk, it helps. Last Thanksgiving I got into several fights with my family and ended up leaving for a walk about 7 times..lol but on the plus side I wasnt miserable from over eating. Also you can try things like crystal light w splenda..thats saved me alot, Ill make it into like a real sweet lemonade. Ive also used Protein shakes. My doctor is anti-Protein Shakes but weve agreed that it beats me eating that tub of ice cream! I will blend them and freeze them..O and of course smoothies. They help me get in my fruit and they can replace something not quite as good. Basically the key is to get away from what you used to do heres my email..email me whenever you need to talk about this ok?! Im not sure what the deal is with the mentoring thing, I dont 100% get it, but I did go through what you are and am willing to help you :thumbup: tifferoni326@hotmail.com tiffaney

Desperate...anyone have good dog training advice?
gently pushing them down actually encourages them to jump.."She touched me! Im gonna do it again!" The gentle leader is great..it acts like a more dominant dog which will come up and grab a submissive dog by his mouth to remind them of thier place..unfort. alot of people freak out when thier dog wears one for the 1st time because the dog will throw a fit and pretend to choke and just have a flip out Kneeing them in the chest will work, if you can get them in the chest..you can also teach them to sit when excited..this is what my dogs do..theyll sit there and thier tails go 90 to nothing.. if you still have problems message me. I worked as a personal dog trainer through college..Id love to help

So maybe im a little OCD...
first off..as a society on a whole arent we all concerned with our outward appearance? Seriously I mean even those peopl ewho say they dont care do..they care enough to say they dont care.. as for everything else, I believe its completely normal to think about all these improvements you could make..Id look darn good with 100 dollar bills sticking out of my pocket...we all need to dream..tell your boyfriend that at least youre not picturing ourself thin, without glasses, white teeth and a sexy new boy toy :thumbup: lol

disappointed
Ok So Ive had great luck in my weight loss. Im struggling now to adjust to a normal life and get good eating habits.,,my question is.. Is anyone else disappointed in what they look/act like? I had these visions all my life of when I was skinny Id be beautiful and everyone would want to be my friend and I would have this great life...lol like being skinny would solve my problems or something Now yes I know thats silly, and of course I didnt expect it to happen..but is anyone else like disapointed in how they look as they loose weight.. Im not talking about loose skin or anything..anyways just wondering if I was the only one carrying this particular baggage:wink2:

Dating after Lap Band
1: Actually most of my friends dont even know..so no 2: Actually once it did bother me..or I thought it did..but nope that was my hip bone..found it!! 3: Ive had people when they found out say O you took the easy way out. which is why so many of my friends dont know, Its a topic people seem to feel free about letting their beliefs out about, even when theyre not wanted... I mean if a date told you about his concern over his uncle who is loony as a bat do you tell him O well thatstuff travels in the gene pool? NO! ( or good manners dictate a negative response ) but yet people think i want imput on what they think about my choice

College bandsters- how long until back in class?
I had my band put in on thursday..went to class on friday. My teacher was a complete you know what and said that since I wasnt having surgery on Friday I shoud be well enough to attend...I was so mad, I clipped my lil pain medication bag to the outside of my shirt and refused to sit in a desk because it put pressure on my stomach..I did get pity from class mates though

Seeking support - hurt feelings
umm Im sorry but a-whole...its bad enough for him to think it but to confess it.. sounds to me like he has self confidence problems of his own adn wants to make sure you feel fat, so youll stay w him. funny thing is the cutest couples are those that are well matched in my opinion..two ugly people look better together then a cute one and a ugly one..sorry if this offends someone but ive always felt this way..anyways..point is every guy might want to date a supermodel, but not every guy looks like brad pitt or orlando bloom etc..so next time he says something like that, assuming you stay w him of course, mention yeah i understand, I mean Im not angelina jolie..but of course youre not brad pitt either! I mean if hes gonna insult you, show him what its like...or at least think this to yourself as you leave the table or it in silence in the car!

Dr. Spiegel - Would you recommend him?
I had the option of him and the doc I actually used.. I wasnt impressed with him..I kinda thought he came off as an arrogant a**. I realize that hes very successful doc but I was more comfortable with my doctor who took the time to spend quality time with me..I even had pics drawn for me by my doctor! lol..I just felt like a number with spiegel, whereas at my doctors office they recognize me when i walk in..even once when i came on the wrong day! lol but these are just my impressions!

Where does it go!
not to get too technical here, but basically your bodys main fuel is glucose, a 6 carbon sugar...glucose braeks down too easily to be stored, so your body changes it into another sugar glycogen when your glucose levels are low, because you arent consuming the groceries or you are working out, the body will convert the stored glycogen back into a sugar that can then be broken down and used... the breaking of the ATP to ADP is the actual energy, and I dont want to go too into it for fear of losin everyone! Your adipose cells (fat cells) have large storage containers to store the sugars until they are needed, as the sugars are removed from the cells they shrink in size..after you eat a do-nut, they increase! While most cells )i forget if bloodcells can or not) are capable of storing "energy" the fat cells are specialized for this task

Dating, geez, HELP.
Ok so first off..NEVER EVER dumb yourself down..I mean do you want a man that isnt comfortable with your intelligence? I get told all the time that I should do this and I refuse..end of story..If they are that easily intmidated by a girl w brains, then tell them to go back to the middle ages, when girls were just there to bake and look at!! As to the other thing..go outside of your circle. All of your friends prob have you calssified as a friend and this puts you on a untouchable status...go out with people you wouldnt normally, Im not talking about people u dont know, just the ones you dont know as well. As Ive lost weight Ive had guys start to take a interest in me..for example, this one guy who I had a crush on for over a year..we were great friends. We went to the movies together and hung out alot..but we never crssed beyond friendship...but when i lost weight, we did. Its not that he wasnt interested in me fat, bc we were seriously really good friends and if my weight bothered him he wouldnt have hung out as much..its like he saw me as a girl w the potential to b a gf. Like it didnt cross his mind b4 or something...And honestly I didnt take offense to this, bc all my life Ive used my weight as a shield against being hurt..so can the world help it if they see a shield b4 a girl. Also, talking about guys you meet or date around other people makes others see you as avalible and might click w your guy friends

When did you start gaining weight
Umm I guess I was never really the skinny kid, but I wasnt a kid that when you saw me you thought I was chubby. In kindergarten I had a bad encounter with some classmates, and after that I started gaining weight, and managed to keep it on through high school and most of college..lucky me right! lol
