:rolleyes2:If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh nevermind, you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked, you are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy, sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life, the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't, Maybe you'll divorce at 40, Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary What ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can, don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings, they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard, Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.:thumbup: :thumbup:But trust me on the sunscreen:thumbup:

What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
Firedad53073 replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
"I can't wait until I see them next summer and finally look like a hot girl" :cool2:From what I can see in the picture you are already a hot gal. Don’t let other people’s inability to see true beauty keep you from seeing your own.:grouphug: -
I really am a nice, affectionate, caring guy and those who know me best could not imagine me as anything but so. There is no bit nor ounce of me which is cruel, mean, or petty in any shape form or way. Because of this, I am doomed and condemned through so much of life, pained and aggravated by the frustrations of truth and bitterly aching realities. I feel so contorted and distorted too much of the time, dragged down and beaten by the insistent ironies and troubling turmoils of life. It takes way too much courage and strength to be a profoundly effectively nice person in spite of all the odds against finding true love. People tend to think of the simply good as lacking in proper character and will, that someone who dares to go beyond human bindings in heart and soul is actually someone weak, bland, uninteresting or strange, bizzare, crazy. They feel disconcertingly weird when someone rhapsodizes them in unconditional adoration. Because any admirer must inherently be human, and refuse to allow the transcendent emotion of others to conduit with our more vulgar realities. They feel that unexplained, perhaps even undeserving affection is not specific enough to them, that it might as well not be showered upon any one at all. Perhaps in the abstract view of life it could and should; but to find some nexus of actuality where the invisible potentials for genuine relation can connect in a spark of splendor is truly too great to give up on altogether. The challenge, really, is to try to learn what we can through the pain of an open existence that we may better tune and temper our souls to the multi-dimensional music subtly discernable amid the cacophony of mutual living.

Firedad53073 replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The rudest thing any one has said to me was when my ex-wife who at one time was over 300 lbs and I still loved her for who she was, had the gastric bypass surgery and lost a whole lot of weight. She got down to like 105lbs and told me that she didn’t want to be with me because I was fat and wanted a Divorce. (What do you think about that?) -
What's a good way to meet a guy? Do guys actually like bigger girls?
Firedad53073 replied to Amethystjade's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can’t speak for other guys but I prefer a lady with curves. I have just recently met the gal of my dreams and am madly in love with her and she is a size 18/20. she is always saying she needs to lose weight but I think she is perfect. If she wants to lose the weight to be healthy I don’t have a problem with that but I let her know I would love her no matter what size she was. -

I am not sure I can say I know exactly what you are feeling, but I have had some of the same concerns. Getting back out there after all these years is kind of rough the only advice I can give is "you gotta do it" The right one is out there but ya just gotta remember you have to love your self if you want any one to love you for who you are. Never give up on love it is out there and is worth everything you are willing to put in to it. Hopefully this is not just random jabbering and actually makes some sense J -
Just wanted to say HI!

:crying:I dont seem to have any energy right now and it is soo hard getting in to the gym I dont know what to do. A friend of mine said it may be the fact that i am not getting enough protien. I would love some advice or info that would help me get my energy back. I feel like i am dragging and I dont think thats going to help me with the weightloss. I Have 3 very active jobs and if i dont do something to build up my energy that is going to be a problem...
