  1. 2nd time in my life, in Rue 21 shop, all the bright colors, and lights, I think I started hyperventilating! I made myself stay and pick out an outfit.

      I know all my life, I've always picked out clothes and colors that would make me blend into the background, take any focus off of me, I don't think that is Rue 21's motto. It' was like the louder color the better!!,

  2. Something happened, :(, I have a nut allergy and the only one I could eat was peanut butter, I have been noticing lately that after I eat some PB, I have been getting itchy. soo bummed

  3. I love mayo, sometimes there's even some tuna in it... lol, but that has been one of the hardest things to cut down on, and the diet stuff, ewwww. mayo and French fries anyone?
  4. Sometimes I get the same feeling when I'm holding my breath to try to get into size 14 pants, than when I was trying to get into size 22 pants.. sometimes

  5. when does the time come when you can start enjoying losing weight?

      For me it took until I was feeling 100%. It's hard to be happy about losing when I don't feel good. Hang in there, it does get better.

  7. I found a sticky in going through my lapband stuff, it says Carb's first then Protein, can't remember why I wrote it

  8. All that exercise started a chain reaction, can't get enough protein right now.. but it's a good sign means my body is working.

    Im so sick of passive aggressive people.

    I hear you, before I "had a life". My family expected me to be doing nothing all weekend long and that I needed to spend the day taking care of their "someone else can do lists". When I started dating hubby, and one of the first times he slept over, my phone started ringing, I said its either my mother or sister and sure enough it was mom. and several minutes later it was my sister. It took them awhile to understand that I was not at their disposal any longer and I can honestly say that I was at fault for allowing myself to be taken advantage of. It's a sad assumption and may it be true or not, that big people have no life. This weekend I exercised so much, my little heart is pounding, (I'm eating peanut butter for protein) . Live life my friend.
  10. Guess I overdid, Zumba/body toning Saturday. Two mile walk on Sunday, my little heart has been pounding, overdid the cardio, I need to ease back into...

  11. chocolate covered potato chips? doesn't even sound good.

      I never thought chocolate maple bacon sounded good either but people love it! It must be the salty and sweet!

  12. Embarrassment of the actual activity and how I would look, when I wasn't fat. then when I was fat, embarrassment and shame how I would look doing activity. Now I don't give a sh@t what anyone thinks. Its my life and I will do what I need to , to stay healthy. You can only look back in regret of how much we allow the outside world to dictate our lives,
  13. Not really strange, but just the type, cooking everything in lard or cooking oil. Since my lap band, we cook with olive oil, and use agave for sweetener . breads, mayo are my kryptonite, instead of reaching for a pudding/jello or ice cream, boiled noyams has become my new dessert now.
  14. #MagicWithinme

    I screwed up

    We are allowed to enjoy the sweets as well, just limited. My Dr. told me its ok to cheat sometime you have to, he said fall into your indulgences, then get back on track. easy as that, without over thinking.
  15. Nobody's fault but my own, had to taste test the pumpkin roll, banana pudding, pistachio ambrosia, but hey the yams were at least healthy, checked blood sugar, 117, ok back to fiber bars

      What an awesome feeling!

  17. I have to realize that although I have stopped the abuse on my body, there was still damage done, I have to allow my mind/body to heal from that still.
