Karla - y ou showed roses -how cool - I spray mine with soap kind of mixture that says it's green product - but I got some bug eating the new leaves - I don't see any on the roses but you can see where they are eating the leaves..

Karla - thanks for the tips - I gotta wait till the pull up the base of the honeysuckles then I will prep the soil Candice - WTG shopping - Well i'm starving . going to go cook my dinner . cbl hugs

Good Evening Gang Candice Glad to hear you are going to WW - I think it's a great way to learn to eat healthy and helps you be accountable - I gotta say all that I have learned about eating healthy came from my WW days.. It's how I eat today - I know their point system changed - just bought some snack fudgecicles last night - you get 2 for 90 cal or 1 ww pt - well let me tell you they are very small - but you get 2.. I see Phyl got a epdural (sp) back better but leg feeling weird - Phyl hope its better by now.. Karla - how many more days of school Well at 2 get email - the other lawyer want's 3 yrs tax returns - correspondence - names and address of all the partners - copy of partnership papers.. meeting at 9 tomorrow - wish me luck..

I would guess all of us are - but the real issue is that we choose to eat when faced with difficult situations.. The band isn't going to stop your head hunger issues at all - they aren't banding your head - they band your stomach - The band is only a tool - not the quick fix. It's going to stop you from eating a 16 oz steak - but not a bag of candy or a gallon of ice cream.. If you are truly sick and tired of being fat - then you gotta do something about it - yes the band helps but you gotta do the head work - This is truly a lifestyle change in your eating and exercise habits - it's not a diet - it's about eating healthy.... You gotta understand that the reason you are obese is due to the kinds of foods you eat (high fat - high sugar - tons of starches) , the lack of exercise and the quantities of foods you eat. You have to change all those things to be successful.. End of Story.. I will be banded 4 yrs next month - was 52 when banded weighed 250 lbs and I am 5'3 - Lost my weight in a yrs time - have maintained that weight loss for 3 yrs - today weigh between 136 & 138 and I'm 56 yrs old.. How did this happen you ask - how did I do it - how have I maintained #1 I eat healthy (follow the banding rules Protein 1st - veggies and limited starches) #2 Exercise #3 Band I have lost my Brother - have had MAJOR other family issues -all since I was banded - Did I turn to food - Hell no - it doesn't take away the pain - it doesn't make you feel better all it does is make you fatter and more depressed - it doesn't solve the problems So if you want to get banded go for it - It's a great tool - but that's all it is - make sure you are ready to do the head work that is involved cuz truly that's where the majority of our issues w/food lie.. The choice is up to you.. Good Luck on your journey...

Good Morning Peeps Phyl - Hugs on your tech issues - when the box (tv) goes out like that just unplug it for a few and then plug it back in and reboot - it usually works for me.. Too bad those batteries are so heavy - I would carry an extra one w/me ;0) CONGRATULATION on your 1.5 lbs !!!!! Keep it up girl !!!! Candice LOL on food not tasting as good - that's the truth - when I'm eating something I think omg this isn't what I remember - so I just toss it.. I am great at tossing. Well I would at least feel Brian out about the issues - do you think DD has met someone else during her travels. Karla - Why would they sell it to you - they should give it to you - I would take it pay $10 a month ;0) and not worry about it - that's stupid to sell it to family - if I had one got a new one - I would give it to you!!! I don't know crap about growing stuff ;0) I know roses are easy and I love flowers just ask the girls - I have slik ones all over my house. I don't know what kind - I just pick out what I like ;0) What do I have to do to get the soil ready.. Well time to hit the showers... CBL HUGS & LOVE TOO ALL

