wait! now you want "fairness" too? life is NOT fair - if it were we would all have been born thin, rich and beautiful - we wouldn't have to work or clean our houses and we could eat anything we wanted! We would have personal trainers and cooks in our kitchen preparing us healthy meals and of course if life were REALLY fair we would have perfect husbands that catered to our every whim so much for fairness - now back to reality...sighhhhhhhhhhh - but I will never stop wishing and dreaming!

I need a "hot ripped guy fairy" and a "i will do your housework fairy" and "i will let your husband nag at me fairy"............if only...I wish i had a fairy. the only fairies that I have are " i need this fairy" i want that fairy" wheres the fairness???? Just kidding heidi

OH god that's terrible.....i do that all the time the eating too fast thing but i havent threw up yet.... so about that.....well atleast u were eating a pear and not something junky..see how much we have changed.

Have a great time... And good luck with the little ones

I eat chocolate too..BUT I only allow myself to have it the day b4 and the day my cycle starts, i figure that wy i can blaim it on water retention...hehe I count my calories for the day and try to burn 1000 cal more a day then I take in. I don't do it everyday and latley i'm lucky to burn off what I take in. I figured it like this ,If i try to burn 100 cam more then I take in thats about 7000 cal over what I eat so it works out to 2 lbs a week 7000 devided by the 3500 that equals a pound. Some days I ***** moan and complain the whole time i'm on the stair stepper or tredmill , but I do it becouse I know it's the only way it works, and I DO NOT want to be 488 lbs again. Each time you skip the chance to work out think about how you felt pre op, how you wanted to be healthy and smaller,now think...you ARE. Don't waste this chance , you have come so far don't let it all go now, you CAN do this , realy you can , you have been doing it already for over a year. Huuuuuuuggggggggsssssssss, Shel P.s> I get depressed some days becouse I am just now where most of you began and it seems so far to go still, but it helps to know you guys were once where I am and now look where you are, I too can do this , I just have to refocus sometimes many times a day, You are my motivation too, all of you. I don't think any one of us could do this ALONE.
