What I know For Sure



Recommended Posts

I know that having this band is simple, but harder than I thought.

I know that I will succeed in loosing the weight this time.

I know that I am not patient.

I know that I feel much better being 46 pounds lighter than I was.

I know that I cannot do this alone.

I know that food is my enemy.

I know that even if I fall off the wagon today, tomorrow is a new day.

What do you know for sure?

Kim:

I know....

My daughter doesn't worry about me leaving this earth early because of morbid obesity.

My daughter is proud of me!

I will never be morbidly obese again.

I couldn't have done it without the band.

I feel 20 years younger since losing 100+ pounds.

I love being smaller than both of my sisters.

I have inspired people to be more active.

If they come up with the "magic pill" that allows me to eat whatever I want, I will take it because down deep I am still a food addict!

I will eventually reach my weight goal, but I am the size I want to be.

I know that I will never be thin, but average-sized is good for me.

I will get rid of this hanging skin on my abdomen some day.

That my Mom is in heaven saying "keep it up Honey, you will get there".

I actually like exercising, and love trikking!

That if I can do it, so can most of you!

Best wishes.

Sue

What I know for sure is.....

I know Lap Band was the best choice for me.

I know I have so much more movement range and energy now.

I know I've lost 111 pounds in 8 1/2 months!!!!!

I know I never thought I'd be exercising daily and even enjoying it on some days.

I know I never thought I'd be so thoughtful of what food I put in my body.

I know I'm less embarrassed now than I was at the same weight and lower when I was in my 20s.

I know this forum has saved me from failing many times and I really appreciate all of you.

I know I'm proud of myself for all the hard work I've done and all the positive, healthy changes I've made to my life.

I know I'm gonna need cosmetic surgery.

and last but not least... I know I'm gonna need new clothes again soon.

I know that I will forever be mindful of chewing...chew...chew...chew

I know that I could not have achieved the weight loss to date without the band.

I know that regardless of my success, I will always feel embarrased I let my body 'go' so far.

I know that I will eventually be the body size/weight combination with which I am happy.

I know that I should have done this several years ago.

I know that if there was a magic pill to cure my cravings for nuts, I would take it.

I know that my lifestyle changes will impact DH - and ideally mean we are together longer.

I know that my family are proud of my success to date.

I know that if anyone had said I would become 'a regular' at the Y and be there before 6am 4 days a week, I would not have believed them.

I know that I have to keep exercising, even though I do not enjoy it.

I know that I have tremendous respect for many of the people I have met on this forum, and that we would not have 'met' were it not for this band.
