Just something to think about.

You are so right about the worth of a pound. That makes it more significant when we lose one. Or gain one for that matter. Can't wait to lose another one. Thank you for the perspective of all our work. Keep at it everyone ! Blessing Dolly -

Project Disney commented on vmack2001's blog entry in Blog 75595
Bless your heart. I hear your pain and hopelessness and I am so sorry. There is some very good advice from the previous members above. They are caring people. I have found this site is full of people who want the best for others and reach out to help. I have looked at it as God reaching out to give hope and answers when we haven't any. He meets our needs in the most remarkable ways. My prayer support will be with you as I know are others. Blessings Dolly -
Change is Enevitable, except from Vending Machines

That is the magic of the lap band process.and this site. It brings about change when we allow it to work for us. It has been one whole week of renewed determination to allow the band and site to work with me. And the Changes that have occured are remarkable. No, I don't have a weight loss number to give you. Tho I know that will come. What has changed are things more of the heart, head and spirit. Reading and responding to many members on this site has been life changing. You have deepend my resolve. Many of you have already experienced the physical change and that is exciting and encouraging to me. Can't wait for some of that change to be noticeable on me. So thank you all , and Stick with it. $CHANGE IS A COMIN $ -
I am picturing you doing the limbo in Jamiaca with a colorful hip wrap and head wrap. Then sitting on the beach with a large bowl of fruit watching hunks saunder by. woohoo lol

Project Disney commented on TakinThePlunge's blog entry in TakinThePlunge's Journal
I agree with Bardy. I have had my band on for 4 yrs. I stopped allowing the band to work for me after the initial bliss wore off.. The consequences was as yours. Gain Gain Gain... Did I mentioned I gained weight? lol I have recognized my compulsion to eat as my relationship to food is being revealed. . The band still works great when I allow it to. The band never left me , I left it and all it could do for me. I think the same for your band.. It is still there waiting for you to use it. So get it filled and find that determination and mind set that allowed you to lose the weight you had. You will find a new apprectiation and a gratitude for your band and this helpful site.

Hi there, I think you have done really awesome.. I think motivation is kind of a personal thing. What motivates me, may not motivate another..ONE hat has helped me to no end is this site and reading peoples comments, replys and blogs. I try to learn something from each one. I have even learned much from others admitted failures., I have learned through the members not to beat myself up so much. That a new spurt of motivation comes with new determination and resolve for success. I learned we are in a battle and that we may lose a round or two but that complete victory is attainable. We just need to stay in the fight. Part of the fight i believe is to stay in touch with this site as part of your excercise program. It's a mind, soul and spirit excercise that helps strengthen your motivation. Okay now, Put up you dukes and battle. Blessings Dolly

he he , that sounds really exciting. You have done so very well. It is encouraging to the rest of us. Can't wait to feel the joy you felt when your weight loss was so noticeable. Thanks for sharing. Dolly

That kind of thinking is Awesome. A New Turn. I like that. I'm incorporating it into propelling myself around the next corner. I love the fact that we learn from each other on this site. That story of forgiveness was so good. It amazes me how God can turn lemon into lemonaide. People all to often blame God for the bad things that happen, (Even our body weight or shape.) But it is "bad" people making "bad" choices that result in pain and suffering . God is there to "change" us. Weather it's to change peoples hearts, or to change the hurting , the suffering ,and assaulted . Only He can take a story of such horrific abuse and give another a hope and answer from it. He is the Life Changer of all Life Changers. Blessings Dolly

Have you found it any easier kelly since your last refill. I know each one takes awhile to get used to and to figure it out. Anxious to hear how it is going for you. I am still doing great. Got the motivation and drive still going strong. Blessings

If your dog is too fat, you're not getting enough excercise !

