No game

ShitED are you saying I should of stayed fat 3 more years then lose the weight and not have to worry about crossover addictions!

Are you recording everything you eat daily? Calories really sneak up on me if I don't count. Also push the water if your not. I tell you if I don't drink my water I do not lose weight! 64oz at least a day.

He want them to move out before January??Before they move to Oregon?? Can't he wait till they are ready.. If he fears they won't leave ever have them draw up a contract with their intent and sign it to show him they have a plan..

Yeah.. I'm grasping at straws at this point But it's not just the pain that's stopping me from binging like I said the pain from fullness (restriction) NEVER stopped me before. And the ghrelin no hunger thing? Well I'd binge when not hungry all the time. So this no satisfaction thing??

Lol, I didn't say he was a great Dr!! You know everybody is calling themselves doctors these days.. Oh but it is always blue...

Oh the age old conundrum. Soup what to do?? Solid or a liquid??? Well shit it's both! The two things we aren't supposed to do together!! So I just eat my soup and pretend I'm not breaking the rules I think when you eat soup you just need to realize it might not stay with you as long as a piece of meat. A couple of weeks ago we went to pho after a hike. my plan was to eat mostly the meat out of it and not the noodles and broth., But I was so freezing I ate all the broth instead and left to rest to bring home to my daughter (she will eat anything)

So part of my reading today (in between shopping that is ) Oh notice the line: ""There is also the so-called vertical sleeve gastrectomy"" Weight-loss surgery not clear cut Dr Karl › Dr Karl's Great Moments In Science Wouldn't you think that weight-loss surgery would work just by massively restricting how much food a person could squish into their stomach? But no, it's much more complicated than that. First, let's look at the surgery. One operation involves actual cutting of the stomach. The Roux-en-Y or stomach bypass involves stapling the stomach to leave only a very small pouch at the top, which is then connected by a new pipe to the small intestine. Here most of the stomach and part of the small intestine is bypassed. There is also the so-called vertical sleeve gastrectomy, where the majority of the stomach is cut away, leaving your new stomach in the shape of a long, narrow tube. The answer might lie in the so-called 'brain-of-the-gut', the enteric nervous system. It takes a lot of processing power to eat. You have to chew the food, mix it up and move it along the 10-metre length of the gut at the precise speed and with the appropriate holdovers, and also synchronise the addition of various juices and the release of various hormones, and finally, expel the food. On one hand, this enteric nervous system has only about half-a-million neurons — about 170,000 times fewer than the 85 billion neurons in the brain in your skull. But while the brain makes some 100 neurotransmitters, the enteric nervous system makes a respectable 40 neurotransmitters. That's a lot. You've probably heard of serotonin, the so-called 'feel-good' hormone. The brain in your skull makes a tiny 5 per cent of all the serotonin in your body — the brain of your gut, the enteric nervous system, makes 95 per cent. Dopamine is a hormone associated with, among other activities, pleasure and the reward system. Your brain makes 50 per cent, while your enteric nervous system makes the other 50 per cent. On top of this, your enteric nervous system produces various hormones that can make you hungry or full. So this seemingly straightforward weight-loss surgery is not so straightforward.

Hey girlie Remember when I told you these threads end up in fights sometimes? Well the good news is this one didn't.. That's a start! I know it's hard not to take some of this personal. But part of what people are writing here are not reflections of what they think of you. It is rather everyone working out the reasons we ALL did these kinds of things in the past.. It's all a learning process for of us..

I'm not sure what the others will say but for me? It is something only I can change. My spouse while he is great at listening to my problems and supporting me with unconditional love. He cannot help change my behaviors I must do that

Stay strong skinniness! Why does your husband want her to move out? I'm confused.. Do you mean after she marries ?

Yes the strong one... That is the other part of it. We may be fat in everyone's eyes but we are the strongest most times.. I had to do everything in the days after my brothers death. My mom put her self into the hospital because she was dying again. I get mad at my brother sometimes too. But because I wish that he could of found his strength and stuck it out. Plus he is missing out on a great niece and nephew..

Lol! achieving world peace might be easier..Just the simple thing you said about it not providing pleasure or numbing anymore.. I feel that and wasn't smart enough to recognize it fully until you said it.. I've been thinking a lot more as to the "why" that is. And it's definitely an other part of this tool that us hard core secret eaters, bingers might not have recognized very easily? So with having my stomach hacked out i think of our "tiny new tummies" and I tend to forget that hormone production and messages received by the brain are altered.. We are not getting that dopamine stoked like we did before? I don't have it all together yet because let's face it I'm not that smart of a woman But I've been doing some reading, and still trying to figure out why this is a very good thing. Because it is a good thing! We just need time for that 2 by 4 to hit us upside the head a couple of times.. Lol not sure any of that made sense... But you asked

Chuffed??? I say amazingballs (lol is that how you say it?) I'm so happy for you guys! That's what my daughter wants to ultimately do too. We have some strong girls

I have no problem cutting ties with family... I did it for many years with my mother. Some might think I was cold for that. But when there is no bond it's pretty easy. But as someone mentioned it can get complicated. In my case with the death of my brother. I'm the only one left to help her out if needed. For the most part she is on her best behavior these days because she knows how easy I will walk. Limiting works for me, but it's in her best interest too. Because believe it or not I don't want to hurt her and if I spend too much time with her I will, and do.

Good news!!It really is nice to get it out. We have, all of us, had some rough starts, some rough days, some rough years.. But there is so much to be happy for too! Your husband and the family you've created are the light at the end of the tunnel. I've had some shitty things happen yes. And I still have to occasionally deal with the fallout with my mom. But my life today? It's pretty darn great! I have an awesome family of my making and I wouldn't change a thing

Oh that's not not good! I would be in serious distress over seeing that daily! The only good thing I see there? Those cheap asses are charging for that crap! If it were free? Would be like "oh you must grab you mustn't pass up free food it might come in handy"

No not me.... The show is on tonight gather around W.D fans!!

Welcome aboard jensnewjourney!

Army.. She was really set on the army for some reason.

Hope you're feeling ok.. Most likely it's the internal sutures they put in that area. At some point a lot of us felt that pop and even had a few days of pain when twisting.. If course though if something doesn't feel right don't hesitate to call the doc!

lol she's going to boot camp in June. Im going to waiting for that phone call you know the one.. "I love you" "I'm sorry" "you were so nice" oh and "get me the fucked outta here!!"

Truly transforming, making those hard changes never is

Being an assED holed teenager shows that you cared and felt safe with him.. At least that's what I tell myself when my 17 year old is acting that way

I'm still blown away at that transformation! You really do look good! You wanna trade thighs

It must be very hard for little girls to grow up with a mom gone she sounds like she must of been a good mom and wife the short time you had her. It also sounds like your father loved her very much..
