:confused:Wow blah days sux don't they. I think the problem is before I could of changed a blah day with a lovely pig out of toast and butter or bacon sandwiches and now my old friends have the building so to speak I am on my own. What to replace these friends of food with??? Don't think I haven't got real friends, I have its just sometimes the food friend was the better one and I s'pose the friendships are changing now as we are not getting together to have a binge. The house is clean and tidy the dogs are walked and the chooks are fed..... so what to do now.....???? I can bake now because I don't live with the cake calling me and saying eat me, eat me until its all gone. But geez this blah thing is yuk..:thumbup: Right I am going to go and jump up and down for a minute and turn the music up and run around and shake this mood:w00t: If that doesn't work I'll make some pies for the lunch box'es and do the damm ironing. This blog has just been a whinge but I feel better for it:redface: Cheers Chooky

I hand my first fill 4 week 's post and only began to feel hungry towards week 4. Do you thnk you are confusing your mental hunger with physical hunger cos that is a big battle to fight. Al so there was no way i could eat like i did before it just wouldn't go down and if it did i reckon it would of come straight back. good luck with it Cheers Chooky

Hi Tracey, in australia you can get medicare to cover it (like nhs) but the waiting list, the obstacles and the all the other crap is inbelievable. I had mine done privatley and have not looked back. I thought about the money because it is a lot, but i would of spent that anyway on crap food and hair brained diets, Over the years i could of paid for it 3 or 4 times. good luck Chooky

Just get out there and do all the things you want to do. I found after surgery my mind set changed totally. I am still big but now do things i would never have done before. Its hard to explain, but its because i am on my way now i am not waiting for the day i am thin. Its onits way so now I just get in and do the fun stuff. Cheers chooky

You go girl. Take the stand and don't look back. Cheers chooky

4 pm jitters, have the shake at about 3.30 to avoid it. Your body is going through a detox too, so be prepared for the ggrrr. Just keep on going because it pass'es Cheers Chooky

Hey Billy, the start is the beginning! Your story reads the same as mine and now I think of the time I wasted on all those madcap diets. My husband has been with me every step of the way and that support is great. good luck 2 you on your journey and maybe c u in the chat room here. The chairs are the greatest. Cheers Chooky

Happy now cause I managed to get into the chatroom and have a laugh with everyone, it's nice at the end of the day to do that. Still school holidays and they are beginning to turn a little ferral here and need to get back to the class rooms. I think we are just running out of stuff to do and we are all getting sick of the sight of eachother at the moment. It's pouring down so they have gone off to make a tent in number 1s bedroom, i fear for the linen cupboard. ( OMG that mean's I will have to refer to my girl as number 2)( not good).:thumbup: I seem to have lost interest in food. Who would believe that!!!!:thumbup: I think it's like.... I can't have lots of toast and butter and honey for breakkie so why bother at all...:blushing: this is just another phase I hope and it will pass as the others have. Must be just a bit blah today, must of stayed up 2 late in chatroom:lol: Cheers Chooky

Athought came to me this morning:blink: When this generation end up in retirement homes will the population mainly be covered in tattoo's , piercings and have some sort of WLS been done on them? By then maybe all the mushie food won't matter so much anymore but it just made me think what is the world comming too/ Which then made me think , now I'm turning into my mother, who by the way is turning into her mother a little more eachday. So I wonder if I will end up a skinny old lady with a belly button ring and a couple of tattoo's and a lapband living out my day's in whisering pines home or some such, eating mush and disgracing the grandkids. HOPEFULLY:thumbup: But at least I will be skinny!!!! The day is still young here, so who know's what it will bring, hopefully a few laughs and definatly a few more coffee's and a walk with the dog's and kids. Hope everyone has a great day Cheers Chooky:w00t:

It's my Dad in shock not me.... The oldies came for lunch today and we were having homemade savory pasties and strawberry piklets with cream cheese and honey, all the healthy low fat versions but none of which I could eat or felt like eating today. Dad keeps saying but one wont hurt. He just has not grasped the concept of what I've done and why would anyone do that 2 themselves:confused: when I said I haven't eaten any bread or pastry or steak or... any of his daily stples I thought The shock nearly killed him:eek:. The father inlaw said, " Well when you lose the weight you can get taken off and properly again"????????????????????????? I have tried to explain but realisse that these 2 old dogs aren't up to learning any new tricks at this stage. I spose these 2 represent a growing number in my immediate circle who can't comprehend the sacrifices I am willing to make because now I can really see the bigger picture. & it's not my bum in a photo again. Between them they have decided Christmas day will not be worth living if they have to have it at my house because there will be no food, All this said as they chow down on the pasties and piklets while I have a shake.... These two are nuts:w00t: Still at least that means someone else can shop, clean and cook all day instead of me. Other than that have had a great day and their reactions have made me laugh:lol: ONLY ! WEEK OF HOLIDAYS 2GO Cheers Chooky

Never declare pj day until it is over.... Cursed the day I think and we ended up gardening and making pencil holder's and goingto a strwberry farm . So next time I will wait till it's over before this fat lady sings. Can the weeding count as 2days exercise? because really thats been it today, I did fill about 6 wheel barrows to the top, so maybe..... now I'm thinking food:drool: and what to have for tea, the others have got a chow meiny thingy but it's to dry for me, but I reckon I could just about get in the wok and roll around in it. I'll make a nice coffee to get over this (Ihope) and have some soup later. mmm:thumbdown: Right no more pj day's!!!!!!! Cheers everyone Chooky
