Embarrassed

[Guest guest]

EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LAST 11 YEARS WE NEED TO AIR OUR

DIRTY LINEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND LOOK AS PROFESSIONAL AS POSSIBLE IN

PUBLIC OR WE WON'T HAVE A PROFESSION. WE ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN OUR OWN

WORSE ENEMY. I BELIEVE WE WOULD BE AMAZED HOW FAR WE COULD GO IF WE EVER

UNITE OURSELVES AND UNITIFY IN THE PUBLIC ARENA. ABOUT YOUR FRESHMAN REP.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AS CHIRO-FUSIOUS ONCE SAID YOU CAN DO A 1,000

RIGHTS BUT DO ONE WRONG AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR "

TAKE CARE ALL,

Steve,

I couldn't agree more. How do we accomplish it?

I need a fill, but I am embarrassed to go get it. I was doing really well. And then the holidays hit and I told the family we are not going to deprive ourselves, we will enjoy the holidays and after the first of the year we will get back on our healthy plan. I did ok, of course I can't eat as much as I used to be able to in holidays past, but the sugar, the mashed potates with real butter and heavy cream, the gravies, the simple carbs. Even eating small portions catches up to you, plus the lack of exercising (this time of the year, i might as well live at work), lack of sleep, etc all adds up. I only gained about 5 lbs back. But now I feel like I'm eating too much, even if it is healthy. But since I haven't lost any significant weight since my last fill, I'm embarrassed to see the Dr. and admit that I'm not doing well. Sometimes I feel the restriction, but most of the time I don't.

We should have stayed the course through the holidays, but it is difficult to have company and not make that food they are so used to. My boys grew up with all kinds of home made goodies (breads, desserts, candies, etc).

Maybe if i just get some support I'll feel better and maybe that's just all i need. I only have about 30 pounds left to go before my goal. I was hoping to get there by March, but that looks a little unrealistic now.

HI,

GO SEE the doctor. If your car was not running right you wouldn't think twice to take it in and have it checked out--and fixed. So your body isn't doing well right now and you need to take it in and have the expert check it out. You have your lap band and it is a tool to allow you to get where you want to be. USE that tool. You are human and it is easy to take a few steps backwards--forgive yourself and move on. Maybe this next holiday you can start a new tradition and that is show your boys how to do the holiday's in a more healthier way. A sliver of cake or what ever you are eating is great--not a piece of cake or bread. Teach them how to have a healthy lifestyle and it will last them a lifetime.

You haven't done anything that other people haven't already done. You can get back on track. You have to love yourself enough to want the very best for yourself. Put yourself first instead of everyone and everything else. Repeat after me--- I NO LONGER have the disease to PLEASE. This means that you will always come first. So you have a whole year on working on how are you going to deal with the holiday's for 2009. One day at a time. If you don't have those foods in your home then it isn't as easy to eat them. Maybe your boys can have some special foods at Grandma's house or some place special other than at your home. Make is a point to find some new recipes that will satisfy your food cravings or needs during the holidays.

But what is most important is to take your body into the doctor and get that tune-up that you need. It is like asking your body to do something and your body doesn't have the ability to do it at this time until you get your fill. You can do this because look how far you have already come.

Let us know when you get the fill. We all wish you the very best.
