    i'm so sorry for your lost and my prayers are with you and your family.

    me on the other hand did find comfort in food lately but, i have to stop that now. and as i said before im trying to find my way home. didn't know it was so easy to fall off the wagon. and so hard to get to get back on track. but, i have to do it.

    today 11/30

    junk das all:frown::confused:

    Good Day Everyone,

    I've been out of sorts. I too have lost some one this month. My Grandmother past way couple of weeks ago, she was 93, life was good to her but it's taken more out of me then I thought it would.

    I've been doing my best to keep my food under control but after being with my mom for the past few weeks I’ve found that she loves to eat bread and fried food in just about all of her meals.

    I told her that if we eat out together and share (like we usually do since I don't eat a lot anymore) that there needs to be more Protein and non-fried things.

    She understands and has been working w/me on it.

    I had another fill at the beginning of the month so I'm still getting used to it.

    I used to read some of your posts and couldn't understand why you were eating such little portions. Now I understand with my new fill, I really understand.

    I'm trying hard to listen to my body again on when I'm comfortably full and not taking that last bit just because it’s still on the plate.

    I will try in the next few weeks to start posting again. I need to post, I need to share, I need all of you!

    hey everybody:frown:

    well when it rains it pours my old mans brother passed away and my dude is taking it really hard. im trying to be strong an be there for him but, its hard. i feel so sorry for him. his funeral is wednesday that is gonna be really hard. when we got to the brothers house the corner was bringing him out i was not prepared to see that nor was mark. i just dont know how to help him as i have never lost my sibling. but, im trying to support him.

    Hello Ladies.....boy have I missed you guys. Things are about the same with my mom and mother in law just trying to make them as comfortable as I can. Its so very sad...but I will be there for them until the end. Its been a struggle to get the scale to move downward and stay down. One day its down the next its up. I go for a fill the first week of December I hope that helps. I woul like to get to my goal by February but if I dont no big deal. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and lets stick together and stay on track. Love You guys and miss chatting.

    i agree:biggrin:

    China-

    I have been in a stress mood so I KNOW about junk food..on one of the boards, I wrote how I ate candy bars and did not even know it was there...son left out.

    WHat I have done..for my husband and is make fresh hot chocolate from scratch. First it is chocolate and the warmth has allowed his sweet tooth to be ok.I wind up sipping some and it DOES work.

    REMEMBER,...junk food has junk in it (chemicals) to make you eat more junk...........whomever thinks I am nuts ... remember the cigarette companies that swore in court (under oath) that they did NOT add a chemical to make folks smoke!!!!!

    REMEMBER....if it has more than 5 ingrediants in it,,,junk...and if you can not pronounce it :thumbup::lol:

    Junk is Junk

    Eating is Fun

    Down a size

    Satisfaction

    which is

    PRICEless

    Hi china! It’s so nice to see you. J Yes, get back on track girlie.

    Just a quickie post today. I’ve kinda gone another route than the simply filling plan. I’ve found that I’m really able to eat too much so I’ve been working on shrinking my pouch.

    I’m doing all liquids during the day and a small sensible dinner at night. A snack is always a part of that package! It really helps to keep me from straying too much. I can tell you all of my Snacks have been healthy and a part of the WW plan, like 94%FF popcorn or those tasty little WW frozen desserts. Those are so blasted good!

    Okay I found a picture of me at my heaviest. I hated taking pictures back then. I’ve already posted it several times in other areas here, so I’m just going to post the link to the one in my photo album here at LBT.

    I still can’t believe this was really me.

    hang in there hun there is only up we can go. i have been reading alot of books and plan to sit down and make out a menu for the wk so we will see how it goes. and get a fill

    I feel the same way china. This week has been so exhausting. I have been still getting up early and going for a long walk. Yesterday after all that, took one daughter to dr. and other to library and then some shopping. Today I drove. Tomorrow I am back in office and Sat. I am working. I just can't seem to keep the scale to keep moving down. I get it down and bounce it back up again. Have a great day, Laurel

    congrads rain im so happy for you.

    I guess I will join the group. Im just found out Im pregnant on Friday the 13th. We have been trying for @ 6months so Im pretty excited. I was banded in June 2008 and am down @ 80 lbs. I dont want to gain to much weight and hope that I can keep my fill in for the duration. Im also on progesterone suppositries due to a previous miscarriage before the band. My est due date is July 19th, my 35th birthday. Although Im sure it will be moved because I didnt ovulate until much later in my cycle.

    Good luck to everyone!

    hey everyone, sweetfusion hope you feel better.

    ms diva what girl how you doing:biggrin: well thank you so much for the kind words and i must say you are so right i gotta not be so hard on myself as i have come way to far to go back. i wont go back rite now im still fighting to get back on track seems like im looking for the right time when in fact there is no right time, right now is the time. so i gotta stop talking about it and get my ass in gear and just do it. ya one thing is for sure i gotta get back posting it helps alot i c that now. so on that note thanks diva that pep talk really helped.

    and im so glad my words touched you to. im gonna post what i eat tomorrow for sure even if its bad. i can do it im going to do it. just gotta take it one day at a time and not rush it. well everyone keep up the good work.

    China doll, hey girl! Thank you soooo much! You keep me focused on the right things. I can easily get sidetracked with always feeling down on myself.

    Why can’t I just focus on the positives? I mean for goodness sake I’ve lost half my excess weight so far. I did gain some back but at least I stopped it before it got too out of control. That is something I have never been able to do in the past. I would just keep gaining and gaining to the point where I’d be the heaviest I’d ever been.

    So I gained 20 back. So what? I’d lost over 100 POUNDS!!! I still need to lose maybe 80-100 more (that is with the weight gain) I can do this. I just have to keep tweaking a few things until I can get it straight and the scale will start playing along.

    Yes, it is true my clothes have been feeling different. I can’t explain why the scale doesn’t show it, but something right is going on. I’m positive with this new tweaking of the WW system I will be able to finish it off.

    China, one thing though, you have to cut yourself a little slack too. Don’t let too much get into the way of becoming a better healthier you! You have come a long way too, and I believe 100% that you can be successfully complete as well! Hang in there!!

    Sweet, hang in there! I’m glad you are getting things situated to get back to normal.

    I also had a primer of 3cc in my 10cc band. Funny thing is, I also didn’t know about it! I’d always thought I’d had about 5-6 total cc in my band after all my fills. Turns out I was close to max!! No wonder I couldn’t keep anything down!! Crazy huh? I now am at about 6.5-7cc. I am super close to being comfortable enough. I think I am going to need another small fill though. I’ll wait til after the Thanksgiving Holiday. I just got one and it’s best to wait a few weeks to see how this fill really fares.

    Just keep in mind it’s not good to be too tight. You should still be able to eat solid food. It’s the solid food that keeps us satisfied for longer periods, and offers us the best nutrition for our bodies.

    Best of wishes everyone! Check in if you haven’t in awhile! All are welcome here J
