Finally figured it out, thank you.

Hooray, I finally figured out how to attach a picture.

Oh, and I am going away to a fabulous spa for the weekend, so I will be unable to post, just in case you come and attack me again, that is. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

Like I said on the other thread, why are you not understanding what you read??? I said I looked faboulous at 135, where did I say I looked fat?? Come on, just get over it. And my post originally was NOT ABOUT YOU!! You are so damn fascinated with yourself..I only started repying to you, when you made this about you.. Oh God, you have some serious skinny issues.. Okay, Okay if it will make you feel better about yourself.. I am your same height and I weigh 135.. I am gross and obese. If I want to be perfect, I have to be a size 0 like Chickie.. I will make that my life GOAL, NOT! This is ridiculous, I'm not in highschool anymore.. so I thought!

I'm done with this, but as a final note, I have received more than one email from people telling me they are tired of Chickie and her fascination with herself and her thinness.. They too feel she is using these skinny/thin comments personally so that others can jump in and validate how good she looks and how successful she has been. I too have said that I'm glad that you are healthy and got to your goals. Do you not understand what you read correctly?? Stop reading between the lines.. Oh, yes Chikie you are beautiful and please put back your pictures. As far as your blog, I have never and will never make any journal entries, because unlike others, I am not one of your worshipers and have better things to do than come on here especially for you. You know I left lapband a year ago for this same very reason, nothing has changed.. Good luck to you all, yes, even Chickie. You do though should seek help for the issues you have with being the size you are (you are one freaked out chick, about being so skinny, that is!), whatever that size maybe.. You are way to obsessed with the whole skinny thing.

I had a difficult time after banding. I had to go back to liquids for a while. And it seemed that the more I tried to eat mushies, the worse I would get.. so it was liquids for me, hated it. Sometimes you aggravate the band and it gets tighter, at least for me that was the case. Hope all goes well, good luck.

Why not?? I think she should. If someone is harassing her that way and personally attacking her in pm's why can't she out them out?? She doesn't owe them any respect if they are disrespecting her. The hell with whoever is sending her those pm's.. she needs to post them, maybe then they will stop. Let's see them, who is attacking poor ole Chickie??

<p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I would love to see them too, so why don't you post them??

I think Liquid Asset sounds like a great name.

Ya'll are a hoot.. I love this board.

I deleted my post because quite frankly I'm tired of trying to explain myself to YOU! If you go back and read my posts, It has never been about you! I said for me, and only me, that would be too skinny. I have a big ass and I have even bigger boobs who don't disappear with weight loss. When I was weighing 135 I looked very thin, for ME. I had liposculpture of my whole/entire body, arms, back, waist,ass, inner and outer thighs, and a tummy tuck. Every spot on my body was reduced of fat and so at 135-137, I looked fabulous and was not fat anymore. My husband loved me FAT, so I guess at 135 I was at a good healthy weight and looked beautiful to HIM. He was also afraid that I was getting too obsessed with my weight loss. I hardly wanted to eat and was fanatically excercising and was totally consumed by wanting more.. I guess that is were his concern came from. It was at that point that I re-evaluated myself and decided that was a good weight FOR ME! If you think that because I am not as thin as you are (because I"m your same height, of course) that I am morbidly obese, then that is your problem and not mine. I think you have to stop obsessing with what you think others think of you. You are totally consuming yourself with this.. Who cares what the hell others or I think. If you feel great and healthy at that weight, then good for you. I wish you would admit though that there can be something such as too thin/skinny.. Yes, Nicole and the Olsen girl were anorexic and were too damn skinny. Nicole was down to 90 lbs and that I don't care what the hell anybody thinks, is not healthy and she looked like a walking skeleton. You on the other hand, look very toned and healthy in your pictures. But oh hell, I'm done with trying to get you to understand that IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!

I'm going to celebrate my bandiversary on Nov. 4th.. oh, look there is a birdie sitting on a tree outside my office window. Maybe I'll have chicken for lunch, I'm not in the mood for fish.

