    What is the elusive "sweet spot?"

    youve only been banded since march?????????????????:omg: Ok lets get honest here. I was banded in june of 05 and I still don't have a sweet spot. This band is a tool we have to learn to use. It does take time to learn to make it work. It takes time for us to work at breaking old bad habits and to get the right fill ammount. So don't be so hard on yourself. It's not coming off over night. But it will come off. And slower is better than not at all. I know this as a fact because I have not lost any lbs for a year. But I have stay the same. So Frustration I know about. But to be without my band is a frightening thought. I am learnig every day. and I know I'll get there. You will too Amy

    Messed up Body Image!

    I have read all relpies and I'm wondering if we are not just afraid of being skinny? Cuz Peolpe don't really expect alot from fat peolpe. ok here is an example. When i was 340+ and I took my two little kids to the store. I would have a basket full of food and two wiggly kids and the bagger boys or cahier never offered to help me. Then I lost 100+ and every one and there dog opened doors helped me with my bags. ok It made me wonder? where were you people 100lbs ago when I could bearly walk to my car with out having a heart attack? Peolpe don't really take fat people seriouly we are the funny ones we are fun to hang around with the favorit Aunt or Unlce etc. But at work we are hardly ever the boss. Well sometimes men are but you hardly ever see a really heavy woman boss. and execpt for when we are funny we are pretty much ignored. And now here we are making all these changes and entering or rentering the thin world and people are being friendlyer and actualy including us in converstion and stuff. My thing is I am terroified by success. I got my band in june.and I set goals with myself. My first goal was to be to 215 by my first year anniversery. Well I reached it in April. a month early. I was so excited. Then all of a sudden I could fit into size 16s I freked and have been on a binge ever since. I have managed to gain 6lbs. And so I have been contiplating what the heck is wrong with me and then I read these threads and I think it is just scary. it is a whole new world. And it does take time to adjust to all of it. I am very greatful to know that I'm not alone in my struggle to come to terms with this body thing. Thanks tooo allll of you for sharing Anillacookie:biggrin1:

    Starting point for weight loss

    I count eveything. I put it on I took if off it all counts right? I don't know??? When I started this band trip I statrted at 270. when my Dr. first wieghted me I was only 261.(Liquide diet for two weeks to see if I could do it.) I count the 270. My pre-band fat days saw me at 340+ I walked myself down to 215 then I got re-married and gain some back that's when my band trip started. So for what it is worth start where you want. Fickley your Amy:gluck:
