Ok, I have realized my worst fear and I'm actually going to say it out loud! I have gotten to the point that I have gotten to in every diet. I hit 270-271 and I don't lose anymore! My greatest fear is that with this band I won't lose anymore, like before. I've lost 20 odd lbs, which makes me happy, but now I'm yo-yoing up and down. I'm hungry all the time. I drink, drink, drink. I haven't been perfect, but I now am going to go day by day, hour by hour if need be. I AM going to break this cycle. When I reach 268 you will see rockets in the air, there will be a CBS Special Report! You will hear an orgasmic scream from miles around:tt2::thumbup: I'm so sick and tired of letting the scale rule my life! I'm going to conquer! So struggles come and go, but you only have 1 body. I want to be proud to be seen with my husband and I want him to be proud of me too. I want my kids to not hide and say, "uh, yeah that's my mom". They don't, but..... you know what I mean. I want to go to the park with my kids and NOT just sit and watch, I want to play on the jungle gym with them.

My secret fantasy..... ok don't laugh...... I want to have sex with my husband standing up! Yup, I said it out loud! That is my goal in life. A worthy goal if you ask me! :wub:

You just stay positive and keep motivted, just kno that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength....you have to power, the strength, and the determination to do this so just keep up the good work!! I will be looking forward to that orgasmic scream and CBS special within the next few weeks!!

Girl i have that same secret goal and i know it can't be achieved at the whopping 285lbs i weigh. he told me the other night, as soon as you are small enough we will do that ! LOL - that is something worth working hard for. Keep your head up and try to stay strict to the plan.

Hi I'm going in for surgery in 2weeks. If you can, is there anything I should know afterwards. I read some of your blogs and you seem to be honest and knowing of the procedure. Keep going strong and those dreams will come true!! It will be well worth it.
