Hello, my name is TOM and I am an addict!!!

Wow Tom, what an asset to this site you are. I was really encouraged by your post today. I have not done as well with my band as you, but you have worked much harder than I have. I had my Band put in Sept 08, lost 50 lbs and then went back to work as a long haul truck driver.
  I used the excuse of being on the road, only having fast food and doing a lot of sitting in the truck as  the reason for not loosing any more weight than I have. I always said, If i could get out of the truck and be at home , I would be able to eat right and I could loose more.
SUUUUUURE. 

    I retired a year ago and have gained 8 lbs since.

Soooo I'm ready to Get On Track and get w/ the program. I had a fill this week, my 4th one, but had not had one in over year and a half. With the help of you and the other fine people in this site and your 1o Basic rules I have made my weight lose my #1 priority for 2012 and the rest of my life.

Thanks again and Happy Loosing,
Rod

 Thanks Tom from a fellow food addict! Same holiday creep with 8!lbs which I have since lost but I am not eating healthy. I am committed to getting back to feeding myself well. 

Your post is a great reminder!

Thanks again!

I am also an addict....had a unfill mid November and have had no restriction since....... have no idea how much I gained but only two pair of pants fit and spilling out over them...... I have an appointment on the 26th for a possible fill but don't want to go because I am scared to weigh....I can tell by my pants that I am bigger than I have been in years.....

I don't blame the band because it is not working because of no fill, I do take responsibility for putting the food into my mouth and I have started couch to 5k which is a good start but.........why oh why can't I just keep food out of my mouth......

Every day I wake up and say today I will start and by nighttime failure..........

I would like to thank you for posting, it gives me hope that I will once again be at the weight I was before........funny before I was always talking about that losing that last 10 or 20 pounds.....now I would kill to be that weight that I was and wouldn't care about the last 10 or 20....

Thanks once again and I know you will get that last 10 off!!!!!!
