waynooo

What got me through it was changing my routine. I had not realized that I did certian things that I associated with smoking. So instead of hanging out with my buddies at lunch I went to my office and closed the door. I told every one that I was not intending to be rude but i just had to get away from them for awhile. It helped along with zyban, I have been smoke free for 9 years now! Good luck, Wayno:thumbup:

Yes the thread is "I hate fat people" one of my favorites! It really gets you thinking about the emotional blocks that we have put up. That thread was a real eye opener for me. The OP of this thread is a bit more clinical and has alot less tact than the other thread. I recommend the read it is a good one, it was started several years ago and has continued on.

Congrats, we have a similar weight starting out. Keep us posted on your journey.

Thanks, Makes alot of sense. Congrats on your NSV!

I agree Elfie, will some one please translate NSV?

I go to true results in Scottsdale on the 31st for my initial screening. There are several other people on the board from Az. If you click on my name it will take you to my wall, or what ever it is, there is an az group on there. What insurance do you have? I am ready to go, but still have a couple months left on the PCP diet. Good luck!

I feel like a well oiled machine! Eating machine that is:laugh:. I cant seem to get my appetite under control. I am only one month in but still nothing! I am doing allot of research on the band reading allot of posts on eating habbits after the band. I am mentally preparing but dang! Having a hard time with the physical preparedness. I have phentermine pills at home, but they make me goofy as all get out. Maybe I should take them over the weekend to try to get a jump start. Any suggestions? :smile2:

Wow, what a great thread. Glad to see that I am not alone in my thoughts and perceptions of my self. I have to make myself see me as fat. I know I am but every time I look at myself in the mirror I dont see that. I see the healthy guy I use to be. I have a long way to go, both physicaly and mentally.

Thank you LilMiss as you'll see, I already ate the dinner theres nothing left but me! :ohmy: Winner, winner, winner! (Reminds of the Carnival)

Winner winner chicken dinner! What did I win? A post pad?????:thumbup:

Congrats!!

Ewww, thats pretty bad. Watch what you drink and where you slime.

Woke up this morning and took a phentermine and man do I feel loopie!

Your last sentence is classic! Thanks for the laugh, and congrats on the date!
