Oh my word amazing words!! And so true. I stopped telling people after some huge negativity!! I was weak.. Cheating.. all I need is willpower!! And a good gym! Ha if only my eating habits were that easily controlled!! I was looking into amphetamine based appetite suppressants (with the risk of all the major side effects) and I was like "Rachel what are you doing?!!"" I encountered one person yesterday ( I told my 3 closest friends here) I felt I had to as we eat out so much and knew they would be suspicious. 2 of my friends said how brave I was.. Very encouraging. The other one said not one single word & tried to change the subject!! I am still shocked & upset by this. We sleevers are brave and committed to giving up something we had a relationship with all our lives! We have made a decision to break an unhealthy habit which would eventually give us heart disease... Diabetes.. High blood pressure etc! How can this be the easy way out?!! It's not. I was also a daily consumer of alcohol (2 glasses every night!!) I am not missing this & I have never gone 4 weeks without! So I agree whole heartily that we are very very brave & it's not the cheats way out!!

Fingers crossed here

Aint it great to have belts that reach all the way around your left side and look goofy?

Amazing inspiring blog, I read a thread today about some person newly banded who wanted positive reads, I am quite a newbie myself and this is the best I have read joining, thank you so much, and may The Lord take you all the way, you truly deserve your success.

Thank you for the reminder! I needed that today!

Congrats!! You go on with your overweight self!

Yahoo! Congratulations! I cannot "weight" until I can say that I am overweight! Good for you!

Sorry to hear you had so many problems but then I am very happy you did something about it. You read that so many people don't call their doctors when something isn't right. Feel better.

First step is shaking off the guilt of living and remember why we started this journey one day at a time yesterday is gone that's why it's called the pasted and today is a chance to start again good luck

Hiccups are what's called a "soft stop". This means they are a signal from your band that you are approaching full and you need to put down your fork and walk away. If I ignore the message, it can get ugly...
