I kept waiting for the dumb phone to ring like in "Ring 1". That one didn't scare me too bad so I thought "Why Not?" Home alone and watching scarey movies. like I said; STUPID ME, STUPID ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh God, Where is my family when I need them?

Night all, I will try again!! Talk to you tomorrow if I make it through the night! LOL :) :) :) :) ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hey did you watch it on DVD? See if they have a "making of" section on the DVD. I say this because I watched "The Grudge" and was freaked out of my mind but when I watched the bit about how they did the effects, for some reason, it took all the scare out of it. Just a thought.

I LOVE scary movies but man they put me over the edge too!!

And I'm not sleeping either. I'm too depressed and ate WAY too much today. Sad.

GYTM-- How come you're depressed? The eating...tomorrow (or today) is another day... a major cliche, but hey, sometimes they help.

Let me tell you something really scary... I was watching TV this past week, and I kid you not, I saw a good friend of mine from home (I moved away a few years ago) on a show... Of all the shows, it was The Biggest Loser. Ahhhhh.

Now isn't that scary? hehe

GYTM-- How come you're depressed?

Oh clevergrrly, how sweet of you to ask! I'm going to be okay....This has been something of a rough year for me. My dad passed end of February and I was just coming through that only to find out last weekend my best friend from high school passed from cancer (she's my age and leaves a young daughter). Add to that I'm suffering really bad double vision (doctors don't know why) and some work troubles and it's all a recipe for sadness and lack of sleep.

(sorry you asked now? lol!)

The eating...tomorrow (or today) is another day... a major cliche, but hey, sometimes they help.

Of course you are right but it was dumb.....and as I was eating I'm saying to myself "you aren't hungry, you are sad and lonely.....don't eat! This isn't what you really want" meanwhile I was eating away. Made my tummy hurt which isn't good so then I got depressed about doing damage to my band.

Just a cruddy mood all around I guess!! But thanks, you are right...today is a whole new day. The slate is wiped clean.

Let me tell you something really scary... I was watching TV this past week, and I kid you not, I saw a good friend of mine from home (I moved away a few years ago) on a show... Of all the shows, it was The Biggest Loser. Ahhhhh.

YIKES!! That is pretty scary!! I do love that show tho. I can't explain why, I just do. I hate the trainers though, esp the female, Jillian. She's not a very nice person. Did you see that one guy actually tore his quad, she was pushing him so hard. Yeeks!

Here's hoping your friend does well in the competition!!

GYTM,

I know how you feel with the downs of life; it's unfortunate it has to happen, but this to will pass. Do you have anyone you can talk with face to face? You are going through a lot, and there's no shame in going to a neutral person, like a counselor, to get some of the troubles off your shoulders. Of course, we here on LBT are behind you. :)

I'm going to continue watching The Biggest Loser too, but only because my friend is on there. She's been trying to lose the weight off and on for a long time. I keep telling her she's doing great, because seriously, she lost over 100 lbs on her own... now she's going for more, which is great, but I feel that show is very unrealistic in it's methods (if we all had 2-5 hours of our day to spend excercising, well, if we actually did it... wouldn't we be a lot thinner too?)... And yes, that Jillian lady is a b... you know the rest.

I was thinking of starting a thread about this show, to see what people think, how they feel about it... What do you think?

Hope you're doing better... Hang in there my friend!

Ok this is weird. I watched the Ring Two last night TOO. I just wanted it to be over! I wanted to poke my self in the eye! It was the most BORING movie I EVER saw in my LIFE!!! I know we are all different when it comes to movies and Im not bashin ya...but for my tastes...way too slow....not enough gore...what the hell was up with all the deer? I understood because of the one scene...but COMMON~ IMHO ~ it could have been a lot better~ I HAVE TO see the Exocist of Emily Rose. I am gonna take myself this week I think...yes, that is a good plan,,,while the husband is at work, and my son is in school, I will take myself to the movies...ehehehehehe

Okay...have a good day all!

Note to self: Don't see The Ring II. I saw the first one and obsessed about it for weeks. Have ya'll seen "The Grudge"? It was creepy as hayull.

Today I watched "The Brown Bunny"....yeah, I'll admit I wanted to see it solely because I heard that there was some on screen very naughty stuff, and there was. Weird movie tho.

I know how you feel with the downs of life; it's unfortunate it has to happen, but this to will pass. Do you have anyone you can talk with face to face?

Thank you a lot for being concerned. It really matters to know I have people who care. Yes, I have a counselor and she's great. Mostly the answer is that with grief, you just have to go through it. I was finally on an upswing after my dad's passing and now this is dragging me back into it.

I'm going to be back home in New Mexico in a week and a half and I plan to get together with my friend's parents. It will be hard but healing I think.

I'm going to continue watching The Biggest Loser too, but only because my friend is on there.

I was thinking of starting a thread about this show, to see what people think, how they feel about it... What do you think?

I think you should!! I'm strangely obsessed by that show! I'd love to have a discussion thread.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
