T

i was one of those people (in my days when i was addicted to weighing every 5 seconds) that if it went up, i figured WTheck..i am up so i may as well really be up...YOU are 100% correct in saying its a mind game.....a mind thing....ALL mental...i feel once you really (get it)......the reality sets in that yeah you can truly do it.......if you want too.

GREAT POST

went to search for something .......and found what i wanted to share with you about your post.....i post it to you with love:

terry, your belief in yourself is evident

you are stronger than you know and its my honor to be your friend

your (want power) over rode those (just eat) feelings...i am proud of you.

i enjoy all your posts

tell mistress band i said hey (that southern for hi)

great post kime. I speak only for me and in reference, but if I didn't want to lose weight and get healthy, no WLS or gimmick would help. it may help a little but the fire goes out and them boom...so I had to make a choice, much like you wrote....we make our destiny. I firmly believe you either go for it with all your heart and give it a (chance) or you don't....believe...and want it..

keep standing tall my friend:

nice post cheryl

thanks for the info

you may not get alot of readers on this post with my name on there chickee but i am honored....anyhow, you doing what works for YOU is what its all about....(having the meals/veggies/fruit) already prepared does help doesnt it?? gives you a complete control feeling...

i am sooooooo proud of you

this is all YOU

Princess, you didn't forget my birthday, it's on Thursday (9th). This is right on time!!!

***i am gonna go pout in the corner***

....you deserve EVERYTHING you get and that gift was amazing...

some friend i am.....forget your birthday (so caught up in crazy work, even crazier in law issues and non stop driving myself (and you and the dawg) crazy in fl with my own (craziness).

forgive me for 4getting your birthday....id send sammy over to visit you on his private plane if i could reach him..but he blocked me for some odd reason.

anyhow for you:

no need to feel (embarrassed)

i am sure everyone has felt (sick) for whatever reason

in front of someone (before) and went home.

last year, michelle, a lady who i work with, we were having a

conference meeting, the ceo, cfo etc was in there and all of

a sudden, the grabbed the trashcan and threw up...just like that..

she then acted like nothing happened....after she cleaned up.

part of life i guess.

try not to fret..hang in there okay,

i am sorry to read this.

i so hope you feel better soon.

you are never far from my thoughts.

i love ya

great post pumpkin

bet there are way more fancy stores in boston there where i live

if i ever get there to visit, lets go shopping

could be eating too fast, too big of bite or your bands sign of saying, we had enough and stop eating,,,,,,happens to me also

i like option 1

but i am not a doctor. i am sure the dr wil do what is best for you.

bless your heart. this sounds just awful...hang in there. sending much positive pink vibes from nc that i can..

coming to fly over texas on my magic carpet to drop a pink glitter bomb over your head and the chicken coop........warning you.....be on the look out for a pink flying magic carpet (most likely swerving around clouds)......

eating chicken doesnt sound bad (here i was thinking it was a pizza or something like that). so you ate. so you ate more than you thought you should have.....move on and do better today.

your getting hungry because your swelling is going down...you need to sip as much as you can (including your protein shakes) at this time...the first 4 to 6 weeks is for healing and not be overly concerned about losing weight and such....

your dr gave you instructions on what to drink and for how long, try to stick to it the best you can...any questions, its best too call and ask them as they may not want you to do what mine suggested.

T Pops...I could have written your exact post a couple of years ago. I just knew I was eventually gonna get right back to my old habits, thinking this was only a diet, I'd return to eating too much, etc, etc. But I was wrong! At least for me, for now, I no longer have that same fear. It took me much longer than a lot of folks to reach this point.....but I'm here! Now, I am at a wonderful spot with my band. But more importantly, even with my head. Congrats to you, my friend, and keep on rolling!

I think what you wrote makes sense. all the (past) failures are close and we remember...so what makes us think we can succeed this time...how I see it........just keep going I guess.....everytime I see someone say how do I survive bandster hell or the liquid pre or post op, I just wanna say by keep on going

I am trying to as best I can as I am responsible. but I do give ALOT to my ole man for all he does for me and WITH me....I would have a lonely road w/o him (and my lap band friends I made on this forum)

t , i agree with your post on all accounts.

there is yeah i want to lose weight (that was me not long ago as i dipped my hand back into the bag of chips) and then there is the WANT to where i actually did something about it.

YOU have that. you are a want power success god and i am proud of you...thanks for mentioning me although not sure what you read bless your heart.

whats done is done,

you are not a failure. to fail means to quit and say F** it...

so you start over

eat your allotted cup of food.....lean protein, veggies, fruit

cut out the junk/fast/snack foods, drink alot and walk (if its all you can do)...but just begin, today, right now. no excuses, no woe is me BS.

we cant take back the past but we can change the future.

if we want too

you CAN do this..yes YOU can.....and i will argue with you all day

if you want me to...

if you want to, then do it..

decisions......french fries or cabo wabo tequila......let me think....

LOVE THIS and plan to print it out and keep it here at work

kime (hugs) for mentioning me and my ongoing drama of hate mail

bless your heart for saying i do good. that means everything.

and sometimes people are just ignorant.

its as simple as that. and sorry you have to had go through that.

love ya much

inches mean you are losing.....LOVED your post.

you go girl........doing a happy dance for you (flipping up my skirt and everything) just for YOU.
