Hi everyone in Band-land.

This is my very first blog but, I decided it may help me in my progress. I am a month and a half away from my 2nd bandiversary. I started at 311 pounds on december 18 2007. I am now sitting at an uncomfortable 242...under 70 pounds lost. So, this blog is called re-committing for a reason. When I was banded, I went about things in the wrong way. I ate around my band, I got sick, I drank high calorie drinks, and I didnt work out. Over the first 50 pounds literally fell off. But now, to get to my next mini goal of 211, I am going to have to work. There will be no more college drinking in excess for me. I have kept weight on with starbucks and booze, but no more. I know I didnt get this way with sticking to a weight-loss plan but I am committing myself to one TODAY. Today, I am going to workout. I will purchase only healthy groceries, and I will not give in to empty cravings. I know before I have had much success around the holidays so, I am hoping this will prove true again. I suggest everyone that has lost their way, and is a slow loser does the same.

 

These are the things I am committing to do...

Workout for over an hour four times a week

Write down EVERY calorie that I consume

EAT SLOWER (NO GETTING SICK)

Cut out high calorie drink

 

I will be calling my doctor for an appointment this week to see him about possible fills.

 

Please guys, any encouragement will help or advice!

Have a GREAT day

HEDDY

He Kansas Girl. I am from the great wheat state too! Where are you from? I know what you mean about re-committing. I have been off track for a very short time, but I am always worried about whether or not this will be the time I lose my way. I am just over a year out from my band.

Heddy, thank you for your post. Hearing about your struggle helps me feel more committed and is a reality check. I am still pre-op, but need to hear about the pitfalls. Congratulations on your new feeling of commitment! You sound like you are ready for your next weight loss journey! Good luck to you!
