Loved this! Thank you for sharing it! Boy....I have had the same thoughts about so many of the same things!

This was beautifully written and I felt as if you were speaking while looking into my own soul - thank you so much for sharing your amazing words! And from one positive psychology based book author to another....I wish you much success on your journey! Namaste' - Lisa Hardwick

YAY for YOU!!! And hey.....TOOT that horn all you want!! I love hearing it! lol

I have a few questions that I am hoping may help you....

1. If you were to lose 15 pounds every couple of months - and KNEW that you were going to lose that amount....would it assist you in feeling less anxious? For me, it would....but I would want to be encouraged to know that was certainly going to happen with all of my hard work.

2. Do you know exactly how many calories you are consuming? And if you do - do you think you will be satisfied with less upon receiving additional fills in the future?

3. Do you think that if you had chosen to do this without the band - that there would be a higher likelihood of gaining it back. (I've lost hundreds of pounds and always gained them back....and more) I'm hoping the band will assist with this for me.

My heart aches for you that you are discouraged And I, too, am a self pay ($17K) and am extremely hopeful this is a tool that is going to work for me....when everything else has not. I've lost over 50 pounds on my own....and I am expecting the band to help me to continue and to keep it off this time.

On a very positive note - your numbers sound hopeful to me (15 pounds in 2 months) - and if you are exercising....perhaps you are building muscle too! Have you measured yourself? Maybe that would make you feel less discouraged?

I'm sending you some good energy....and if I can be of any help (I'm a newbie....but a really good listener!) feel free to let me know!

Here for you, Lisa