Someone told me that joke once and since i have been doing a lot of self evaluation, It popped into my head. It got me thinking about excercise. Before I would say, " If God wanted me to touch my toes he would have put them up higher." I usually do make a joke out of some thing I find uncomfortable. And being obese ,as most of us know, is uncomfortable. Since finding this site and using and relating to many members I am stoked about letting my band work with and for me. I am wheelchair bound so I guess I pretty much excused my self from excercising. But today I went on You Tube at my daughter-in-laws recommendation. I typed in "wheelchair excercises" and a boat load of videos came up. Some are great and look fun. Like doing the Charelston from your wheelchair. lol That should make my hubby laugh:D . What he does not know, is WE BOTH start tomorrow. he he. I think if i make it fun instead of a lot of pain and work , I will last longer and even enjoy it. Wish me good workout sessions. And look up "wheelchair excercises" on YouTube if you have a hard time standing for any length of time or are wheelchair bound like me. ..Blessings Dolly -
Your doing great. And doing what you do not like, is showing real committment . Good Job . That made me ask myself that questions. Am I doing the things I do not like in an effort to be successful ? That is a good question for all of us to reckon with. It will show our resolve and committment . Keep up the good work, it's inspiring for the rest of us. Blessings Dolly

I have been keeping up with your blog and I find you doing the things I recently was doing. I say that because I have a new mind set to keep me on the lap band way of life. One of the things I related to is an overly active emphasis about food. I agree with kelly 1 in her post below that you are thinking about food too much. One of the things that is making me successful after many failures is a "MIND SET" I have set my mind not to think about food. I totally did not realize how often I thought of food. And when I did I always would cave in and eat. So anytime a smell, commercial , or other stimulant will make me think of food , I immediately vanish the thought out of my head. A lot of over eating results just because we think and dwell on food. It is hard because I love food, but part of that love was thinking about it too much. To keep thinking about food is like allowing an abusive lover back into your life. It is destructive . So keep on analyzing your self. It helps to understand your relationship to food.

Hi AppleG. I was just wondering how you are doing. I noted that you had difficulty and I really related to that. Anything you learned to get you going or over a difficult time please share with me. I am learning more and more about the physcology behind the bands useage. ..Blessings

Greetings: I just wanted to check in to let you know that I am staying the course. You were the one I heard from first and encouraged me from the getty go. I have learned so much about the physcology of the band. Thought i had myself all figured out. But I was just "fooled". Learning that a mind set needs excercising. Any learned nuggets of success, please pass my way. Blessings.

Super duper job and how encouraging for us. You sound energetic, I bet it's because you are ! Packing 40 lbs less is a great energizer. Can't wait to be there myself. Good banding ! -
continued. I think you will find that your band will assist you now much better after getting it filled. You are doing great I think especially when it wasn't doing all that much for you. good job

I am doing great. Really have the mind set to stick to healthy eating choices. I have to admit that I do not weigh myself until I go the the doctor. There are too many things that can work against me when i weigh everyday . Like water retention, even bowel movements, yikes! It can be unnessaringly discouraging to me. So i avoid the scales. I can tell by my clothes and energy and the way I feel

Bless your heart. You are doing great and your resolve sounds strong. Darn that pizza smell ! It is one of the worst evil tempters of all time. I found it leads to thinking of food, which I do not allow myself to do now, unless it has to do with planning a healthy meal. Get a mind set of not allowing your self to think of food. I was surprized at how many times I thought about food which led to bad shopping choices and bad choices period. So i encourage you to excercise your mind set and replace any thoughts of food with a resolve to stick to the program and it's results. I don't like to say "good luck" because I don't believe luck has anything to do with this. So I will say "good banding"

opps, that last post was in response to your question about telling others about the band.

I told everyone who would listen because I thought it would give me the accountability I would need. And I still think that it may work for some. But looking back I put too much pressure on myself for results. When it didn't come quick enough I felt disappointed and of course had to eat to make myself feel good, Besides it tasted good. oh what a vicious circle we allow ouselves to wallow in.

Ahhhh lol no wonder I didn't see it. This is a difficult site to figure out. but looking for somethig that doesn't exsist it harder yet. tee hee thanks

Thank you for that idea. I had not discovered the reciepe dept. on this site yet. How are you doing? Is everything working correctly ? I found my band works if I allow it to. My compulsion to eat made me over ride it. But I have recognized and woke up to what i must do. It is all about committment to effort and...
