July Butterflies Master Thread

[1day at a time 2]

When I was making bad food choices it was out of want not need. I would eat even when I wasn't hungry just because I wanted it. It can consume you, and still battle it everyday

I do the same thing as you but no brain surgery for me. I am just going to try to learn how to deal with it. But it has been a battle.

Donna and Orea...........where are you????? How is is going? Miss ya!!!!!!!!!!

[kimaly 57]

Ladies, I have never asked anything from you before but I am asking for your help now. Not for myself but for Orea, she is always there for any and all of us when we need an encouraging word or just a shoulder to cry on. Right now she is very worried about her DH and his job prospects. I was thinking maybe tomarrow at 3 O'clock, being that it's mothers day and all. We could take just one minute out of our own lives to pray for her to who ever you may pray to in hopes that her hubby will get a good job offer. And all will be good for her and her family. We stick togather and we should prey togather. I beleave good things can and will happen. So deal? know matter what your doing tomarrow at 3 O'Clock we bow our heads and send her our prayers and love OK?

OH! and Happy mothers day to all.

:tt2: Hi everybody. It's been quite awhile since I've written. Been having a terrible time updating my tickler, but I think I finally have it. I guess I've been like everyone else about having a sweet tooth. I've tried to only eat the SF stuff but I know that's still not good for you. Maybe it's the weather change or the time of year. It could be we are just getting bored with our eating change. I have decided to start a journal on Monday (Mother's Day is going to blow it). My sweet husband always cooks me steak and lobster. What a guy! I guess I'm like many of you with the bat wings. Thank goodness for three-quarter sleeves.

I wish I could exercise more. I have a vertebrate in my lower back that is sideways. Hurts most of the time, so most exercise is out. I went to physical therapy and it nearly killed me. I see my back surgeon next week. Oh joy!

Well hang in there guys, we've come to far to backout now.

Hope every mom out there has a great day!

Thanks kimaly, and I will say my prayer at 3.

I will say my prayer at 3 for Orea. Kimaly, you are a very thoughtful person to initiate this. I have not posted here in quite awhile. I am an original "butterfly" and used to post when we were all first banded. I have done really well. Lately, I feel as though I want to be more part of the band community. Non-bansters just don't understand some of the things we go through. I hope that you wonderful group of woman don't mind if I join back in. Have a great day!

Hi Barb, Yes you can come back. You will always be a butterfly. I am so glad you have done so well. Are you struggling with anything right now? If you are just post it and we will all respond.

No, I am not struggling with anything right now. I am slowly getting used to myself and the attention I get at 120 lbs lighter. I have gotten pretty used to living and eating in the "Bandster" lifestyle. I just want to have better connection to fellow bansters like in Janet's thread. It is nice to feel like you belong and know others who have gone through the same thing and have to eat a certain way. Hope everyone has a great day! :mad2:

AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS! How many calories do you eat in a day? I need a jump start. Just wanted to know what you eat in a typical day.

Hello everyone. Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I will try to check in more often.

Barb I am glad you are doing so well and we are all here if you would like to talk and share.

Donna where have you been? Is everything going well for you? I was used to seeing you often and I had not seen you for a while.
