| Big Loser |  An affair to remember I know this is an inane post, but I just gotta tell you. I am so incredibly in love with food now. I thought I was in love with food before, but looking back on it I was in love with eating and it didn't matter what it was and I rarely even remembered it 5 minutes later. Who needs tastebuds? Anything creamy, fatty, salty, crunchy...and the more, the better. I just had 1/3 bagel (I cut it the horizontally three ways...but usually I omit it altogether) with f/f cream cheese, smoked salmon, purple onion, vine ripened tomatoes and capers. I swear, at the first bite, had it been a man, I would have bonked him! I don't gobble anymore, swallowing before I've finished chewing, fork halfway to my mouth before I've swallowed. I actually put down the fork and savor. Probably the fork would fall out of my hand if I didn't put it down LOL! It's obscene to love food so much. If you had told me "I will show you a way that you love your food a thousand times over and youl will lose weigh to goal and maintain with relative ease", I would tell you to go to hell. I was going to soften that, but after all of our failed attempts, there is no softening the frustration we felt. I still can't believe it. So many different foods to explore, so many new experiences around food that don't revolve all you can eat barfets. I am in (skinny) pig heaven! 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.  |

| Vicki, You are so right about really enjoying what something acually tastes like now. My first bite of my husbands hamburger about a week ago was like pure heaven, and I savored every taste. Hehehehe so much so I tryed another bite. I was then full..... On the other hand I know I still have that fear of failing, I am in another slump and get get over that 260 pound mark. I so want to be in the fifties!!!!!! I am going to attempt a very busy walk weekend...maybe that will help. Thanks for you thoughts, they really hit home with me... ROBBIN

Height:   | Vicki, you really should think about pursuing some kind of career in writing. You have a deffinate talent for it. Right now I am not to the point where I have much of a love for hardly any foods, but I can understand your point about thinking that before you had an affair with good food when it was simply quantity instead of quality. I thought that when I had surgery it would be a cheaper grocery bill, but it hasn't gone down at all since I am more picky about what I put in my body and what goes down my mouth. I look forward to enjoying eating again...I know it will happen someday...just not today. Janae |
