Thanks BG,

I'd be happy with a two pound loss so I could say it's an even 100# for 2007.

I'm working on getting my head out of my ass about eating crap. Today's perspective (I've been up for all of 2 hours) is better than the last couple of weeks. Yesterday I was writing on LBT on some thread about being comitted to losing...and I thought I needed to pay attention to my own words.

I hope to keep the focus clear for a while.

Happy Wednesday.

Honestly now that I hit 199 my outlook is a bit better. My eating has been better, though mostly because of the inability to eat before I have been up for 8 or so hours. coffee has helped too because it kills my appetite. I have been shooting for 3500 calories burned on my bodybugg because I know it will be damn hard for me to eat that much crap.

Hey Gang - sorry i haven't written in a while - just been in a big fucking funk & not wanting to share that vibe... Mostly pissed at myself for not exercising enough. With the BB, you'd think it would be easier - I know, with certainty, that I'm not burning enough calories. Why is it so damn hard, then to get on the bike, the treadmill, the weight bench, go for a walk, whatever the fuck to get the calorie burn where it should be... Anyway. Also need to lay off the starbucks. Do many calories, way too much sugar. Had to start taking insulin again. Anyway - enough of that happy crappy...

For my wonder twin power - "Form of a skinny bastard", followed closely by "Form of a winning lottery ticket" :)

BG - Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JC - Glad to see you back. Glad also to hear that the churning of the butter continues :)

TX - Way to go on the bike riding! Did you get any snow on Thanksgiving - was at my folks in Hurst and it snowed for several hours - big fluffy cotton ball flakes. Too warm to stick, but it was pretty.

Thanks B, somebody has to do it!

J, I am a DORK I knew exactly what you were talking about referencing the Wonder Twins (That was my favorite cartoon at one time). I also I also uh Geocache. I guess that makes me a DorkGeekNerd.

I can't tell you guys how excited I am for BG's AWESOME accomplishment. YOU ROCK GIRL!!! I needed some uplifting weight loss victory news.

The holiday season is difficult with or without the band. Better with the band. There are just so many distractions, people coming out of the woodwork wanting a slice of your time and the insanity of the over abundance of food, not to mention the emptiness associated with missing so many loved ones.

I have been down because I haven't lost as much as I wanted to, then I reminded myself that I am kicking ass and don't even look or feel like the same person from just a year ago.

I seriously like the idea of the muddybuddy. I have not jogged in weeks, however I am staying active. Just not Modified Japanese Mach III worthy active.

My knew GF has agreed to start the Couch-2-5K so I am encouraged. It's probably good that I have backslid a little so that I am not as intimidating. Sometimes people don't mesh to the point of wanting to change the other. I told her she doesn't have to do every crazy thing that I do as long as she understands that it is part of my new life and she supports my need to stay active.

OK, back to work! Hope everyone is well.

JC

hehe, I at least know what Geocache means and yes, that gives you the Uber Geek Dork Nerd Master title.

Starbucks can be done, but you've got to be a pain in the ass and order non-fat milk, sugar free syrups...I can go on about the social implications of Starbuck Speak, but I'll spare you. Still unless you are drinking coffee or espresso black it's not guilt free.

I personally find the BB more annoying than helpful. It really turned for me when their rep told me that all nutrition labels lie. I'm like WTF is the point of keeping track. I need to not let some person towing the company line (blame something not the BB for a person's failure) mess with what I know to be te trurth. That is that essentially nutrition labels are acurate and it's a person's honesty that messes up the equation.

Also, I'm pretty sure my metabolism is jacked up, because I don't lose a pound for every 3500 saved. I just don't. I'm getting back to basics and trying to go super low calorie here after my fill to see how that works.

Love you guys.

      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.
