Oh I completely agree Miss Meliss about the eating I apparently was having way more fun then anyone should have. I just find it amazing how much we depend on food and how much I enjoyed the even planning part of it...I already had my meal planned out and eaten before it physically was. I loved to think about food, eat food and plan it...and now I find myself trying to just eat to get my calories...now not that there aren't times I have cravings but I am seeing a transformation of my attitude when it comes to it...and thinking it through with should I be eating it and will this get stuck. I am actually surprised it took me this long to get here I guess. I wish I could have severed the ties much earlier with food. Jadensmom I am so sorry for your difficult year. I am so proud of you that you did indeed to lose anything after a year like that....just think of what you will be able to lose when things settle down for you. Great job.

We just recently switched over to homegrown meats. We butchered our own steer and pig a month or so ago and can really tella difference as far as even the quality of the meat. That was one thing that I always hated was the additives that was put in our stuff. We even bought chickens to raise for their eggs....I am trying the whole natural approach in hopes that will help my family get back in shape and cure some of our ailments. Will let you know over time. We are going to be planting a garden as well...we hope. Boy I am glad we bought the 2 acres years back..who knew it would come in this handy...

I am down 53.4 lbs since June of 08----very very slow going, but am happy to say it is still inching down.... Wanting summer to get here so maybe that will help me kick start stuff and get out and do more. I am finally at a point that I am loving my band and releasing my hold on food. I don't sit and wonder what's next to eat. I kinda dread eating trying to figure out what I can and want to eat has become a pain in the A%#!!!!

Woo Hoo am down 48.4 lbs since June of 08. I know it's SLOW going, but it's going and that's the point. WOOOHOO. I can't wait until I can get to that 100lb loss mark. Great job fellow bandsters.
