Good Morning. You might be a lightweight....

Complete the following sentences:

1) And then this nurse asked me...

2) The NUT looked at me and decided all be her little self that I....

3) I may not be as big as you but on the inside...

4) What part of ______ don't you understand?

5) Well, swinging lizards means.....

6) We don't get hung up on surgery types or starting BMI, we .....

7) Yeah, I know "babeee" is misspelled but....

If you have some more put them out here, babeeees!  

Ok. Ok. Maybe you're shy...

Here are some of mine:

1) And then this nurse asked me why I just didn't eat less and exercise more. I told her I was eating 600 calories a day and walking 2 miles every damn day. You'd think they'd have a clue!

2) The NUT looked at me and decided all be her little self that I was telling her the truth. I really was a grazer and needed her to support me in getting the DS even though I was a lightweight. She did and I got my DS. 

3) I may not be as big as you but inside I have as many comorbidities, if not more.

4) What part of busted metabolism don't you understand?

5) Well, swinging lizards means we're wishing you good luck and sending up prayers in code for the politically correct Nazis.

6) We don't get hung up on surgery types or starting BMI, we assume you are a lightweight at heart. 

7) Yeah, I know "babeee" is misspelled but we like it that way.

"And then this nurse asked me why I just didn't eat less and exercise more."  That's what the surgery co-ordinator said when I asked about a TT!!  I told her I'd lost over 40lbs!!! :-S

I haven't won DH over on the idea of a TT, so it's moot point anyway. :-(

1) And then this nurse asked me why I just didn't eat less and exercise more. I told her I was eating 600 calories a day and walking 2 miles every damn day. You'd think they'd have a clue!

I have had so many doctors, including an endo, tell me the same thing - over and over.  And when I showed them I was eating 800 calories, and burning 400 calories at the gym on the elip. machine 4-5 times a week and still could not lose weight - they got this smarmy look on their faces because I think they thought I was lying.  Nothing could budge them from the thought that:
1)  'a calorie is a calorie',
2)  eating low carb made no difference in weight loss (nor was it any healthier),
3)  low fat and low calorie was the bottom line and if you didn't do Weigh****chers, you were not going to be successful long term. 
4)  if you were not successful on WW, then you were either cheating, or were eating too many calories (otherwise known as cheating).

The time and money I spent trying to find a doctor to help me get the weight off...  and all of them telling me WLS rarely worked long term.

haha...Gina you made me smile this morning.  First because I seen you posted, second because of what you wrote, and 3rd because my computer said you wrote it at 3:54 this morning...you are one crazy lady.....

I haven't had my morning Protein drink yet so I will have to think about your post for awhile.

Roz,

Gina is on the east cost, so add 3 hours to her post time.  She posted at almost 7am (which is still late for
Gina).  This board does not have a time zone feature - all times here seem to be west coast/Pacific time.

lol...if it had been anyone but Gina I probably would have thought of that but I know Gina gets up really early on most days.

Being told.....You just need to lose a little bit of weight - then you'll be beautiful

Busy day here, just now getting on here.

1 - was actually my DH and he told me all I had to do was push away from the table and I could lose weight - LOL - now he understands it is not quite that easy since he has put on about 20 pounds!

2 - My nut doesn't think you should drink protein drinks - you should get all your protein from food

3 - I may not be as big as you but on the inside I still struggle every day with food.

4 - What part of "take your vitamins" don't you understand? They are so very important for all of us.

5 - Swinging lizards from me means I'll be praying and thinking about you.

6 - We welcome everyone but no surgery wars allowed!

7 - I'm a horrible speller so I'm sure that is not the only thing I've ever spelled wrong!

"I may be a lightweight but I need this surgery just as much as you"

"I HAVE dieted for 25 years and I cannot live in this struggle ANYMORE!"

"You are't THAT BIG"

Lightweights or not, we push on in this adventure and hopefully use the tool to continue to push ourselves as close to healthiness as possible.

Greats post!

Blessings...
