Hello Judy,

I have been where you were at just three weeks ago. I felt just like just giving up, but decided to call my nutritionist first and talk with her. Then moved up my appointment for another fill which was last Thursday. I told myself why I wanted the band then made myself a promise to go back to the basics. So I started with stage three after my fill and tried to stay with it then moved onto stage four for the rest of the week. Now back to stage five again last night I told myself is it worth it eating that (of course my mind said yes) but I get so tired of trying and not following through. So tonight I will make sure I exercise - I have tried not too (not good) but this part of my life was a struggle to exercise. I set a small goal if I don't lose a pound in one week after my fill I will start exercising. I get on the scale tomorrow, but I have decided I want to lose 100 pounds within the next two years. So today looks like a good day! I weigh 274.6 pounds in high school weight 300 pounds now I am 44 years old. We can do this please just take a few moments to remember why you went down this journey and regroup. We have all made mistaken and have went back to old habits and just said whatever. Just forgive yourself and start afresh today! Today looks like a good day for Judy and I can start again - the craving and stress will come but you can do it Judy! I wish you the best please just start again today forget about yesterday.

I was denied last week too! I was depressed but I know it was the right thing! :thumbup: It's all good! Just a little stepping stone on the long journey <wink>
