Boo Boo Kitty

Not at all. When I think of how I used to eat, I am truly truly embarassed. AND I am the ONLY one who knows the real truth about it. I miss nothing about it. Food is no longer life, I have a good life now!

WHEESTIN--3??? I am completely completely jelous! I have been making alot of $$ lately on ebay, it is a pain, but I have made $250 in the last 2 weeks. I have reinvested it all on new clothes on ebay, but lol....it worked for me. I have done cosignment but that sucks to me!

lol....good point. Maybe DH just needs to start dealing with it, or buy me a bigger house with bigger closets? I do need a pair of black pants though. That seems to be a staple I am missing!

Nikki--thanks sweetie! I am sorry about all the reflux. Try papaya. It is for all digestion problems, and it won't hurt baby a bit! It helps me when I get reflux. Brandi--It is ok to have a bad go of it sometimes. We all know you and we know that you are committed. Just try to not be so hard on yourself and you can get back focused. You can do it, we all know it! YOU need to know it too! Just step away from the candy. It is ok to eat carbs once and awhile hun, your body actually does need them. Just make sure you are getting GOOD carbs and not bad ones! QUIT being so damn hard on yourself! (((((Brandi)))) I had the funniest comment today that took me totally aback. I was at the grocery store and the cashier commented on my outfit. SHe told me that I looked completely gorgeous. I then told her that the whole outfit shoes, dress, sweater cost me less than $20. She told me that I "looked like money"! lol...I cracked up. Then she told me that I was crazy and there was no way I bought the outfit for $20. I broke it down for her. She then asked me if I was a personal shopper because she wanted me to go shopping for her. I told her no, but she seriously asked for my number!! LOL....I gave her my work business card...lol....

I feel like I have 3 or 4 closets. I have the nice work clothes, the "extra nice" stuff for special events at work. I have the everyday stuff and then I have my pin up stuff, but 2 different levels there too...the slutty stuff and the good girl stuff....lol.... Is there a way to bring it ALL together??

Dear BG, I have bowling balls and I know how to use them... Sorry I am obvisouly full of something today!

Hi Lori Welcome! I hope the workout kicks your platue away. Must be nice to get to wait so long to start! lol....

I asked my Dr about removal after I got to goal, he asked me if I had ever dieted before and failed...well DUH...lol...then he asked me why would I cause another failure if I didn't have to? Yes, I would like to think I have learned a new way of life but to be honest the band keeps me straight. Why risk it? I was going to have all saline out, and then decided that too was a bad idea. I have had some taken out, but not all. I like my security blanket!

OH NO! I hope he is ok! Wasa please call me after you call and let me know how he is doing. He is such a sweetie.

YES, personal experience can give you a different perspective but so can education. I am so sick of people attacking one another. Wasa did nothing but point out to you that everything isn't so black and white as YOU have tried to make it! Reread your original post without blinders and maybe you will see that you spoke in very definative terms. That is not the case. But I am sure you will not take the time to do that, as from what I can see you are enjoying a good fight. Let me know when YOU personally have and MD degree and this maybe worth more to me.

Thanks! It feels great, it is amazing how much life I lost fat. Makes me sad. But I love it now! Just wait it is awsome!

I am in bed in Michigan in terrible pain unable to sleep AGAIN! In a bit I have to get up for work with no sleep...lol...

Ilene It gets better hunny! You will soon come to this place where you no longer think why can't I eat that, but WHY ARE THEY EATING THAT. You have set out to change your life forever, it is ok to be anxious, depressed or scared. It is all worth it! Hugs!

My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner. My life has changed so much now for the better, I get sad about all the years that were not so good. I wish I had the guts to do it years before, but alas everything happens for a reason. I love the "new me" and wouldn't go back for all the tea in China!

Bandiva--I am so sorry your mom is sick. I hope she is doing ok and things get better. Good luck on your health as well, sounds like you are going like me--to hell once you got skinny.... Take care of yourself!!

