I LOVE MY BAND!!!

It's been awhile since I've posted; life has just been crazy busy. You know how it goes.....

I'm watching the weight come off and that is just the most thrilling experience. I broke the 160 mark this morning and I just want to shout to the world and show everyone my happy dance!

Did I tell you that I love my band? I no longer binge eat, I don't eat large amounts of food at every sitting, food is not on my mind all the time anymore. Sodas are a things of the past. I now eat like a thin person. I don't have to completely deny myself of all things wonderful in food, but I surely do have the easy ability to control my food impulses.

Losing weight just does an amazing thing to your ego. I'm feeling confident and sexy again and I still have a way to go before I hit goal. I can easily see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't feel like I'm about to sabotage myself; I'm going to get there!

If you're on the fence about getting the band, I know, it's scary. My wish for you is peace in your decision-making. It may not be the answer for everyone; I don't know. But I'm just telling the world right now that it was truly a Godsend for me.

Anyone else just feeling fantastic this morning?

:clap2:YEA!! As the old song says 'I FEEL GOOD!" :whoo: I'm down almost 160 in 16 month and have a whole new outlook on life. :clap2:

You have had fantastic results, Gayle! You should be soooo proud and I bet you do feel awesome!

Good for you!

Also, I notice you (by your < 30 BMI) that you are no longer "obese". I am close to that myself. I think that will be the best milestone yet!

I love posts like yours!

I am happy and I know it.

Some days I think losing weight releases 'happy hormones'.

:whoo:

First let me congratulate you and be happy for you as well!

Am I happy today??? Hell yeah. Looked in the mirror today and saw a skinny girl smiling at me, hey wait it was me! Anyday bad, skinny is better than a good day fat....lol....

I love my band. I haven't been a size 18 in 16 years.

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

I went into surgery thinking I was substituting pain for willpower. Eat right, or suffer the consequences! :eek:

Instead, I got the Cracker Jack prize: no more interest in food!

Who knew?!?!?!

I LOVE MY BAND MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPLAIN :whoo:

I'm glad to hear you are all feeling so great!

Just hit my mini-goal of 175 for my California trip in 2 weeks. I am STOKED! I've just bought a bunch of new clothes, had my hair done, my nails are all grown out and polished beautifully. I think one of the biggest kicks I get is when I see someone I haven't seen for over 5 months and I watch their jaw drop. My whole DAY can revolve around that look!!!! And you know what else? It just goes to show that everything is RELATIVE. Thirty years ago I would have been APPALLED if I was sitting at 175....I would have been in the depths of depair and probably crawl under a ROCK somewhere! I actually stand in front of the mirror NAKED now! And literally for the first time in my LIFE I'm going "NOT BAD OLD GIRL!!!" How you feel about yourself is 100% how you feel about life. People tell me I am BUBBLEY!!! Happy camper doesn't BEGIN to describe my attitude!!!!

My wife and I both love the band so far. She will be 2 weeks on Wed. and I will be one. Sure adjustments have been hard but most of them are, but that what makes this great. Will keep you posted.

I am a very........HAPPY....camper. I love my band and the way i feel. I look a little better every day.There is just no fun in being fat. It is a lot of work to drag it all around and i will gladly leave it behind!!! Donna
