One thing I do know is this, you seem to do the right things. I take from your posts that you are a very effective communicator, I think a lot of people would have tried to "fix" the issue you are having instead of talking it out. I hope he recognizes and appreciates this strength of yours.

Thanks JC, I really do try to commicate the best I can, probably much to the dismay of the men I date. lol. If I've learned nothing else I've learned that you cannot change anyone. All I can do is tell them what's going on with me, and give them the opportunity to choose to do something about it. If there's a problem and they choose to do nothing towards fixing it, well then goodbye. I'm too old to play games with relationships. And it would be nice to find someone who truly did appreciate me...for anything! lol.

Good Morning everyone. I started my Monday with the longest distance yet using the Kangoo jump boots. I made it a mile in those things they are just too cool. They are a bit noisy so I had a few barking dogs out there, but luckily they were all inside fences.

1 week and 2 days away from surgery.

Chrispy, they probably are wondering. My biggest concern is I may be recognized by some of the good ol boys and get kicked out of town! LOL

So, I'm back in NYC... trying this long-distance thing... but its just weird right now- we are gonna see each other on sept 15th so its not too long gone, but still... if this gets too emotionally draining, I'm gonna have to find someone local!

JC - went online and looked at the kangoos. How in the world do you run in those? I bet people take second looks when you 'hop' by. :)

Yes Leona, I am probably having too much fun! LOL

I never thought my idea of fun would have anything to do with running!

Marcar, They are suprisingly easy, It actually takes about three four minutes to be ready to rock on with those bad boys and they are so much nicer on the joints! There are even Kangoorobics classes out there.

Denise I didn't call today. I will try to fnd out tomorrow. Are you back at home?

Is it pathetic when a guy puts a video game before you? Honestly..I'm a gamer...so I understand that games can consume you. But I always know what my priorities are in life..and a game is not gonna be a priority over someone I'm interested in. This was a problem before with this guy..and i thought he changed..since he kept on saying he did. What a waste of time..again..lol

Dibaby, there is an old saying that goes something like: just because a leopard hides his spots it doesn't make him any less of a leopard.

I lost a great friend to online gaming. When I try to visit he wants me to logon to a spare computer in order to chat with him. IN THE SAME ROOM!!!!

JC, Yea, I am back. Back to work, back the the cold summer.......But I guess the best part of it is that when it was 115 outside, all I thought about was

ice cream!

I am back to trying really hard with my band. I get a fill next week. I managed to break my big long plateau by putting myself back on the

liquid diet. I actually ate properly today and I better not show a gain

or I will be on P.O.ed bandster.

Denise, I had fallen into the trap of weighing myself every morning. I have almost killed my self with exercise because of the roller coaster I am on. The weight has gone up a little but the clothes are looser and I am feeling more bones and seeing more veins. I almost feel like I am mistaking loose skin for fat. lol

I have been telling myself that for such a long time. I wish

I really could be happy without a man in my life, but the

reality of it is, I still hold out hope for a fulfilling relationship.

BTW, where do you live in Chicago. I grew up there.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
