Hi,

Im new to all of this (second fill) and I never relized how much extra time i would have on my hands after I stopped over eatting. I dont know what to do with myself anymore. Sometimes I feel like a trapped animal. Last weeking I almost broke down in tears from boredom.

Im too overweight to do a lot of activities that I would like to do and I have discovered that almost 100% of my interaction with family and friends takes place over some sort of eatting event. What do you guys do to burn time? I have been to the zoo, but it was so hot that I was miserable. I've gone shopping way more than I can afford. Now what?

I live in San Antonio and I looked for a LAP-BAND® support group here in town but couldnt find one. I've even thought of trying to start one, but Im not sure how to go about it.

Hello, my family is a bit that way as well. I'm a good cook myself and also my sister likes to go out and have lunch but she is much slimmer than I. I read stuff on the computer in the meantime if the weather isn't too great. I clean the house, make phone calls, visit other websites - anything to help. Sometimes shopping for low priced stuff. count calories with calorie king - do research into calories and carbs of foods on calorie king and plan menus - it really helps me a lot.
