"Devine Intervention"!

[oldiebutgoodie2 11]

I went on a 5-day vacation to where I used to live for a friend's Mom's 90th b'day party. Saw a lot of friends I hadn't seen in awhile, and definitely not since being banded about 2 months ago. Everyone knew about the band and I got gobs of compliments of how well I was doing and how good I looked. I came home tonight and was so excited. With all the compliments, I was sure I lost 3 or 4 more pounds! (how silly is that??!). I shouldn't have, but I got on the scale, only to learn I GAINED a pound from when I left on my trip. I was so depressed, I said f... it! and started for the kitchen to get something illegal when a phone call stopped me.....

The lady having the party for her Mom called me to tell me again how great I looked, that I am an inspiration, keep up the good work, on and on and on! I call that devine intervention! Instead of running into the kitchen, after the phone call, I came back to my trusty Lap Band Talk and read and read and got inspiration and motiviation, as I always do when I come visit my fellows bandsters!

Thank you thank you thank you. Good luck to you all. Believe in devine intervention! :-)

That made me smile . Thanks for posting. One pound isn't all that bad. You can take it back off. Keep up the good work!

I got on the scale this a.m. and was down 2, for a net loss of 1. You were right! And by the way, I am so totally amazed and imspired by YOUR weight loss! Expect to see your victory dance soon! Early congrats!! What a journey!
