I am so disappointed in myself. I was banded May 30 of 2005. I have not lost any weight in months. Not because my band is not working, it is because I am not working for my band. I dont exercise, eat right or anything else I am supposed to do. I have never even been to one of my support meetings throught the hospital I had my surgery! Well thats all going to change. As of the 1st, I am going to eat right and focus on me. Gonna start 2006 the RIGHT way. Thanks for listening to me vent.

That is the way to start the new year out...a new you..You have the wonderful tool and time to use it. So you go Girl..get busy..even if it's walking around the house or whatever you are on the right track!!!!

You can do it!!!!! Good Luck

Just keep up that good attitude and 2006 is going to be your year! You're way ahead of the game because you are seeing things for what they are. You are not blaming anyone or anything - you are taking responsibility for the whole kit-n-kboodle - insight is everything!

Best wishes and God's speed...

Patti

Go, Girl!!

Get R Done...

:]

I'm right there with you. I want to lose more weight this next year than I lost in 2005, that is my only goal!! We can do it!! Go 2006!

That is the good thing about the band, it is there waiting for you when you are ready to work with it. Good luck!

Hey Robyn..

My May-Dayze sista~~ Whats going on woman? I am so sorry that we lost touch...we were talking every day there for a while. I got wrapped up in my whirlwind of a life.......But Im getting back to normal now. Okay....you realized where your "problems" are when it comes to not loosing any weight. Dont beat your self up for the set back. We all have em, we all do it. ~~~~Get theee to a support group~~~~~ You got that kick ass attitude...NOW USE IT GURL!!! I will be checking in on you~

It seems like with the band you can have a start over any time. Congrats on making that decision.

AWWW see ya'll are wonderful! Thanks for the confidence and I will be letting ya know whats going on!

Robyn,

My fellow May bandster. You've lost 40 pounds and have been hanging out a that loss for a while. This is a huge accomplishment.

think of all that yu've learned

how to lose the weight with the band.

how to maintain the weight with the band

how to find the support and strength to pick yourself up and start anew

2006 is your year.

have a ball with it

love, debby

Go get a fill and start fresh! Cheers to you!

The first step is knowing and admitting where you know you have gone wrong. I commend you for your honesty. One thing that helped me to get back on track was to journal my food intake. There issomething to be said about seeing what you eat on paper..it really helped me to make better choices, I wrote down everything even those bites here and there that you do not think matter, trust me they do. Try journaling your food, also write down the degree of hunger and what your mood is when you eat for example are you hungry, sad, mad , just wanting to eat etc.. once you see a pattern you can make the needed changes. Hang in there and good luck and just know you are not alone, many of usstruggle..I struglle now that I no longer have my band, jopurnaling has become even more important to me now since I have no band.

Robyn, I would PAY for local support meetings. Now buck up, wash you face and get to those valuable meetings! Good luck for a better year
