Crazy??

So we all have those people in our lives, whether close or not, that think WLS is a crazy option.  I recently had another issue with someone at work.  It is a drastic decision, yes, but crazy – not really.  It got me to thinking and then I came across this link today.

So really is the LapBand or other WLS really that crazy – no, it is a tool, I eat 1200 to 1500 calories a day, and am not constantly in starvation mode.  While it is surgery and aside from those associated risks, I don’t think it is that much worse for you then some of the diets listed in the link (admittedly, I have tried more than one of them).

Challange Weigh-In #3

Urgh - we were running late for school this morning so I completely forgot to take a pic.  I was at 214 so only down -.6. Not the best. 

I saw 211 on Sat but I ate way to much yesterday. 

Weekend Recap and some pics!

One of my good friends came in from Boston to baptize her baby girl Lily.  Here is Mya and I.....

Us with baby Lily - she was totally done with pics then.....

My adorable lunch date!!!! <3

I actually went out Saturday night!  I got invited out by one of the moms on Mya's team.... totally self conscious because they are all skinny and hot.  I almost didn't go because of how bad I was feeling about myself...  but glad I did.  Had tons of fun!  Not really used to drinking anymore though :)

Challenge weigh in #3

BYOC

Brought to us by the amazing Draz!!

1. Do you have any siblings? What is your relationship with them? Good, bad, ugly?

I have a younger brother.  We do not really have a relationship as he is an addict and in prison.

2. Let’s talk pizza. Do you prefer homemade or restaurant? What toppings are your fave?

I am not a huge fan of pizza but I like papa john’s thin crust veggie.  

3. When is the last time you cried – in sadness and in joy?

In sadness – a few weeks ago when I learned my BFF was moving…. No idea when I have cried tears of joy.

4. Do you own a gun – one that is specifically yours? Do you know how to use it?

Nope – they scare me!!  Lots of people in AZ carry them though.

5. Repeat question. Summarize your week!

Work, work, work….  Nothing exciting, just the daily grind.

Why I am not losing like I should……

I feel the need to write this down so that I can see it in black and white.  

(1)    Not following the bandster rules for eating.  I am eating too fast and too much.

(2)    Not getting enough protein.

(3)    Not exercising.

(4)    Lack of water.

(5)    SLIDER FOODS!!!!

(6)    Allowing myself things I know I should not have – diet soda.  While that itself may not be horrible, it is the fact that I had rock hard will power and now I am slipping.

These are in no order and out there now…..  Let’s get back on track now!
