If I want to be banded I have to quit smoking. My husband is going to quit too. I quit both times I got pregnant because I didn't want to harm my unborn baby, so I know I can do it. It's going to be hard, I'm not a heavy smoker, about 5 or 6 per day, but it's still smoking and it's going to be hard for a few days.

I don't ever stick to my resolutions, so I'm not thinking of it that way. I'm just going to make 2006 my get healthy year :) Once I get back to work I'm going to get my exercise routine going again and start eating better so that hopefully I can lose some weight while going through the approval process for banding.

I have 2:

1. I want to keep a neater house, that is hard with a 4 year old.

2. I will never abuse my body with food again, I am not saying that I won't have a cookie or dessert again, just that I won't make entire meal out of sugar or carbs.

Neater house, spend less money. We want a new house and we want to make a huge step up in terms of where we live and what we live in so we need to save save save. We're stuck on one income for the next four years while I finish my degree, sigh, I havent worked in 10 years as it is.

The diet and exercise are going to take care of themselves, I truly feel I am not the same person any more.

I dont make resolutions. I dont want to make any more promises to myself that I can't keep. Rather than call it a Resolution...I call it more of a Suggestion... My New Years Suggestions~~ And this year my suggestions are to become more organized. I am like a whirl wind of confusion most of the time. And to concentrate more on the things that make me happy or that will make me happier. I like to travel, so I think this year I am going to try and go to a few different places...and maybe some old places and see some friends. My son makes me happy so I would like to spend a lot more quality time with him....trips would be a perfect opportunity...And the Haunted House......I can concentrate more on making another awesome costume and contributing more to the haunted house.... Thats it...Nothing huge. Just really looking forward to a more simpler time thats all.....

Mine is more of a big "to do" than a resolution, but it will still take time and planning. I'm going to clean/organize all of my drawers and closets this year.

Instead of my usual "exercising more", I'm going to go to the gym a minimum of 2-3 days a week. That is a concrete goal, with no room for the interpretation of "more". Also, it is obtainable. I don't even have to tell you how important it is to actually be able to achieve the goals you set for yourself!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
