I am a 34 year old working mom. I have 2 kids that are 6 and 7 (grade 1 and 2). I work with family. I have been struggling with my weight my whole life. I was always the cubby kids. I have done various things throu out my weight loss fight. I even resorted to taking laxatives for a year, which inturn caused me to have IBS and a spastic large bowl. I did loose 40 lbs,, but gained that back and more.

I want to be able to look in the mirror at myself, and feel good about what I see instead of getting totally disgusted. I have never liked what I saw.

I have been researching the slimband/lapband for a few years. I am sure this is the procedure for me. I just have to convience someone (my other half) which has never had a fat day in his slim life. He doesn't think it should be the difficult to loose weight. ..... ohhh to have that his problem having to worry.

thanks for the support. I sure am not getting too much here. I was at the gym today and my son did not want to stay, so after walking 1 mile we decided to leave. I was going to go back later today, but after hockey and a free skate it was 5:00pm and I just go home. I wasn't home all day and I just wanted to sit and do nothing, so Steve, my husband, decided to lecture me that I was not motivated enough.... .I was so made. I could have hit him. I told them it would be nice some moral support and encouragement from him, and that I have been at the gym a fair bit with no support from him. He doesn't help much with the kids. I am getting so frustrated.

We decided to have our own seperate bank accounts because I was tired of him bitching to me about spending money. SO if I decide to go ahead with this surgery I will do it with my own money which is perfect..... but I know he will be watching everything that goes in my mouth.

Oh well, at least I will be doing it for me not him... I am frustrated... 1 more month I am giving myself to see how I do on my own. I know this morning I took the kids to a community pancake breakfast for winter carnival and I ate 3 pancakes, 2 sausages and hasbrowns with no problem. I am suprised I wasn't even feeling full at that point in time. ..... oh my god.. I will say that it stayed with me until 3:30 this afternoon, and we ate at 8:30.

keep in touch and let us see some more progress on your weight loss.
