My weight has stayed they same, Although I am so pleased I have not gained I am a little disappointed I have not lost....and then when I think about it I have no right to be disappointed as I have not been putting any kind of effort into getting this weight of, I am banded shouldn't it just come of itself??? LOL NO. I have been eating what I wanted when I wanted, (if bitchy lets me) What I mean is, I have not put much effort in to choosing and making right choices, salads.....great!!!! but with lashings of mayo, vegetables.....wonderful!!!! but with butter, and exercise......practically none.
The sun is shining and the S.A.D seems to have moved on for a while at least, I have found some energy and now need to put it to good use. I have started to make what little garden we have look a little acceptable, kids toys all over, we still have old carpet and lino to be taken to the dump, pots hanging around just waiting for me to make a start and pot the bedding plants, so much to do and so little enthusiasm.
I watched a program on t.v last night about a 15 year old girl who weighed in at 33 stone. 462 lb or 210 kg. My heart went out to her, she had many emotional problems which played their parts into her gaining so much weight. But I have to say fair play to her and a massive well done as she went to the U.S to a camp for overweight kids by the end of the program she had lost 12 stone. I have the utmost respect and admiration for this young girl, she was a model student in the camp and even went home for Christmas and had lost another 5lb by the time she got back to camp. My only concern is that she is able to keep this weight of, all the hard work she has put into losing weight, it's such a shame she will have to work so hard for the rest of her life and battle with the demons that got her there in the first place. I would love for the film makers to visit her in another year.

Hello my lovely,
I caught the end of the same programme. I saw the bit where she spoke to her mum about how the arguments made her feel. I too would like to see a follow on programme. Well done you for staying the same... better than gaining.
How about meeting for coffee? I'll email you.
:o)

I do enjoy follow-up programmes on people, I really hope we see her after another 12 stone...
Wish I didn't live so far away, I'd love to meet you both for coffee... I bet we'd have a good laugh!

Time for an update Missy!!!!
How's things Zena? Please don't leave blogging if you're not doing well with the band - here's when we all need each other more than ever, don't you think?

Hey Zena how are you? Come and share with us all. The beauty is we have been banded too so most of the time we know what it is like to go from the good and bad of being banded.
I hope all is well and you are just busy enjoying life.
Take care Tina:O)
I think I might have seen that program on the 15yr old as well! I think most of us have had emotional problems to get where we are! I like your blog! Check mine out www.ladylapband.com
Zena - how's it going, is the band helping you? Love to hear from you... not forgotten....
