Guest guest Posted March 5, 1999 Report Share Posted March 5, 1999 Again, does the term " go for it " have hidden ambiguities that I do not know of? If I used the term i meant exactly.

Debi Mahler Mahler & Co. mahlerco@... 831 637-0632 ---------- To: Bandsters bandsters (AT) onelist (DOT) com> Subject: (no subject) Date: Thursday, April 01, 1999 3:12 AM Dear Bandies. The other day I went to the doctor and he weighed me. 72kgs...FULLY CLOTHED! I stared disbelievingly at the numbers. Could this be me? The doctor carried on afterwards about the pros and cons of the pill as birth control etc. but i didn't hear a word he said. I was still thinking about the scales. I used to read success stories of people who had lost weight with an appetite almost as voracious as the one I had at breakfast. Last October I would never have dreamed I would almost be in the 60kgs zone. Yesterday I went to the airport to pick up my husband from a business trip. Towards me walked a slim woman holding hands with a small child. I thought subconsciously to myself " Nice legs for a mum " . Then my heart actually did a little leap when I realised it was my and my daughter's reflections I was seeing in the windows at the end of the corridor. It has been cold here in Sydney all of a sudden and i had traded my baggy jeans for a pair of tights, finally revealing the full extent of my weight loss. My husband (who never gives his opinion on ANYTHING and that's how i like it!) actually let his jaw drop when he saw me. I look forward to the days like I never have before. I actually enjoy getting dressed. I no longer lock the door in the bathroom out of fear of my husband seeing me naked. I have so much more ENERGY. This is more than a weight loss for me. This is a complete body, mind and soul makeover. I am not religious at all but I thank " God " every day for giving me this new chance. I am still a " fatty " by society's standards. But by my own standards (the ones that really matter) I am the most beautiful thing that ever walked the earth. Steph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 1999 Report Share Posted April 1, 1999 That is wonderful - onya Steph. You have worked hard for that and I applaude you. I have finally got to the 100 kilo mark and for me that feels just as good. I wake up in the morning filled with hope. Finally the band is working for me. I had it tightened and I eat a lot more fish and chicken and fruit than I did. Yes, it does require discipline but it makes this whole business a lot easier. I feel like a normal eater now. For me this is a total lifestyle change not another diet. In fact if I avoid fats I can eat quite a lot. I am eating about 1000-1500 calories perday. Multiply that by 4.2 to get kilojoules.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 1999 Report Share Posted April 2, 1999 Dear Steph I actually shed a little tear at this post .... I'm so happy for you and the wonderful experiences you are going through. Long may they continue. BTW thank you for your advice, strangely I don't have a particularly big appetite now and I can only presume that the band will lessen it more, even in the first instance.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 1999 Report Share Posted April 2, 1999 Hi Lori! Now get this! I called my doctor back yesterday because she hadn't referred me to a specialist yet - I think that she thought that I would just forget about it. Anyways about ten minutes later she called me back and argued with me that I shouldn't even consider this - it's dangerous. Now so far, she has been the best doctor that I've ever had, but on the subject of weight loss, I think that she's way out in left field. Finally, she agreed to send me to a specialist (I can't get insurance coverage without a specialist behind me), but I think that it will take awhile. Meanwhile, my mother has the same doctor and told a mutual friend of ours that she was going to phone our doctor to get her to talk me out of all of this. Can you believe it? I'm 42 years old and my mommy doesn't want me to have this operation so she's going to try to call the whole thing off by calling my doctor and telling her that I'm not allowed to have it done.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Debie, I have an OpticPro model 483op. It's a great scanner for the price, I picked it up for $89.00, it usually sells for around $200.00 US. I developed a pattern database and needed to scan in all of my patterns. It works like a champ, I have over a 1000 patterns of all sizes and shapes and it scanned everyone of them. The software that controls it is very easy to use and understand. Let me know if you have anymore questions. T. >Terri: WElcome back!!

Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 Steph, I want what you've got..............well a male version anyway..... Syd.... (no subject) Dear Bandies. The other day I went to the doctor and he weighed me. 72kgs...FULLY CLOTHED! I stared disbelievingly at the numbers. Could this be me? The doctor carried on afterwards about the pros and cons of the pill as birth control etc. but i didn't hear a word he said. I was still thinking about the scales. I used to read success stories of people who had lost weight with an appetite almost as voracious as the one I had at breakfast. Last October I would never have dreamed I would almost be in the 60kgs zone. Yesterday I went to the airport to pick up my husband from a business trip. Towards me walked a slim woman holding hands with a small child. I thought subconsciously to myself " Nice legs for a mum " . Then my heart actually did a little leap when I realised it was my and my daughter's reflections I was seeing in the windows at the end of the corridor. It has been cold here in Sydney all of a sudden and i had traded my baggy jeans for a pair of tights, finally revealing the full extent of my weight loss. My husband (who never gives his opinion on ANYTHING and that's how i like it!) actually let his jaw drop when he saw me. I look forward to the days like I never have before. I actually enjoy getting dressed. I no longer lock the door in the bathroom out of fear of my husband seeing me naked. I have so much more ENERGY. This is more than a weight loss for me. This is a complete body, mind and soul makeover. I am not religious at all but I thank " God " every day for giving me this new chance. I am still a " fatty " by society's standards. But by my own standards (the ones that really matter) I am the most beautiful thing that ever walked the earth. Steph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
