Several months ago, I asked my OB-GYN about losing weight. She's never really been hard on me about it--even during my pregnancy (at 44), she was like, let's just get this baby delivered and then worry about it. Or words to that effect. But then she never did worry about it :smile: So I went from 189 at delivery up, and then down, and then up, lost a bunch with Atkins, tired WW a couple times, you know the whole story, doncha?

So, last few months of '05, I lost 30 or so and was feeling pretty good, then you know, I took the "holiday break," and then started reading [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Intuitive-Eating-Revolutionary-Program-Works/dp/0312321236/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222544024&sr=8-1]Intuitive Eating[/ame] wherein the authors gave me permission to eat.

Oh. They should not have done that. *sighs* Maybe if I finish the book, they'll explain how to stop that...but in the meantime, here I am at a variable 215-225 depending on the day, mood, event, etc. I was supposed to have taken weight off for my daughter's wedding HA! It is to laugh. :thumbup:

But I read all the things that go wrong, happen, you can't do, you wish you'd done, wished you hadn't done, etc., etc...and keep thinking, yah, *can* do this band thing...but do I seriously *want* to do it.

I have a kabillian questions...and my first consult on Tuesday. Let's see what happens.