Good Evening Peeps Took the weekend off.. Linda - LOL I have energy sometimes - sometimes I don't - I find that since I cut my exercise back to 3 days a week I am feeling better.. Glad your hip is healing well. The trip w/Mandy sounds great Candice - Just cuz you have company doesn't mean you have to go totally hog wild - Get back on the band wagon girl... Hugs on Megan issues - Have you talked to Brian Karla - Cut down all my honeysuckles (well the gardner did) - going to replace them with roses - my back yard is going to be a rose garden - I gotta go get soil mix to put in the dirt and next weekend pick out about 20 roses. Everyone Struggling - If you think you are deprived cuz you can't eat your Fav Food - Think Again - Think of the pple in the 3rd world countries- Those pple are deprived. Hell our Hobo's eat better than a person in Somila.. So next time you want that bread - butter - cake - candy to feed your hunger when you have a pt at hand to eat instead and you think Think am I deprived ... Well think again... Being Obese is depriving you of life Karri - You are welcome to stay - just give me a days notice so I can wash the sheets ;0)

Only 6 days left - lucky girl.. I'm almost done w/Joseph blanket - would like to read some - but just haven't had time either.

Karla I don't slide cuz I don't diet - I pretty much stick to the same foods and do allow for treats. If I have a day of treats then the next day it's back to eating healthy - and same goes when on vacation - I have realized that the reason I was morbitly obese was the way I ate and lack of exercise -I don't want to be morbitly obese - I want to live ..

GO IN THE KITCHEN AND THROW AWAY THE CRAP YOU ARE EATING NOW.. I don't allow crap in my house - if it's not there it can't be eaten - I'm almost 4 yrs out and if there was a choc cake in the kitchen I would eat it - would you leave a bottle of booze in the kicthen if you were an alcohlic - nope - so don't keep crap in the house - and if it is in my house (after company comes) I throw it a way - better in thee (trash) than in me...

What are you eating - are you logging your food - give me a typical days food (tell the truth) are you exercising - Losing weight is all about calorie in vs calories burned. It's better to be on the loser side than the tighter side - Our bands are only tools the major work is up to you - You gotta eat healthy foods - you gotta watch the sugar - white starches - alway eat pt first - then veggies..

Good Morning Peeps Had boot camp at 8 - I was pooped yesterday.. Karla - Boys are so much easier to diaper - since boys don't have cookie (my niece's saying for the vajj) it's easier - the only thing is if they get curicumsize which they did back in the day but now welfare won't pay for it - Joseph was curcumsized Andrew isn't and all you gotta do then is push the skin back and clean - but poop doesn't go there either - I perfer boys to girls as far as raising - I think they are easier - I had my niece (same age as Joseph) who I would dress up an play with her hair - then Kaitlin & Brooke and have had 4 step DD's so I have had my share of girls - the thing is if she were having a girl then all you would see is cute boy clothes - and when it's a boy you see all these cute girl clothes - it's just like when you are a 18 you see cute 10's but when you are a 10 you can't find shit LOL As far a DD's bf kid - that has a lot to do with his mom too and how he was raised - it's not all the bf's fault - Temperment etc ya can come from him but also it can be just to lack of displine and maybe adhd. Who knows - quit thinking the worse - this child is a blessing and it will have love - you will be their to help guide the way. Phyl - Hugs on the doc issues - If they can't find a vein after a couple trys tell them to get someone else - I do - but truly now a days my veins show and are easy to get - less body fat covering them up is what Idrise said.. Echo isn't bad they just hook you up with patches - no biggie it won't be as hard as the other test. Linda - Since you have a dh - that's his job LOL I'm old school - trash and yard man's work - the rest mine - but since I don't have a dh - it's all up to me - I hate taking out the trash - that was Joseph's & Andrews - Once Joesph got old enought he did the yard - I did it sometimes - but then when he left and i got to a certain age (like in my late 30-40) I got a gardner as it would take one whole Sat to mow the front & back and clean up - my old house had a big yard.. You gotta take care of those hips so that they will work correctly in the future - you gotta heal - Hugs on the cold - put on TMC - get your beading out and chill and drink oj ;0) doc Janet orders Candice you are up bright and early today - what's on your agenda today..
