Topic: A new way of looking at things...

Some of you may have seen my previous posts re: 

What are you doing FOR yourself instead of TO yourself.

Someone recently asked me about that and I told them that this is a relatively new was of looking at things for me as it relates to my choices around food and activity.It has helped me see my glass as half full instead of half empty many times. When I'm thinking in terms of something I want to eat and would otherwise feel 'deprived', when I look at not having something, or having a 'healthier' choice, it is so much easier to do so, when I am choosing that option as doing something 'FOR' myself. 

A few of the things I now do FOR myself include:

Going for a walk

Parking in the shade no matter how far away from the store it is

Eating my protein before indulging in carbs

Selecting the grilled over the fried version of whatever I'm choosing to eat

What do you do FOR yourself?

Topic: RE: Trying to find in network provider
Hi,

No, unfortunately, it is an out of pocket surgery.  It IS definitely worth the the money!!!  It works! 

I think the insurance companies are unable to come to terms with how well it works so they call it experimental.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

I have gotten so many responses from my last posting! I understand this is going to be a love me or hate me thing. Not worried! Everybody is welcomed to believe or think what you want. Just respect my beliefs as well!
Some of you are asking some things and I want to get to them right now.

  1. I want you to understand the is no money being raised by how many people listen to my show and I have no sponsors. It is a radio show that is for fun and you know what? IT IS FUN!

  2. Why is it I don't answer every bodies question? Because some of you asked them through the OH site. I kept trying to tell people to email me at [email protected] what every you wanted to know. But some where to lazy and then got upset cause I didn't write you back here. Well unlike some people, I don't live 24/7 on the OH site and I'm not about to start. You want to talk? You know how to find me. Also I have a very busy life! So some times even my best friend don't hear from me for days! So relax!!!

No matter what! There are still some very cool people amongst the bad apples and it's not fair to you guys. That is way if you want to talk and be cool and friendly and understanding then you know that you are always welcomed to call me on the radio show!


 

Oh and for those of you that think I am doing this cause I think I am a celeb and that's it...well your wrong!

Yes I have a different type job that most people could only dream about, However I am still just Ron Lester from a small town in Kennesaw Georgia. I know my **** STINKS!!! And depending on which surgery you have had......So does yours! Life isn't about being better then anybody else! I spent a lot of time and money and effort to become who I am. You have to so for the A holes.....I want to give you something that a friend gave me just after I ran away form the OH group. Ready?......"Except and move on!" Life is to short to hate!

For everybody else! Thank you for being my friends I will try more to get to your question sooner (can't promise all the time). And as I said before.....I am here to get support as well as give it in what ever form I am able too.


 

I wish everybody the best and for all the positive feed back I have gotten and to those that gave it, Thank you! And for the one that said they will be listen to the show and or even calling in....You Rock!


 

I hope this finds each and everyone, Well and Happy!

God Bless

Ron Lester

I will be leaving OH by the end of the year. I love all of you that have made me your friend. I ask that you come befriend me on my myspace or face book. But I will let it be know that I am tried of the ass holes and negative people that seem to live in the forums and blogs. I was on here to give support and get support and because I didn't didn't word my blogs that made me sound perfect. And finding out that there are soooooo many negative people on this website, Well you win. I wish you the best and hope nothing but the best for you. Other then that, I will be doing what I do best acting and showing support to those that want it. And by moving on allows me to be able to ride myself of the heart ache that was giving to me cause I worded things in a way the folks at OH suggested!. Never again will I be so willing to open my life to people who think small and want to fine falt with everything that people who want to help, try to offer. So I am not perfect!!!!!!!  Never tried to be.
Cheers

Ummmm, you sound very upset.  I never knew you before and I don't know exactly how to respond.  I hope you find your peace.

Topic: Executive Producer of Big Medicine Needs Help
It's Darryl Silver. Executive Producer of Big Medicine. Thanks for all your casting help. We have another request as we continue to try and keep the struggles with obesity in the spotlight.

We are currently looking for SUPER MORBIDLY OBESE people.  These are people like Allen who was in Big Medicine. 

The type of person we are looking for weighs over 700 lbs.

We hope to be able to show a few of these people and their struggles and how they can be saved.

They can be any age, sex and can live anywhere in the country.

Please email me at   [email protected]   if you are or know of someone like this.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards,

Darryl

Thank you,

I have been trying to have the lap band since 2000 but until coming to this site had no idea as to what I was doing. I only knew of 3 procedure, now finding there are a lot more. So, I am  searching and asking questions.

Thanks a bunch,
