Good morning babies!!!! Friday marked 2 years that I have been banded. It was an uneventful day. My band has been completely empty since August 8th. Three months of no restriction. I've lost and gained the same 3 pounds over and over again. I'm not angry. I still love my band...even though I'm having her removed next month. Without my band I would never have met some of the most amazing women ever. Even if our meeting is only in cyberspace...each of you have enriched my life for the better.
I encourage you to keep fighting the good fight. For those who are stalled in their weight loss...don't give up. NEVER GIVE UP!!! Don't do it for your family, don't do it for your husband or kids...or to make people receive you better. You have to do it for you...if you don't do it for you...it won't work. Before anybody else can love and accept you...you must first learn to love and accept yourself.
I have ALWAYS loved me...sometimes to much in the opinion of my friends and family. But I had to love myself if ever I expected anybody else to love me. I'm still fighting the good fight...I'm still planning on meeting my weight loss goals. It make take a lot longer than I anticipated. Then I remember it took years to reach 311 pounds...it may take years to reach 175...but I'll get there.
So onward and upward my friends. I'm not giving up and neither should you!!!!

I'm sorry the band didn't end up working out for you. I am so glad to see you still have such a positive, upbeat attitude despite your troubles. You will be successful, I know it! Just because you won't be banded anymore isn't an excuse to stop blogging you know! Stick around!
((hugs))
You are so right and have such a positive outlook! Never give up!
Thank you for paragraph 2. I think this is a big part of my problem. I have been doing this for others and not for me!
I know you won't give up because you are one of the strongest, amazing women I know. This is just a different way you are heading but not the end. Love you.
D ~ You rock! Love your attitude!
Onward!
So well said. This absolutely hit JUST the right nerve for me!!
Good luck to you moving forward!
Onward :-)

Good luck with your journey! I'm on a mission to shed some myself. I need to get back in shape.
1. How I always miss your blog posts is beyond me. I do need you to post a comment every once in a while to keep up.
What the H happened at boobs? and with your band. So are you going to revise or try it the good old fashioned way again? Either way lots of luck and I know your hard work will shine through.
I remember boobs being hard. I am way braver on the computer than I am i person so thus much shyer. I had a great time last year and am totally sad that there is talk they won't do it again :(. I wanted to at least go one more time.
You are so much better at reading than I am. I feel like post is kind of boring these days as I fight with the same pound over and over.
xxxooo
