Glad to know , a lot could have happened , and if you were wandering why you made have got a few head aches, or were real sleepy , that gas leak may have been the problem also it was a good thing you didn't light nothing around it , OMG , well I am glad the gas company found and fixed it.

Sounds like somebody took the expression "Put a cork in it" way too literally! Glad y'all found it before somebody got hurt.

As you said Today is a new day , so you just (jump) right back on don't walk (running so jus keep d} and jump back on lol , you've been doing your thing so keep doing it , you know what you did , and what you have done you got this no problem look what would have happened before your life style and little tool helped to change so don't stress yourself and we are human , you have been on this journey and are doing good ,

Looks like a lot of fun. Congrats on your first 5k!
You look great!!

I'm so proud of and happy for you T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look great! I should have came and did that one with you all, but we will get in a run soon. Congrats to you!

You look SO happy......Wonderful!!

Woo Hoo that is what we call a NSV... Fantastic for you.

Congrats! It are the small things like this that mean the very most!

I think all of us have that fear.. I saw a lady today @ Walmart with huge legs and she was barely able to walk to the electric cart.. she looked to be younger than me but Lord help her she was so sad looking.. I know I was headed for the electric cart myself ..could hardly make it through the store without leaning on the grocery cart... I thank God everyday that I decided to take charge of my health and got my band before it was too late... it's moments like these that make you say there by the Grace of God go I...

It does suck for the government employees as all of us weather we are in govermemt or not most of us just try to make ends meet and if you don't have two incomes you struggle , this really does effect everyone , they don't think it does but it does as I work at a grocery store , but if our customers don't have the funds then they don't buy as much and when we get slow they cut hours to save labor cost so then I don't get hours and make money, I hope you can actually get hours and get help from some where to help you at this time.

Good job T!! Just concentrate on getting back to 100%. Glad to hear youre doing better. Have fun at the walk Saturday.

Sorry to hear about your friend. That is sad.
Good for you getting back on track. Mother Nature was mean to you, bad girl!
Good luck with your run. Just remember it doesn't matter where you come in, as long as you finish you will be a successful runner!

I went shopping the other day on my day off at the store and I asked one of the ladies I work with in the deli for a lb of pasta we sell and she said you can't eat all that I said I know I just want to have a few bites as they see how much I eat and stay full and satisified on what I drink or eat , then I had to tell her it was for the family mostly so I got it home and I ate 3 bites and I was satisified on it but then y stomache started to bloat so no pasta for me but it was good and satisfied the craving I had , however I don't need my stomache to expand as this is why I got banded lol plus my over eating and not knowing when to stop so I am glad this tool helps me recognize now.

I miss that at times too. I have been out with family as they are "chowing down" and I kind of missed being able to enjoy a hearty/hefty meal. My smaller belly doesn't miss it though.

Hi Terry,
Just got off the phone with my hubby a little while ago, and you know he said the same thing to me. "I miss eating".
I can understand that, but in the same breath we are both grateful for the band restriction.

Yea, the shake is part of the problem, but I solid foods and I just don't get along in the morning. Funny thing was wasn't hungry, I just wanted to eat

I agree Terry and I think most of us have that problem. I eat every two hours only because my blood sugar drops. Maybe it would help if you did the six small meals every two hours instead of three meals. I know it makes a difference in how I feel. Hate that blood sugar dropping feeling.

Sounds like you had a great time! Don't fret over your eating....you're doing great. I eat a piece or sometimes two of thin crust from Fridays South in Collinsville every couple of weeks...just like you said, slow and easy. Congrats on starting running! I'm doing the Italian Fest 5km on the 21st....care to join us? It's at 8am....but the start line is walking distance from my house. I've been doing the path they are taking for a couple of weeks now. AND I can tell a difference since I started running. As the support group folks kept telling me, I've gotten some new threads....down two waist sizes in the last two months. I don't EVER remember being a 34" waist! Maybe in junior high...haha. HAPPY! See you soon.

Have a wonderful time. Walking around will help with your exercise, also.
