Boo Boo Kitty

And also with you.... :girl_hug: I skip the wafer and had a talk with my Pastor as to why, he is completely understanding! :girl_hug:

It is much easier to eat junk food with the band, however it doesn't make it good for you. It is bad for us! You should get rid of it in the house and try to limit yourself when out. It is really hurting yourself when when you do it. I do it sometimes and am very sorry for it later!

I am still miserable. I was acqused this week of sleeping around because I didn't want to have sex, after I told him that my cysts were in flare up and I was in alot of pain. I ended up giving in later...

LOL..you are not bad. I just don't do it more because I am a mommy and have to be sober, damn it! lol...

Of course I will show my girls my pics! I am hoping there will be one in there that I can use for the cover of the book! WHICH I am still trying to work on, ugh! lol... He won't go to counceling. I know what I want....

Ok, here is me take on this! I am a heavy social drinker a few times a year. Now I am sloshed after a few drinks, I am a martini girl. Any kind of martini! I also drink Guiness beer and other dark lagers. I no longer drink those, I haven't even tried since the band. It was about 4 months before I drank again with the band, and I did NOT do a good job of monitoring myself with it, be careful the first time, trust me! I was NOT a lightweight. Literally I could drink grown men under the table, now I am much more lady like! :girl_hug:

My kids were 5 & 7 when I had surgery last year. We debated on telling them, but did ultimately. They understand that I had surgery on my stomach that helps me to eat healthier. That is about it. They were thankful I told them and trusted them to try to understand, a year later they tell me about my band! Good luck! :girl_hug:

Hi Ninny I was banded last year, I can tell you we all go through this at one point or another. 30 pounds in 5 months isn't terrible, let me tell you! It averages out to what, 6 pounds a month?? That is what your Dr tells you is about target if he is anything like mine. The first thing you need to make sure is that you are getting enough protien, you can never ever loose without it. You have to eat enough (or drink) enough protien. You HAVE TO exercise, you have to whether you want to or not. Your body needs it to keep loosing. DO NOT drink with meals, it makes you hungrier faster. Get junk food out of hte house, this is my big problem! IF it is there we eat it, so just let it go away! Good luck! BTW, I in Jackosn, MI! :girl_hug:

I ditto these, only my movie is Gone with the Wind! And I miss him everyday, truly....

Brandi--glad you are back to the bike! I did 15 miles today on the stationary. It is so damn hard to get goign on it, but once I do I am happy. I have a hard time stopping then! :girl_hug: Va--good for you girl, enjoy it! And good luck on the job hunt, not that you need it you smart cookie! Claud--have fun without us! lol.. Sweet--do you need a chaperone on your trip? I am more than happy to sacrifice my time to help a friend! lol...enjoy the trip! Congrats on the NSV. Doesn't it feel great?? I hope the shin splints get better soon! Ugh, I remember those damn things, they are killer! Steph--get off the oreos...lol...step away from those evil thoughts and leave the dark side! :Banane42: I got my new corset today for the phot shoot, damn it is hard to breathe in that thing! lol...but I look damn good, the girls spill right over the top! On the homefront, I am trying, but I am miserable. :girl_hug: I hate it. I love him but it is just not the same. Can it be fixed?????

Amen....I needed this too!!

I agree you know what you need to do, so just do it. The one who needs to be kicking you in the ass is you. You can do this, you need to remember that! Why did you get the band???? Think of that and get back on the wagon! Pity parties do not work, so get to it! Good luck!

I platue quite a bit. I will sit at a weight for awhile and then drop alot very quickly. If you are at a platue somethings to think about are protien, make sure you are gettin enough or you will never loose. ALso check your calories even drinking ones. Everyone counts, and you can be surprised at the amount you consume that way. Also make sure youa re getting enough water.

I can eat basically anythiung but bread, pasta and rice. Otherwise I eat whatever I want!

OK I am more concerned with the fact that they deep fry oreos! lol...thsi truly truly concerns me. It is no wonder Americans are all fat! lol... Sorry Steph to pick apart yuor Oreos, but they sounds good in a bad way to me....lol...

This is kinda like boudior photos only in vintage attire basically. You have to find the right photographer,which has been tricky for me. AND no one be jelous, you will all be ready to do it soon! Thanks for all the support though! Hugs to all

Lynn I backed out almost the say of surgery, but now 1 year later it is the best thing I ever did! As with ANY surgery you will hear horror stories, trust me! Everyone knows "someone" who had this done and now is doing horrible. It is human nature to think and talk about the worst. But I am here to tell you that it can be done and you ARE WORTH it! Good luck, feel free to pm me if you have any questions!

Hey girl! Don't be so hard on yourself, you look great!

ROTFL....love it, truly love it! lol...

Zannie I am so sorry sweetie things are not going well, but everything happens for a reason. I think that it is obvious that he is a jerk since he is still talking to her. We are all here if you need us! It sounds to me, you are wokring hard to get your life back in order. DO NOT let him get you off track! Good luck!

OMG... I love Dita Von Teese's site. I spend lots of time there. Help me find another one! lol...You and your man are now commissioned to help me find a good one here. His fee is $75, 2 hour session and photos are dirt cheap. But I do want someone good as well!

I agree you tell someone how much you've lost and hear "You didn't look that big" Yeah thanks for that.....blah....

Ok, I want to do a pin up type photo shoot. Should I wait until I am at goal or now to help me break free from this fat girl mentality?? Am I ready for this?? Also, check out this photographer and tell me what you all think! IS he good enough?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmxphoto/sets/72157600158816447/

Hi Girls-- How are we all doing this weekend? I am doing much better now that the grandma in law will be gone!! WOO HOOO!! She was driving me freaking nuts!! Transformer--nice to have you back to the land of the living! I start back tommorow morning bright and early! SO I am jealous of you girl! lol... Claud--good luck to you girl! :confused: We are all praying for you! Ok girls, so I want your opinion. I have decided that I am going to do a Bettie Page photo shoot, I think I am ready! What do you all think of this photographer?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmxphoto/sets/72157600158816447/

I would do it again in a heartbeat. Is it worth shopping in the "normal" section? Is it worth getting checked out? Is it worth feeling sexy? Is it worth being healthy? Is it worth my kids no longer being embarassed? Is it worth fitting into a movie seat? I go could on and on, but is it worth it??? HELL YEAH! It has not always been easy, but I would never trade a minute for it to be fay again! Good luck!
