Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Actually, the wine may have you retaining a bit of water too. You are human, not a dumb shit, if you were you would not be here posting your " confession " . And honestly, I am jealous that you had the wine LOL Just 10 more days until I have the baby though!!!! @...: moonshadow.sandy@...: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 18:16:29 +0000Subject: Re: My Limitations Ken, I don;t know about you, but ** I ** took a very long time to gainweight and learn all my bad habits. You might have too. :-)We can't expect to be able to change them overnight. We are all humanand aLL GOOF, and will never be perfect-We need to learn to be gentle and forgiving with ourselves. most of ushave a very poor self-image after years of obesity in a cruel world.One of the very impt things with banding is to change that, feelconfident and self-loving again, and then we are much less likely towant to hurt ourselves with poor habits.I feel strongly that we all need to be working with a good therapiston these issues. the band itself does nothing at all to change mentalattitudes, and emotional eating/food issues. We have to work on thoseourselves, and a good therapist is invaluable. Mine sure was. Thisextremely important area is one that is greatly UNDERemphasized. Please try your best to weight only weekly. All we are aFTER IS FATLOSS, and a gradual downward trend over time. Weighing daily measurtesonly hydration levels, bowel status, salt levels, and other uselessthings that that only depress us.Turkey is very salty, and your weight " gain " is likely only fluidweight and will be gone soon. as far as the white wine, a glass or two occasionally is fine - and isthe lowest calorie drink we can choose.so keep the faith, don't beat yourself up, and keep learning a bitmore every day.Sandy>> Well I tryed living a little the other day and didnt eat anything too > bad really but drank more then a few glasses of white wine.

I'm Glad to here that your limitations are putting on the weight. These way you and I will not do that again. There are ways to eat around the band and you and I now know why you can't do it. It well put your weight back on. Good Luck and stay strong Randy C > > Well I tryed living a little the other day and didnt eat anything too > bad really but drank more then a few glasses of white wine.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sorry about that, here is what I actually wrote: Ken, I already have a 4 year old daughter and yes indeed it is the greatest thing ever...MOST days As for losing constantly, well, that just does NOT happen. In my experience in losing weight with and even without the band it comes off and then the body takes a break to adjust to everything and then gets back to losing again. Just stick with it and if you feel like something isn't right then reaccess what you are eating, drinking, and what activity you are getting. Most of all, keep in touch with your support! _________________________________________________________________ Proud to be a PC? Show the world.
