    dreamingsmall got a reaction from Mrs. Hayes in Regret   
    With all do respect. It's fine for you to regret it
    But telling others not to do it who could be one step away from a heart attack?

    Anyway
    Most people regret it at first. When your able to eat normal food about 6 weeks in and you start to see the results most of us stop regretting it.

    I haven't lost my ability to choose anything so speak for your self.im four months post and love eating and many people don't regret it.

    dreamingsmall got a reaction from logicwand in HALF WAY TO GOAL!! (4 months post )   
    I'm half way there. I didn't think I'd get there this fast as I'm a light weight and I was told by my team to expect to go at a snail's pace. I'm now down 58lbs. And I never thought it was possible
    ..
    I have 51lbs to go. Knowing I've lost more than I have to lose makes me believe I will get there one day. And I've said to myself there is no rush. Id like to be at my goal by 12-18 months but im aware the loss gets slower as you get closer.
    It's still surreal to think one day I may be in a 'normal' weight bracket.

    It's not been a smooth journey for my health not related to the sleeve. But I'm great full for the sleeve curing my high blood pressure and making me more confident. I didn't think I'd look much different between 244 and 186 but people already treat me differently like I'm in a new body.
    I am alot saggier than I imagined I'd be. My tummy my butt thighs and top of my arms but I don't mind so much.
    Just thought I'd share my experience.. I'm.one of the people that doubted it would work for.me. as nothing else did !
    It's odd to say that I'm in a stage were it's so much easier. I don't feel I'm dieting. It's not hard for me to follow my plan seeing my amazing results.. and it's never been easier. When I used to diet I'd starve and struggled. But I'm eating healthy and living my life.

    dreamingsmall got a reaction from Gundy in False scale readings?   
    Weigh once a week or even once every 2 weeks if you can stand the long weight. Much more satisfying. Much less stressfull. I know people who weigh everyday to get an average. But if gains will worry you don't put yourself through it. The gains balance themselves out and if you weigh less you may miss them. You may have just had a little Fluid on-board. Keep going I can't wait to get to 180s! Go girl!

    But bullying is always about difference in power. By definition. That doesn’t exist here on this board.

    And it’s almost always about a repeated pattern so when people call in about a single post that’s crying wolf to me.

    Why are we so quick to call “bully?” By it’s very definition it’s very difficult to bully on an internet board—
    “Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate or aggressively dominate others.
    The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict.
    Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations of such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability.”
    Is it because we are primed to see it because of our history?
    That is all.
