Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hello Everyone! Well I am new here! Last night I was looking for support groups on ways to loose weight but in a healthy way. I don't use diet pills, and never will. I like exercise when I actually do do it. I like the thought of eating good food that is healthy for you. I don't like diets! lol. So anyways a lil more about me would be I am 22 will be 23 on the 7th this month! Yay me! I have been married 5 yrs to my husband who at one time was annorexic(sp) and is now up to 165! Its taken him these past 5 yrs but he has done it! I am so proud of him! I am 5'3 and 284lbs, so obviously I don't have a problem eating the food, just eating the wrong things and too much! Anyways I am glad to be here and hope to find the encouragment and some guidence too in what this is all about because it seems like something I could do. I have been looking up doing the Lap Band but then I got the idea that someone could use the same principles of how that system works without having to have it done! So here I am to see if this is right for me because it sounds about the same. Like recognising when your full or hungry and eating good foods that will help you with that! -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Welcome , Hope you will treat yourself to finding out more about Intuitive Eating so that you can get a better start with it too. There's a Book List in the Files section here at the site (left column) to look at and print out too so that you can take it to your local library as well. Lap Band is just NOT a good idea - way too many potential problems/side effects AND it does not deal with the underlying CAUSE of weight either. IE may be a slow process, but in the long run you will be much better off health wise as well as turning your (young!) life back over to yourself too. Best to you, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > Hello Everyone! > > Well I am new here! Last night I was looking for support groups on ways to loose weight but in a healthy way.
