WOW! :wink2: That's exactly how I think! Was just talking about it in my blog the other day. When I look in the mirror, I still see the ugly fat girl. When I go clothes shopping, I still start off browsing in the 3X section because my mind keeps telling me that anything smaller won't fit. I haven't been able to allow myself to really see & appreciate how far I've come because in my mind, I'm still the fat girl that everyone points & laughs at. Hopefully someday my mind will catch up with the rest of me! :pray2:

I've always loved spicey foods. I've found though that when I eat, for instance, picante flavored pork rinds and as it sits in my pouch before going down it tends to irritate my stomach giving me a stomachache and a feeling of wanting to puke. I finally figured out (after a few times) that perhaps it's the spiciness that is causing the irritation. Everyone is different though ... just have to find what works (and doesn't work) for you! :pray2:

Breakfast ~ Coffee Lunch ~ 3oz italian meatballs & 1/2 C cottage cheese Snack ~ 1 C ground beef mixed w/ salsa (weird, I know ... just a craving I had ) Dinner ~ 2oz grilled chicken (w/ Ranch dip) & 1/4 C cottage cheese

Well I had 3 c-sections and so I have one of those unattractive hanging pouches ... it's getting flatter but still hangs. What bugs me more are my bat wings ... as far as body shape, I started off as a pear and now I seem to be an hourglass :smile:

Thank you ... Looks like you are doing well since your surgery, congrats!

1) I am just really nosey now... what is everybodies Marital status...??? Married to my high school sweetheart ... we have 4 boys, 3 living on earth, 1 living in heaven. 2) Does everyone live alone and cook for one?? Nope! 3) Who prepares family meals and who eats what they cook their family? I do the majority of the cooking and depending on what I make for them, sometimes I'll eat it too. 4) Or... do you prepare special meals just for your bandster self? I'd say 75% of the time I make something seperate for myself after cooking for everyone else. :cool:

I felt the same way. I was so ashamed to even go out in public, I avoided get-togethers with friends ... I really had let myself go. Here I am now 5+ months into this journey, and while I'm only halfway to my goal, I can tell you I feel SO MUCH better about myself and I don't hide from the world anymore. Getting banded was by far the best decision I've ever made ... Good luck to you!

My highest weight (that I know of) was 311.8 lbs back in February of last year ... I weighed in at 291.6 the morning before my surgery and since then I've lost 60+ lbs. I'm almost halfway to my goal!:whoo: I set my goal at 160 although I'd really like to try to get down to 135. I've been overweight for so long though, I think anything under 200 would make me happy

I do the same thing! Back then I was maybe a size 11/12 but looked HUGE next to my size 6 friends. One guy used to call me "thunder thighs" and man, that hurt but looking back now I would totally KILL for those thighs again

Yummm! That sounds good Trystelle! Will definitely try it ... after many months of wanting one, I finally ordered a Magic Bullet last night! :whoo:
