    Progression Has Began

    Great News!!! Progression has taken place; not in the sense of the scale losing its mind and numbers reducing like haywire; no, not at all. But, progression in my sense of consciousness; I recognized how tired I was, and finally one day as I was going through my closet-- there it was, and then it reminded me of a deficiency that I had that needed treatment in order my body to get the rest it. If I used it then I would have the energy to put exercise efforts to practice. It was my C-Pap machine. Needless to say, for the past three nights the morning greets me in a different state of being. I am more rested, seems as though I can breathe better, and I started stretching my muscles. There was pain and pleasure at the same time. Felt as though I was escaping from prison, and I was. So this newness gave me the energy to be creative with what I have around the house to use to work my muscles. I filled up 3 to 4 gallon jugs of water, I used the broom handle as a level to balance the handles of the water jugs and I really enjoyed myself in increments of workout. I have a lot to look forward to. I will keep you posted.

    Heart Broken

    Kime... you and I are a like. I have had every emotions you are speaking of and those you are not revealing. But wonderful things can happen. I am 50 years old and I have a 5 year old son. You see, when my son was born, the following month I turned 45. So becoming pregnant at 44 is a miracle and it let us know that God do not forget his promises.

    Wall Flower

    You and I are very similar. But never be discourage because everybody's interest is just differant. You shine best when being yourself. I would like to share this poetry with you that I wrote; it was comfort I received from God. Let the world see you inside and out Hide not your beauty any longer you are as beautiful outwardly as within It is the beholder who must see And if eyes are blind Its not your fault

    How I got money for a new wardrobe

    Smart lady.
  5. Being into the 5th day of a new month, my energy level is still lagging behind my determination, but there have been some changes. With intent, purpose, and consciousness I choose to remember the basics, because they are the foundation which to build on. Eat much slowly (enjoy the food away from the computer and television) Green Tea beverages throughout the day (it seems to control my food cravings) Portion sized smaller (protein first) Eat more frequently (2 to 3 hours apart) Change happens with intention…. Stagnation occurs because Change never took place. Off I go...

    Why Does Weight Loss Surgery Fail?

    Lovely, lovely post. It is my first read of you, but certainly not my last. It's much appreciated.
  7. Well, I'm open for business. "What business" you ask. “The business of shedding excessive pounds. Let’s see how I do. Over the past couple of years, I have learned about my strengths and weaknesses, and I found that it was hard for me to achieve the necessary balance. In my quest to achieve success, I listened and tuned in to too many self-made experts which had many contradicting opinions. The fact is that each person in their own skin achieves their goals. But I am not in their skin, so I need to find the balance for me. I’ve decided set aside all of their antidotes for now, and get back to the basic. I will just take things slow and pace myself according to my abilities. Which mean I won't get caught up in the hype to get thin; when it all said and done, I just want to feel good about myself. The journey is mine to make, the work is mine to do, and the victory can only be earned by me. I am getting older now, and I don't have the luxury of yo-yoing, stopping, quitting and restarting. This change must be permanent, for life. Not to get small, but to stay healthy and live better. I plan to keep this post up and running, I plan to stay motivated.

    I wish 6m would fly by!

    The steps prior to being banded is very important. During this time you are learning better habits, getting use to exercising, getting control of your cravings, and learning to eat slower. Because if you don't, those old habits can follow you after your band and become a problem to your dreams of becoming lean, thinn, and fit. Your patience will reward you.

    Hello fellow bandsters!

    Thank you so much for your honesty. You've given me the courage to admit my shortcomings by failing to maintain what it takes to be successful with the band. Perhaps by starting to get involved in these posts I will find my motivation and inspiration once again.
