I have to disagree with you. All you have to do to get fat is eat more than you need, it can be done as easily on healthy food as unhealthy food. What a lot of people don't relaise though is how much their little treats add up, so although their diet is 90% healthy they forget that the cookies etc they eat in between all add up. Plus things like cheese are healthy but only in moderation. Then there are all the foods that we have been fooled into thinking they are healthy e.g low fat foods not realising that they are actually high calorie and full of sugar.
Being a short (153cm) person who is now at a healthy BMI I can see how easy it is to inadvertently eat too much and gain weight. My BMR is ridiculously low and the older and slimmer you get the lower your BMR gets. So effectively if you eat the same at 50 as you did at 30 you will gain weight. Sometimes all it takes is 1 extra cookie each day......................

You can still eat when you go out. The point of the band is to help you be satisfied with less. I haven't stopped going out to things that involve food - they are past of life

Mistress band doesn't have any problems with bloody rare rib eyes, she was complaining because I was eating left overs.

I didn't eat more than half of a fairly large bag of M & Ms yesterday !!!!!!

I know how you feel. The last time I took an Endone pill I felt like death. Nausea,dizzy etc etc. Hope you start feeling better now that you have worked that out.

Fingers crossed here

Yes you are only human, we all make mistakes. I have never been a binge eater so I don't understand the urges behind it, my issue is I am a grazer and I have to fight that all the time. The band does nothing to help. It did for the first couple of years but now the urge to snack is back in a big way.
I am sure that you will not repeat this mistake again soon and you will be fine.

Anything you eat standing up or off anyone elses plate also doesn't count. Those are well known dieting "facts"!

Wow, cannot believe waterfront property is so cheap. Property in Aus is incredibly expensive. Waterfront would cost a million dollars plus.

I've always been allergic to exercise. I get hot, sweaty, can't breath properly, sometimes it causes a rash...............

An apple, albeit a smaller one than I used to be. I think apples are the worst pick of the bunch.

I don't know what to say other than "sorry". What you are going through must be so hard.

I think that your Mum should just turn off Dr Oz. I beleieve he is a complete and utter quack and most of the stuff on his show is rubbish. I did watch about 5 minutes of the show that showed these supposed lapband patients and the couple of teaspoons of food that they eat daily. That is so false, that is not what a band is about and that is not how we eat.
