Indio, Man oh man am I having a hard time with this weight loss. I was banded in November last year and am down only 50 + pounds. I have been trying to lose 10 pounds a month and it was going good for a while but now I have seemed to plateau. I had a fill back in May and have felt great restriction but here I am, not losing. I started at 316 pounds and today I weighed myself and was 262. I'm 26 years old and 5'4" this shouldn't be this hard... I admit that exercise has turned into a weekly thing instead of daily and I contribute that to many meaningless excuses. Why can't I seem to get out of my old pattern of eating and not exercising? Gosh, I am so discouraged. I know that it is my fault and that I rely too much on the band to stop me from eating. I read what you wrote about doing anything in excess is a sin and that really hit me. You're right. I am working so hard in building my relationship with God and for me to be doing these things... He must be so dissapointed in me. I need to rely on Him and know that He has a better plan for me than this overweight and over uncomfortable life I live. Thank you very much for all that you have shared on here. You are truly an inspiration! Heather
