I need to get back on track!

Hello everyone, I have missed you all so much on this message board. I have been avoiding this site like the plague because I have not been making wise choices lately and have just fallen back into a lot of my old habits. Nothing horrible. Just not making the right choices. Thankfully I haven't gained any weight but have had very nominal losses for the past few weeks (well probably months would be more accurate) I have also stopped working out. I came down with a nasty cold about 2 months ago and stopped working out for a couple of weeks because I just wasn't up to it and never got back on track. When I am not exercising I find myself making unwise food choices as well. I was going to start tomorrow to get back on track but realized that was also part of my old way of thinking and wanted to hop on the computer to put it on here in black in white on my computer screen that I am re-commiting myself to this way of life and using my tool to it's full capacity! In other words, I AM BACK!! For those that don't know me I will give you a little info on me. I had lap band surgery with Dr. Aranow on 8-18-04. I have lost 83 lbs to date and want to lose about another 70 lbs or so. I live in West Hartford with my three kids and husband (who was also banded by Dr. A in March of this year). I am a mostly SAHM (except for the classes that I teach at New England Scrapbook Co in Canton). I look forward to getting reaquainted with everyone and getting to know those newer members better.

Hi Eileen, Welcome back to Ct Message board. You know we all have our old habits back and we have to deal with it. I do have mind hunger but I use tools to help me to avoid to listen my mind hunger. I will join program which Carolyn from Taftville mentioned called Flex Program for 12 weeks to help me to research ourselves with doctor. Email me if you are interested this program. It will cost $300.00 to attend this class but I will join this class this fall. It is not too late to go back on right track and stick your tools. I will be at support group at Middletown tonight at 700 to 800 pm with my friend Shriley who is pre op from Dr Aranow. Hope to meet you tonight Miss Ya Kathy K Don t forget to mark Summer Gathering party at Harkness State Park on July 16th. in Waterford

Hi Eileen No beating yourself up. These things happen to all of us..whether we have admitted it or not. Congratulations for coming back on the boards for support. Get back to your exercise program and portion control..you have done so well. I am very proud of you..and have told two potential lap banders are work...aobut your success. Hang in there we are pulling for you! XO Joanie

Welcome back Eileen! There is always a spot of you here. I know exactly what you are feeling. I think it's "normal" for all of us to fall of the wagon, so speak ...the good part is we recognize it before it's too late. Get those walkin' shoes on and go girl go!!! It's the boards here that keep me on track, especially when I've fallen off. Make today your rebirth day back on track, and don't you look back! Good luck! JA
