I cheated the system....starting over..wish me luck!

[KRZYGIRLNSTL 0]

Well I was banded June 2 and my starting weight was 380 nand im floating between 346-348. Ive had 2 fills. I really starting going back into the rut of eating what i wanted, and even when my band stopped me i still continued to drink and "force" the food down. What was i thinking? I went to the store and thought id find some clothes to wear and noticed i can officially buy one pants size smaller....then i realized that it was only one pants size and by now i should be like 3 pants sizes smaller.

Needless to say im depressed over this whole thing. I need some motivation. I just got married September 17th so my husband kept telling me i was cheating the system because i was so stressed out over the wedding. I think he was right in alot of ways, but now the wedding is over and what is my excuse?

So the past like 3 days ive been watching tv and last night i realized something...i was watching a show on the "half ton man" while i was eating ice cream, i watched "the biggest loser" while i was eating chili mac, There was a show about a 627 pound woman and i was stuffin my face with a double cheese burger....

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

So today i decided is the day, last night i told my hubby i was going to make today the day and he said "good baby" and thats what he always said...what makes last night diff than all the ather nights ive told him im gonna do it....

Well im at a breaking point...i dont want to be fat anymore...i didnmt have this surgery for nuthin!

As im writing this im drinkin MY FIRST EVER Protein shake and if i knew it tasted this good i would have done it along time ago! This tastes like a real chalc milk shake!!!!

Anyway thanks for listening........would love to hear im not the only one doing this.....ive missed all of you and now im back!

Hi, I confess that I have been eating ice cream before bed. I KNOW I shouldn't do that. I KNOW if I don't do that, I will lose weight more quickly. Thanks for being honest and bringing our own habits to our attention. Cindy

Hey I watched all those shows to. Nothing like those chaulk milk shakes. Slimfast Optima is good, vanilla and cappaccino (sp)

You can still eat your favorietes, I jsut substitue. For ice cream it is low fat or , crushed graham crackers, yogurt mixed in coolwhip and topped with strawberries or fat free caramel or chocolate fudge. For chili mac, I love browned ground turkey, onions, pego spaghetti sauce and Pasta. Double cheeseburger, that is a hard one because I don't do burgers well, but a turkey meatloaft (which is a little loser or moister)melted shredded cheese, ketchup and mustard. Uuummmm you are making me hungry.

If you substitue one of your meals for a shake you knw you will see more weight lost. come on get on the band wagon. You have done well this far don't fall back. I haven't even drop a size just pounds and pounds of "fat back". I didn't relize how much fat I could carry on my back. LOL

Come on Krystal, do it, do it, do it, do it., YEAHHHHHHH Krystal

Hey hey hey are we making excuses..... you haven't even tried any of them. Well I live in MD and I will be glad to show you skills in cooking. Everyone has liked those things that I have prepared. My feelings are hurt.

You would be surprised at how good the coolwhip and yogurt is. You don't have to use graham crackers just do the coolwhip like icecream. Mix in your favorite yogurt. Lemon, strawberry, peach or banana are all so good. I am going to get the yoplait chocolate whip and try that one.

Are you really gonna let you treat you like that? No way! would you let anyone else talk so mean to you or criticize you for eating not so perfect foods on occasion? This band is for life, that means changes for life, but not all in one day. You are doing fantastic and you are showing awareness of food intake. Look at how much weight you've already lost. If it makes you feel any better, I'll confess this to you. Last week our area was awaiting the arrival of hurricane Rita- I live just outside Houston and the evacuation left our city gridlocked for days and the stores ran out of food and all closed their doors on Thursday evening. I mean all stores! No gasoline anywhere, and the banks ran out of money on Wednesday and closed the doors. I had stocked up on non-perishables- you know, the "good" stuff. Peanut Butter, cheese crackers, Cookies, cakes, only the really "necessary" stuff. The show you mentioned about Patrick the 1/2 ton man and the show before about the 627lb. women were on in my living room too. Wanna know what I was eating? Well only the neccessary Protein found in a large amount of peanut butter mixed with an equal amount of strawberry jelly, I cantget bread down. This was followed with more strictly needful things such as cheepuffs and more snack food. Don't beat yourself up for learning a lesson along the way. You are going to succeed! I'm crossing my fingers and saying a prayer for you.
