Telly, I am SOOO happy to hear that you are alive. Funny, you have such a WONDERFUL spirit. I LOVED your story..and I am happy to know Mother's always bring out the best in us. (**She says as she snickers**) Funny and PNut, I LOVE that you guys have FAB men. Send some down here to Texas for me.

Thanks. I was just thinking and writing about how much I fear deprivation. I am scared of standing up from a table and being hungry or feeling deprived. Most of my eating is because I am scared what will happen if I don't. Does that make any sense? I feel like such a loser right now. I feel exposed.

One of the things that is hard is going for a full healthy meal. LIke I want a salad but with ranch-treat. I "healthy" meal but with one "bad" thing. IT is like I am scared of not being able to have that one thing. Scared of depriving myself. I look at it as deprivation. It is something I am so scared of for some reason.

Thanks Moor. It was really hard for me to write down everything I am eaing but I figure maybe if I am honest I can figure it out. I almost thought about lying today. I am thinking planning might be the best idea for me. Thanks for the thoughts and for your time. Lindsay

Kat--I need some help too. Sherri--this is "the" place to be. I was banded in Mexico. (we pm'ed the other day) I SUPPORT YOU!!!

Given the fact that I was such a naughty girl this weekend I'll take the .5 pound gain. (puts her tail between her legs and runs...) :faint: BUT, it could have been worse and I am learning SO much during the challenge because I am trying my darndest to keep a food journal. AND TODAY IS MY BANDIVERSARY!!! Next week will be GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT! I feel certain. Thanks to everyone on this thread! XXXOOO C 184.5 (-38 total, +.5 this week) Welcome styler! Congrats A1 and Pfunk-big losses=good motivation for the rest of us!!

FYI. Just in case this happens again or to anyone else. I was banded in Mexico and they did pay for my trip to the hospital when I was PB'ing blood. Turns out they really didn't do much but call my Mexico dr. Gave me a maalox type thing and took an xray and stay on liquids for a week. PLEASE let us know how you are. Lindsay

I fianlly posted my swimsuit pics on page 2 of the challenge but, of course, can't figure out how to get the to actually post without having to click on them. Anywho... Funny, I am SOOO excited for you about your surgery. I am sure you will get it all figured out. Do you use Wellsfargo? They do cash advances as do credit card companies. Kristin, do you go to St. Mary's? You live just up the street. I am in Austin. I went to University of Houston Law Center.

At the Four Seasons with my boss. Very fancy lunch. I couldn't eat! BUMMER!

Question: through journaling I have figured out that my BAD spot is between lunch and dinner. I get to I feel like I "deserve something" and I just get a weird urge. Any ideas on how to conquer this battle? At least I have narowed it down. Kristin, I went through the DREADED bathing suit shopping recently and got the cutest suit. It is very simple but VERY flattering. I also got a cute little skirt to wear with it. Looks darling. I got it at Target.
