  13. I truly appreciate all the kind words and advice. One thing I am certain about is that I'm not going to give up. A support group is a fantastic idea. I get my fills literally a quarter of a mile from my home and they have a support group. I always find some excuse why I'm too busy to go. The support group is actually this week so I will make it a priority. Thanks again for all of your help!
  14. I'm desperate and need advice. I got my band over three years ago and am virtually the same weight. I had my band empty for about a year after becoming so resentful that I couldn't eat "normal." I just started getting fills again but I am falling back to old habits and eating things that are easy. I feel like food is an addiction that I can't overcome. This is affecting every aspect oft life. I'm scared I'm going to be unhealthy and miserable for the rest of my life. I just want to feel good about myself again. I just want to be happy. Is anyone out there having similar struggles? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
