[Guest guest]

I haven't been to the mad MB in a while but life's too short to worry about internet drama and other people's judgement of your bandworthiness. It's only you you have to live with. I have had my band for almost a year and have lost over 30 kilos. I got banded despite knowing that I had a binge-eating disorder. I figured it would help with quantity. I'm not an ice-cream fiend but I am a chocolate junkie. I didn't diet or exercise like I should have or I might have lost more. My loss was purely from restriction and not self-discipline. The weight loss has halted now after a partial unfill so I'm going to have to look at going on a diet for the first time in a while. I dunno however. I'm highly suspicious of diets but I would like to lose another 30 kilos. We are all different and don't bother comparing yourself to somebody who is a perfect bandster. I am often a total screw up and the band has worked for me.

- I want to wish you a happy (belated) birthday and tell you how much I appreciate you. Purely from a selfish point of view, your words on the screen are so often very helpful for me. I think you are wise and supportive and and all round lovely and amusing human being.

Danna - I'm happy you have restriction again. Won't be seeing you this week as I'm working evenings at the moment (4pm -9pm). Did I tell you I got a promotion? It was supposed to be a 'filler' job before my trip and damn if I'm not enjoying it and earning more money than before. I feel a bit dishonest for not telling them right from the start that I'm leaving in August but screw it, I need the extra money for my trip. I'll give 'em 4 weeks' notice.

Mel, I read with interest about your trip to Italy. Too bad you were robbed but you need a few travel stories like that up your sleeve.

Angel (it's you right) - you are amazing. I bet you never thought you could run that far. Maybe you should start training for a half-marathon or marathon.

Back to lurking