I had not seen Dr. 90210 in forever and last night, I caught it. He is certainly as crazy as ever. He is one of a kind for sure. I did notice though that Halley (sp?) has lost a lot of weight. Do you think she looks good? She used to be thin but looked very good and healthy and last night on the show, she looked extremely thin and her face looked pale. Certainly not very pretty at all. I didn't watch the whole show, but seems to me like the previews where implying that she might be pregnant. I don't want to start any disputes, by thinking she is ill looking or too thin. I just want someone to bring me up to date on what is going on with the show. Maybe if she is pregnant, she might be dealing with morning sickness and all that crap. Give me the scoop, please.:clap2:

What an idiot. The band is NOT an easy way out. Just blow him off and ignore him.. Do like when we were kids, "sticks and stons can break my bones, but words will never hurt me!!!" And if that doesn't work, just give us a call and we'll get on a bus and come kick his ass.

I wonder if it is just an act for the show, you know, the flamboyantness. I think she is beautiful, but is too thin and unhealthy looking. And I doubt that she will stand up for herself and stick to her choice of not wanting another child. I think it is wrong for a man or woman to try and make their partner do something they don't want to do, especially something as important as having another child.

<p>Hello and welcome UltraGeek. You are very fortunate that your insurance will cover your procedure. I'm glad that you are here and posting. This board is great, we are here for you. Keep us posted and good luck.</p>

That is exactly my problem, I will take a piece of cake over steak any day of the week (I love steak too, but I like cake more). I am an emotional eater, and the only thing wrong with that is that I eat FOR ALL OF MY EMOTIONS, SAD, HAPPY, DEPRESSED, ALL OF THEM.

Congrats on your new band!

Everyone is right, do it for you. Not for what anyone will think. My best friend (who is no longer my best friend) who I still love dearly, took it upon herself to tell others (when I chose to keep this in my family). When she noticed I was starting to look good and get compliments she felt she needed to let everyone know that I was losing weight because of the band. She made comments like, this was cheating and unnatural and that it was the easy way out. I don't know what kind of journey it has been for others, but for me it certainely has not been easy. And if you want to know the real truth, she is very overweight and cannot afford to have this surgery.. I bet you anything that if she could, she would in a heartbeat. This has put a major strain on our relationship, it is sad. But I have enough to deal with in my own life to worry about what others think. Whether their intentions are good or bad, I could give a rats ass what they think. So bottom line.. do this for yourself, take control of your life. The band is a wonderful tool, for me personally, my weight will always be a struggle. Luckily I have the band to help me in my journey. Good luck.

Did you think my post was directed at you?? It was not. Why have you taken all my posts personally??

<p>This to me has turned into, Because I got to my desired weight goal and I excercise more than you, I'm better than you.. Bottom line what some of you are doing is passing judgement and imposing your idea of success on everyone else. We all started at the same place. NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANOTHER JUST BECAUSE THEY GOT TO THEIR MAGIC NUMBER. If I choose to not be a size 0 or 2 because that is what I'm supposed to weigh for my height, then f#*k that. I am what I want to be whether it fits your image or idea of success.

They are doing great. I have been real busy too, but needed to come back here to get motivated and back on track. Well, I had been at my goal weight for over a year. But the fat monster found me again, I've gained about 15 lbs, but I'm getting back on my horse again. I haven't been filled in over a year and will get a fill in a week. I can't wait. Wow, I am amazed at how much the site grew. I hardly know anyone on here anymore. Well, I am so glad that you are doing great. Your grandson is beautiful. Take care, and talk to you soon.

Sorry to post here, but I just noticed Penni posted.. Are you there my dear Penni. Do you remember me?? We had lunch in Orlando. How are you doing? Drop me a line sometime.

And, I too am human and screw up plenty and like Meg Ryan in You Got Mail, I forgot to vote in the last elections. I was at a spa and enjoyed every minute of it.

I still stick to what I said.
