Ok I am in the middle of a painful divorce at 26 years old! Anyway, I have turned to food as my friend again. After a big gain, I am back on the wagon. I am pretending I just got my band and am following all the "rules" and walking/running for 45 min a day and 12 situps and pushups. This will only be day 3 of the exercise but I have to start somewhere right?? Wish me luck....I need skinny vibes sent my way!!!

Sorry for your divorce...but I would think better at age 26 than after 26 years! :wink:

Hang in there; get another fill if you need to tweak it, and don't let this defeat you. good luck!

DIvorce is never, ever easy ... even if you find yourself at a place where it is the only choice open to you. It is complete upheaval in your daily life! You may be moved into a new place to live, you're living alone for the first time in a while, you don't have to think about anybody's needs but your own and you've given in to fast food, watching TV so that you don't have to think......every one of us who's been through a divorce knows where you are right now.

But you're back on track, working WITH your band instead of against it. It's okay to go where you've been mentally recently. It really is. Don't beat yourself up. It's a mourning process. But now it's time to move on.

Good luck

Healthy Vibes being sent your way - and tons of hugs - it will get better - maybe not today or tomorrow - but it will..

Keep up the good eating/exercise habits - it will help you feel in control of at least that much in your life...

Thoughts and prayers are with you hon. I agree with what parrot said. just remember we are here for you.

I'm sorry things are rough right now. At least you are focusing on something productive and using your energy to get back on the band wagon. Like it was said before you have a whole family here, and we are here to support you! Good luck and keep your head up!
