Thanks for sharing. I know my focus has been on eating, where are we going to eat, what are we going to take with us to eat on vacation, and just not depriving ME of FOOD! It isn't so much that I am hungry and if I would listen to the signs I' d know it; it is just more I enjoy partaking! I am still hopeful that I can move forward and get off the additional 50 pounds (what a feat it would be) (what an accomplishment) but now I know that accomplishment would be FOR ME, FOR MY wellbeing, FOR MY longevity, FOR MY ability to get off cholesterol and blood pressure medicines! I'm keeping the faith. Thanks.

Your have started my epipheny also. You have stated where I am and given me some inspiration. I am going tot ry to get my hands on some good reading and get back tos ome basics. It has been so long since I had it; not sure I have all the materials I need, but am on a seek and find mission to see what I should be doing, not how I can manipulate and wonder why not any more loss for me? thanks.

Liked your information you wrote. I had the lapband sometime ago and need to get focused again. I was morbidly obese (my 100# over) and lost initially great 48 pounds) Then figured out to manipulate the lapband. Any tips on how to handle the lapband again without me figuring I am deprived, deserve to eat whatever, and not losing any more is appreciate.
