Denise, bulimic? Really? very strange ..... I guess I'll have to read the thread, but tomorrow because I feel like crap. I can't eat today. I just simply can't. I sure hope it is the altitude thing because I do not want to do the unfill thing again. For the next 3 days I go down in elevation to 6,000 ft. for work. I will see if I can eat at lunch, but then I come back home at night to 8,500 ft. I don't know if I have any swelling going on. I'm going to see how things go tomorrow. I'm off to sleep because I'm beat with no fuel going in.

Wow. I guess you do get faster promotions if you weigh less. I always thought that was bunk. Congrats!!

moobs

November 6, 2007 Urban Word of the Day

A combination of the words "man" and "boobs." This is what happens when fat gathers in a male's chest area, and gives him the appearance of having breasts. Usually seen in overweight males, but can strangely also occur in men who are not really overweight.

"Those moobs are quite sizable."

"Indeed."

LOL BOB! You freaking crack me the hell up!

Shammah-CONGRATS on the promotion!!!

Awww...Thanks Leigha...and an FYI...from Dictionary.com

Bulimia:

An eating disorder, common especially among young women of normal or nearly normal weight, that is characterized by episodic binge eating and followed by feelings of guilt, depression, and self-condemnation. It is often associated with measures taken to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting, the use of laxatives, dieting, or fasting. Also called bulimarexia , bulimia nervosa .

I don't think that applies to trying to get unstuck. Never felt guilty, nor have I condemned myself!

I agree--that is the bad thing about forums--all you get are words and they can be intepreted so many ways.

Yes Bob I am pretty positive my promotion has to do with weight loss, not all but some.

ThanksKaren Leigha--skinny maybe, rich NOT, but I can am going to work the raise!:)

Gosh, it really stinks that the one place we all go to for support has to be tarnished with some negative nellies.

So kind of NSV, I went to support group last night and of course did a weigh in since it's been awhile. Ahh, how I missed that beloved Tanita scale...NOT!! Anyway, my fat percentage is in NORMAL range! That little item "fat to lose" that once was 90 lbs was 6!!!! 6 lbs of fat to lose! I thought there was a number missing! I guess I may not be losing the weight as fast as I used to, but it's reconfiguring the right way! 6 lbs of fat left to lose?!? Doesn't seem possible when I have 20 left until goal, but I'll take it LOL! (I am sure 10 of it is extra freaking skin though LOL)

Just wanted to share!

I think I was right. I am very sensitive to altitude. I was able to start eating a little and drinking more slowly through the day. Now I really think the same thing may have happened when I had an unfill last time. We had been at a lake 2 days Memorial Day weekend and I couldn't eat all weekend. This past weekend we had been at a lake Saturday and a drive even higher on Sunday.

I lost 5 pounds over it which takes me to that magic number..........100 ! Need to change the ticker! Whoo!

Congrats on the century mark Shammah and Crystl!!!!!

That is always the 2nd best goal. The best being your final goal.

Leigha, I don't have nearly as much patience as the guy in those e-mails but I was cracking up reading them.

BTW, that looks like my cat.

Hmmm...that is still questionable...define "normal" especially since you still talk to us :mad:. You are doing awesome!! CONGRATS! And congrats to all you century markers.

Karen-congrats on the 6lbs of fat :eek:

Shad-Congrats on the promotion. Yay more new clothes!!

Karen! Well done!! woot woot!

Shad..congrats on the promotion!! Just in time as you turn the century corner!

HB..WOW on the 100 mark. That is fan-bloody-tastic! Glad you are feeling better.

Leigha, that link was hysterical.

I think I am finally due for a fill. It has been since last August. My weight is starting to creep up and I seem able to eat a bit more. 'Course it could be a reaction to the stress of the MIL situation. But nearly a year seems about right for a lil top off.

I find I get on the scale and see the number, and am coming up with things like, oh, I had soy sauce. Oh, I had a cold. Oh, TOM coming -- bloated. More excuses than days my weight is where I want it to be. Bad trend, that. So, appears to be time!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
