It probably wasn't the best choice of words, when I asked a co-worker to make copies for me, she asked is it hard? she's been here a year and a 1/2 and most of that on her cell phone texting. I said," yes a monkey can do it..."

Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. Sometimes we have to move out of our comfort zones, we tend to settle avoid the riffs, stay out of the radar, but thas' just getting by, not real life sometimes.

Co-worker brought in peeps and egg shaped reeses piece candy. And she shares so she doesn't have to feel guilty (her words). I'm snacking on my bag of triscuts..

If we were in person I'd do the sound effects too! You'll know who to tell. I know I would tell a co-worker, be healthy eat healthy because when you get to my age... (different co worker but still a candy eater) but I think I OVERdid it , because one day I caught a face, so I have never said it to her again. I tell my daughter , and my daughter is now a gym rat working on herself.
All we can do is pass along our experiences.

I think it has finally sunk in, (after 5 years) to my co-workers that no I don't want to partake in your pastry gluttony every other morning. I don't want to join in your Starbucks morning (or afternoon) break runs to nearby store. That while you eat your ice creams I am fine with a cup of jello /banana or my cashews/almonds/or chickpeas/raisins. That all I see (and I've told them) is a pile a sugar. That while they "lumber" down the hallway, I walk down the hallway, rubbing my stomach up and down, making sure it's still gone. Maybe I'm being harsh, but there is no better example of what I could have been had I not gotten the lap band. It's become almost awkward, because there are 3 of us and at one time we were all on the heavy side. Now there are just 2 and one of us is in size 12 pants not size 20. !
-
I can't really comment on the co-worker situation, but I definitely know the feeling of looking at almost everything and thinking "sugar" (even if it's not). Luckily it's gotten to be a habit so I'm not really tempted by anything. That said, I'm very accommodating to my co-workers/friends and they to me: if we go to Starbucks I just get a mint tea, and they don't comment at all when we are out at other places and I avoid the rice, noodles, and other breaded items that are so common here in Japan. It's a nice balance. However, we rarely go out so this isn't much of an issue.

I had sleep apnea too, the blood pressure no diabetes, after loosing 60 lbs, I still snore like a bear , and still have to take blood pressure meds. (hereditary per dr. ) still no diabetes. With insurance, normal wait time is 6 months. Cash, come right on in. Good Luck !
-
I watch my 600 lb story, all the time, family hates it. But I feel a kindred-ness to some of the people and their struggles. Although I was never at that weight. Even though some are as tall as me 5'1,
Recently I was watching the show and my daughter, rolled her eyes and said Mom do you feel that big and I said sometimes. She said Mom that's sad, do you know how many of those people would love to be the size you are now? (onederland). Honestly I never thought about it that way. But I can say that's its made me more grateful for the weight I have gotten to !!!
-
Both my daughters say that to me all the time. "Mom really do you see yourself that big??? Mommmm you're not it's all in your head" I hear them and while no I may not be 600lbs I am very big in my mind I don't see what the scales says.

CurvyCakes, when they say its all in your head, I said exactly !!!! Even when I look in the mirror all I have to compare myself to IS the Big me... my hubby hid the scales years ago, everytime I would eat and poop I'd check the scales. And freak when I gained acouple ounces. It kind of became a joke, "ahh just go poop you'll be fine." its something we have to work on,

Menopause hit, after I had pneumonia in October and took some heavy rounds of antibiotics, it took my resistance to ZERO. I was off of work, for 3 months. no working out and now just back to work. Going from 6 days a week working out to none, has been hard, every day I think is today the day I'm going to the gym and by midday I'm already dragging. Trying to take vitamins and eat healthy. As the dr. said this is temporary , since I never had issues before. But hey I lost 25 lbs.

I've had my band unfilled about 3 times. Because I didn't add anything for 2 years, (I was being so strict on myself) that every time I got up to 3ccs I couldn't eat, sip a little. I'd go back to dr to take what I had put in removed and wait another week. I was still having problems (things got swollen) that dr ended up removing everything from band. Id have to wait 6 weeks to start over. I did that 3 times. But hey I lost weight during that time! just remember small, bites, that's my biggest problem, sometimes I so hungry I forget, and I end up in bathroom, with my finger down my throat trying to make things come back up, or down. I know that's not ideal either but in that moment...
-
Vomiting is nothing to play around with, go back to dr. The sore throat maybe stick to liquids for a few days. For me the weather (cold mostly) makes my band tight in am. I saw suggestions here, to drink something hot, I started drinking hot Water with a little lemon in it. Or heat up a cup of almond milk and a splash of coffee for Breakfast. Even after 6 years, I still have trouble, so don't beat yourself over the head. Eventually you will find a rhythm to the eating and drinking, and a reminder no big bites good luck

Grrr, I can't stand that they allow this new person to be on her cell phone all the time, I have to keep my back to her, otherwise it will piss me off

I love protein bars too but then I get all constipated and have to stop eating them for awhile. But they have some good ones out there!

I was so happy in the direction I was headed..

working out 5-6 times a day, not really worrying about the weight but feeling good and bam, I came down with pneumonia . Now 5 weeks later I am weak as kitten. I can barely do 2,000 steps. I had so many antibiotics, cortisone. that it has wiped my body out. I'm taking vitamins, iron, B12, probiotics and actually feel better. When I don't take something I feel off, but half that stuff gives me constipation. As for exercise that's been put on hold. My body is just not bouncing back ,,, what happened??? I'm only venting because I'm sure my husband is tired of my whining, and sometimes reading about what someone else is going through changes my outlook on what's going on in my life. naptime

Hang in there and I hope you start feeling better really soon! Give your body time to heal and I'm sure you'll be back up to speed in no time.

I have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I try to keep weight off, diet and working out, sometimes age and gravity win!

Maybe they'll win a battle or two, but NEVER war! Live to fight another day.

heartstop moment, working out , getting some sweat going and I look at it to check time, it hadn't moved! time to get a battery. I had worked out for 20 minutes

NSV: my workout leggings no longer curl around my cancankles, I can wear a tie back dress, there is some slack now.

Just because I can do the ab cruncher at Planet Fitness doesn't mean I should do it everyday

The nurse from Dr's office called to reschedule my Tuesday appointment . She kept asking me if I was ok, having any problems, really sorry. I said no problem. She gave me the date. When I told her I was ok with that, because I had planned to come back from the beach a day early just for that appointment, so it worked out for me. The nurse laughed and said no wonder you are the only nice one I've talked too about rescheduling...
