| Big Loser |  Not what I was expecting But then again, when is it ever? I heard a saying: Serenity is in inverse proportion to expectations. That's me for sure. The more I expect results, try to manipulate, control...the faster the head squirrels run. When I just turn a blind eye to everything and do what I need to do, I'm much happier. Hard to do after having to lose so much weight and relearning how to eat. There's always that lingering fear of losing control and gaining back the weight. But, seriously, each and every one of us is a diet expert and we know or are getting to know our bodies. We know what we should and shouldn't eat, how much exercise we need. For me, I just need to not stick junk in my mouth. I won't count cals/gms/measure...drives me insane. Hell hath no fury like a woman at 3pm with only 200 cals left for the day! So, I lost two pounds,but am up 1 from the 171 where I started. Go figure. Oh well, I gotta do what I gotta do. Sanely. No trying to trick the body with fasts or quick start diets. I really am in this for the long haul. I don't want to go back to yo yo behavior where I eat more than I should, then diet, repeat. No more wide pendulum swings, driving myself into a compulsive frenzy. It may take a little longer and require some patience, but eat and exercise in moderation, make good choices for my body, and it will get to where it needs to be. Now you gotta know it's not as easy as it sounds. The old me is screaming, I want it NOW!!!! Vicki |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |
