I'm sorry you have so many worries. I hope you can work them out.

WasA, what problems were you having with your band? I've always appreciated your honest, tell it like it is posts so I hope you don't mind sharing here or directing me to a thread where you discuss it.

Where can I get the Big Book? Can you do OA without attending meetings or is the support the vital part? I don't know if I'm ready for a meeting in public.

I feel like I've tried everything to get over it, yet here I am still struggling. And I'm the same way with the 100 calorie packs. I buy the doritos one and just keep eating them. Bleh.

I think you answered your own question. And, I'm saying this as someone who is in the same exact position so I totally understand and I'm not chastizing. I wish we could figure out how to follow the rules so we could lose as fast as others. I've been working on this for so long and I just can't get my head on straight about it! These boards are good for finding encouragement, answers, and some inspiration.

I was wondering about WasABubbleButt, too. Has she left the forums? She always gave it to you straight and I liked that.

How far away from goal are you? I remember seeing your posts in other threads. Did you make it half-way then slow down considerably?

I had a great experience in Mexico.

Have you tried varying the amount of calories each day? I've heard that works for some.

Just bumping...

Yeah, I can see that point. I've just seen some successful weight loss from people who have adopted this policy so I was wondering if it worked for anyone else. It doesn't work for me because I can't seem to get back on track after a free day.

I have to agree about exercise. I do so much better when I do it.

I definitely belong here. Nice to have this thread!

Hey all. I'm single, never married, no kids. I'm on my way to being the crazy cat lady!!! Nice to be here.