I am so sorry! I didn't mean to take your ball! ....so sorry I just couldn't resist this one! Next time, bitch slap....

lol...it did take awhile to get the stuff back off. I didn't feel the snow at all though! I was nice and toasty.

I am sorry this keeps happening to you! BUT f.y.i. here it is illegal to have a steel post for a mailbox. It needs to be break away for the reason if someone does hit it they won't get really hurt. I would hope who ever has done it would not be the same person! BUT they should fess up. I think they aren't thinking the cost is that high and think they can get away with it. Good luck.

Hey girls....just thought I would share these photos...I felt very bad for not taking Faith out to play. SO I did! BUT the catch was, I have nothing to wear so I had to wear DH's hunting stuff....rotfl....I look like the OLD fat me...lol... The snow wouldn't pack either, so we had a nasty little snow man she named Bob....lol.. Me, not so pin up like....lol....let the laughing commence! Bob.... (and Faith of course!)

BANNIE!! WOO HOO hot hot mama. My Dh saw your pics and he told me to tell you that you looked "Hot before" and now you are "Super Hot"! lol... look so good girl! Transformer--welcome back sweetie! We all missed you! :scales: Sorry no official weigh in, but that is ok! Go by how your clothes feel! Congrats on the new clothes! :eek: I have been up since 2 am. Pain keeping me up. Saw my Dr last night at Best Buy. Totally random and weird, lol....wasn't quite sure how to act. I will see him again in a few hours! Wish me luck, I feel awful. :*(

Hey girls, I am feeling a bit better today. The pain is and isn't band related they think! They are thinking it is either my gall bladder, pancreas or liver. All related to my rapid weight loss. SO NO, it isn't the band, but the fast weight loss! Go figure eh?? I am doing better but I haven't eaten yet. That is what makes it flare up big time. SO good thing that I am not hungry. How are you all doing on this lovely new year? We have about a foot of snow! PUKE! lol...Faith is sad, she wants to play outside but my parents have my oldest. LOL..Mommy is too mean I won't go out an play with her! :party: I am NOT a snow bunny at all! Love and hugs to my girls! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This time last year I was in an XL for the first time in 10 years. I was more than happy. I had no idea that the best was yet to come! I wish as well I had gotten the band a lot sooner! :scared: This is the first time in over 10 years my New Year's resolution will NOT BE to loose weight!! :mad:

Hi Geri, sorry! This thread is the ABC "August Band Crew" we were all banded last year! Search for "December Bandsters" in the search and you should be able to find someone! :scared: We are all old maids at this!

VA--Have fun at your party! WOO HOO! Brandi--I am sorry no party plans. I will be asleep by then I am sure! lol.. have fun with the Marine! :scared: Got a hell of a deal today girls! You know I love vintage, well at Goodwill I found a Jackie Kennedy style jacket. It is lambskin and mink!! It was hanging on the wall I asked the size and the girl told me, it was a Medium but it was about 50 years old so it was the size of a small now. SO I tried it on and it fits great! Even goes over the boobs and buttons!! WOO HOO!! It is black, I love it. $8.99!! NO JOKE! Never could ahve gotten that at a vintage store for less than $40 or more! I am so excited. I plan on wearing it with that new black dress to work. :mad: I am in a huge amount of pain. Went to Dr. They took tons of blood, ect. Not sure what is going on, maybe my gallbladder, liver or pancreas! On Wednesday I will be getting an ultrasound. Gave me Vicadin for pain....yucky, I will be doped out within 15 minutes of taking it...ugh... Happy New Year to all, have fun and be good all!

HELL NO, I never went to the gym! I was 320 pounds, NO way I was going to the gym. Somehow loosing the 20 pounds in pre op and 1st couple of weeks after surgery motivated me to go. Why being under 300 made it better I will never know. BUT it is a great stress reliever now!
