You know you are a bandster when....

[kossde 6]

When you spend all morning staring at your Breakfast thinking, "in a few hours, I might be able to eat that."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When you give up on TV dinners (even the $1 kind) because they are just a waste of money.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When you go to visit family or friends and the host takes you shopping for the food just to, "make sure we pick something you can eat."<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When your family keeps commenting on how much smaller your butt has gotten and doesn’t seem to consider it rude.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

When your co-workers start calling you Gangsta because you spend all day holding your pants up (I was 4 sizes smaller and didn’t realize it until I went shopping for new clothes)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

When you shop for clothes that are just a bit too small so that they will last more than 2 months<o:p></o:p>

I'm hoping to be banded next month. PLEASE let someone tell me my butt is getting smaller. I won't think it's rude!

When you order Soup in a resturant dining with friends...and cant finish it. lol

[neverB4 2]

Luv the Soup one...happens to me all the time!

When friends and family know you have the band, but still ask.."is that all you're going to eat?" kills me every time!

I am a newbie and just started the process to be banded. For the last hour and half I laughed and cried knowing that 1) there are people out there just like me. 2) That some people can do this with laughter while struggling to keep sane.

Thank you all!!!

Laugh and the world laughs with you; smile and the world wonders what you are up to! Keep SMILING!!!!:biggrin:

Your Breakfast IS your morning medications!

Your snack is your vitamins!

You know when.....It takes you 30 mins to eat a 4oz cup of cottage cheese - while you husband has polished off 3 eggs, 4 bacon strips, 2 pcs of toast, orange juice and coffee!! Yeah....and he's the trim one.......How does that work exactly???!!!! 8-)

[Gracey 7]

Numbrgirl - when you figure that one out, PLEASE tell me! My brother and I have the same parents and he's very slender and I am very heavy. WTH!?!

[Numbrgirl 0]

I think the whole "metabolism" things in completely UNFAIR!!! 8-)

[Gracey 7]

I concur!!!

when someone makes a rude comment about fat people and before you can take offence to it, you say "fat people have feelings, too!"

...when 9 lbs in 6 weeks embarasses you, but your doctor is so excited he calls his nurses into the room to share the good news

[gone 4 ever 6]

:wink_smile: Thats funny Tyler!

[TOOSLOW 2]

When you prepare a meal that you really, really wanted to eat and after one bite it gets stuck and you can't eat any more. Damn!!!:mad:

[gone 4 ever 6]

When your grandchildren tell you how pretty you are.

When a Tic-Tac fills you up.:confused:

When you have to remind yourself you HAVE to eat instead of always wanting to eat.

You have now become a model because you are always posing for pictures
