Dear StrawartS's Body,

Congratulations! We've lost 20 lbs. since being banded. And I thought we couldn't do it - ha! Our weight now is some people's goal weight. We should be overjoyed, right?

But there's just one small problem...where exactly did these 20 lbs. come from? We haven't lost inches or sizes, and no one has noticed our weight loss except the damn scale.

I think I know the answer. I think this 20 lb. loss comes from the loss of our SOUL, due to the SOUL-SUCKING BITCH we call the LapBand. God forbid it give us ONE MOMENT of peace or one moment of distraction from thinking about it EVERY SECOND OF OUR LIVES.

On the other hand, since we haven't had any non-scale victories, I guess we have to be happy about actually losing weight. Body, keep up the good work...I guess.

Love,

StrawartS's Mind

P.S. I hear people talking about this "exercise" thing all the time. I'm pretty sure that driving over the speed limit doesn't actually count. So get off your lazy ass every once in a while, ok?

Girl you crack me up.

20lbs. is a lot to Celebrate. The inches will start to follow. Hang in there.

And going over the speed limit counts, if you are next to the car running.

Yeah on what you have lost. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

:)

Oh, and the weight went down the toilet, btw. :biggrin1:

Outstanding post!

It had a nice rhythm - excellent use of caps - a nice flow when read aloud - and I could dance to it.

I give it 4 stars!!

LOL Straw! Congrats on the weight loss! Now forgive yourself as the inches take time to catch up.

Anytime you want to try out DDR (the best form of exercise there IS!), lol, just give us a call! Oh wait, lol, you don't have our number do you!!! Mwahahahaha!! (j/k, send us a PM!)

Hey Mikey, do you want me to do a voice recording of my post so you can use it with DDR?

What a great idea!!

Here are the specs...

Recording # 1 - slow: formal British accent, 80 beats-per-minute

Recording # 2 - fast: your best Ryan Seacrest impression, 110 beats-per-minute

Recording # 3 - hyper: lungful of helium, 135 beats-per-minute

Recording # 4 - recovery: your best Larry The Cable Guy impression, 48 beats-per-minute

I'll put some nice instrumentation behind it - I think we have a hit on our hands!!!

OMG!!! ROFLMAO! Protein drinks don't LIKE to come out the nose!

Ok great post!!!!! LMAO!!!!
