A few things

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

/// Someone here on the list (Marina?) mentioned a long plateau ///

Yes, it's me Debie. I'll have a check by x-ray on Monday and hopefully

a fill. But since January, I had a fill too, once, and it lasted a few

weeks when I could eat very little (before they had to even deflate the

band because it became too tight after an irritation). And during all

this time I haven't lost half of a pound. :-( Now it drives me

crazy. Let's hope I'll be off the plateau soooooooon. As I have

mentioned a few times, the band doesn't do all by itself, and my problem

is probably much deeper in my mind. It's like a part of me doesn't

want to lose weight anymore ... That's why I'm desperately lookingn

not only for a psych, but for one who is used to deal with eating

disorders.

/// Anyone else having a trouble dealing with hard to kill habits??? ///

Dear ,

Is there not a stronger word than " trouble " for that in English ?

Cheers,

Marina, Switzerland

Hi Marina,

good luck with the fill on Monday...and with your on-going search for a

psychiatrist....
