No game

Hey you don't get to be the most hated... Oh I mean "liked" person on VST unless your quick on the uptake.

"IF" I land a shot!!

Hehehehe..... Free shoes! What are you some kinda super athlete now? just getting stuff for free?

3 for me today! (Treadmill) so 38.7

Ditto! I'd be a clicking fool!

Good morning (or afternoon) Tuesday fast girls. I'm doing today. So far so good. I plan on exercising and shopping today to help pass the time! Hope everyone is doing well... Have we heard from GT?

Good luck today! Check in when your feeling up to it

If there was, I bet I'd be on the leader board for the most!!

Yes there are some here that have experienced crossover addictions... I have, to a smaller degree experienced it. I've never had an drug or alcohol addiction. But I come from a family with both (my mother and brother) This is a post from me some months back.... Comfort.. It's why I ate. Numbing myself with each bite, from what? Past trauma? Disappointment? Boredom? Life? The answer? All of the above. As you know a lot of us struggle with addictive personalities here. If you've been around here you've heard me talk about my problem with the pain meds at night, I started taking them in the evening ( the same time I did my best eating) long after I "needed" them.. I shocked myself because drugs or alcohol have never been a problem for me. It's like an addiction is waiting around every corner just waiting for me some days. I've been sick this last week and had bad allergies to top it off. I have always stayed away from Benadryl because I have a bad drugged type reaction and then it knocks me out. Well a few days ago I got so desperate I took one, worked awesome! I went back for more the next night. Last night I couldn't find them, my husband took them. He said I know you just want to knock yourself out.... Was he right? Maybe. We have additive personalities, and we are sneaky beings. So we are always looking for ways to fill that hole. My husband knew about the pain meds in the beginning because I told him. That's how he knew to take the Benadryl away and confront me on it. You need to do the same. Shine a light on the problem, talk to a close family member, friend, and counselor. And us of course,

Lol... now your messing with Fiddlemans biscuits?? Dang you get around!!

I don't think... Even if your on the outs with her, that its nice to call her an "it"...

I think when people hear the word "fast" they tend to flip out a bit.. 5:2 isn't a traditional fast, it just gives you longer rest between meals twice a week. Really if you want to talk to them about eating disorders. A sleevers diet can come scarily close to an all day snacking, grazing scenario... That's why I like taking a small break. Just to step back from a grazing mentality that I feel sometimes.

Ugh I'm afraid I'm terribly behind... I managed a sluggish 8 on Sunday (bike) and two this morning on the treadmil I need to look at my total and update. Edit; ok up to 35.7 miles Everyone is doing so awesome by the way!!

Lol who is she marrying Liberace?? The second one (Badgley Mischka) is Lesser of the three evils though

Alive yes! I made a new low this weekend to 155 back up today though to 156 (Could of had something to do with pulled pork and ice cream) So tomorrows fast should even things out again (I hope)

Glad to hear you are giving the 5:2 a second chance. I think I remember reading last week that you had tried it once before? And of course you can join! Just pm me after you do it for a couple of weeks or go directly to the group page and put on the request and one of us will approve it

Sorry to hear this ckunes, Unfortunately the evidence as to whether or not the sleeve makes gerd worse is mixed.. I looks like your surgeon believes in the worse scenario, as evidenced by the larger bougie. I tend to disagree with broken halo about the potential for a bigger (or better) weight loss and the differences in bougie sizes when they are in the standardly used ranges (32 though 40). But your bougie size is not that "standard" anymore.. Larger bougies (up to 60) are not being used so much anymore so I'm surprised he did this. Did your surgeon try and talk you into a different procedure, like bypass? Have you spoken to him about your concerns?

Hey guys, hope everyone's weekend went well.. And wishing a happy fast day to the Monday girls. Cheri how can she not like the ROTC? I swear it has changed my 17 year old daughters attitude for the better... I'm glad they tricked me into sighing the release forms
