confess you lap band sin

[reneek 1]

I thought this would be a great thread i didn't see this posted anywhere. Everyone will have a bad day and sometimes you just have to get it off your chest. Sometimes you just can't confess to you husband, girlfriend, boyfriend ect. but you know us lapbanders will understand. Tell me your lap band sin for today did you eat something bad or did you lay on the couch all day did you 2500 calories. Get it off you chest and have a great day tommorrow. Here we go my sin was yesturday i eat a hugh Peanut Butter rivel ice cream cone and no it wasn't low fat, low calories or frozen yogert.:thumbdown: Your turn!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok mine will probably sound pretty silly...but I did have 1 chocolate chip cookie :thumbdown: I promised myself I wouldn't tempt myself or even try something so not right for my diet until at least a year out.

I also have a tendancy to mindlessly eat Edamame seeds and boy does my band wake me up when I do *ouch*

My sin for yesterday was for dinner I had chinese food. I had won ton Soup, an eggroll, a little bit of my dinner and ice cream for dessert.

Heck I will confess...I eat a mini ice cream sandwich at least twice a week! And I am still losing but am not dieting or suffering at the same time does that makes sense?

July 4th!! I cooked for 20 people and nibbled my way through the day and by dinner time, I wasn't hungry (thank God) but I'm sure I ate PLENTY of calories just nibbling.

Personally I think it's just food, not murder, not pedophilia, not stealing. I don't think of food as being a sin. I think that all ties in with the "fat people are lazy and dumb and have character flaws" mentality. it's just food. I'm past having to feel guilty if I eat a cookie. Because I have the lap band and my "relationship" with food is different. I don't count or weigh or fret. I'm just eating normally and I'm fine. My thin friends don't say "OH I SINNED yesterday". Don't mean to be pompous, but I think that for many of us, food is too darned important. This just adds to it. It's fuel. It's not a moral dilemma. Ok off my soap box and on to my first 16 oz of Water today.

All though I can say what you just said is 100% SO true but for me I guess I am still in that mode of always having to defend my obesity and this is how "I" deal with it so to say that is why I was so apt to join in and confess my sins! But one day just one day I hope to get the frame of mind you have restless, I am so serious you are a great "tool" yourself to many of us!!!! And it might take you being as stern as you are in this post many times more for "us" to understand or get it..I know for me it might take double but at the same time too am very grateful that you are around to pull us through or rather wake us up give us a swift kick LOL!!! Ok just wanted to say that!

My thin friends don't say "OH I SINNED yesterday". .

LOL - my thin friends are more crazed than i am in what they put in their mouth, how often they are at the gym, and their next appt w/their plastic surgeon...LOL:)

[RestlessMonkey 7]

rcruz, thanks. and luluc I'm not shocked you have crazed friends LOL :thumbdown:

Maybe being older I got a lot of that "character" junk from docs etc. It's only recently they realize obesity is a disease and not some failing within (like they used to think schizophreniza was caused by "cold" mothers. snort!)

ANYWAY...it's something I always try to speak out against, even when it's usually light-hearted (like this post) .... kind of like positive self-talk for everyone! :biggrin:

I have to admit in the beginning I thought you were just down right mean...LOL!! But after a while "knowing" you (here on the board) I found to realize if I sit here and read alot of your post it makes TOTAL sense and it even soaks in believe it or not! That is why I give you lots of kuddos LOL!!!

[RestlessMonkey 7]

You made me laugh! I am sorry I ever seemed mean! :thumbdown:

I think sometimes it's hard to get across in this format.

And, honestly, I can be mean, but usually only after someone is mean to me first! :biggrin: I am a tough love type I guess. But I want everyone who posts here to succeed! My dad used to call me "border collie" because that breed of dog is good at making everyone move along. I THINK he was being nice; you never really knew with my dad! :crying:

Crap I didn't mean to use the word "mean" I think you hit the nail on the head its' called "tough love" but coming from my point of view, that have had their heart broken time and time again that is all I knew is mean...That is great we have a "collie" type becasue I know I look forward to reading your post almost to the point I use it mostly for education purposes meaning no sugar coat no none of that anymore like that ole saying crap or get off the pot my MOM would say and she would say it now if she were here with me...

[RestlessMonkey 7]

LOL it's ok. I think I knew what you meant! Besides if I'm going to dish out "tough love" I have to be able to take it too, don't I?

Anyway thanks again for saying such nice things to me! :thumbdown:
