Transferring from junk food addiction vs Retirement

Posted 04-07-2008 at 02:54 PM by Vim&Vigour
I have reached a different understanding in how we do or fail to cope with the mental replacement of our previous junk eating. Thank you Mike Fisher (Fisher1000) and Jacki (Splendifor) for your comments in my earlier threads - you have paved a clearer path for me!

Learning to reapply our mental frustration from not "being able" to junk eat is something we all agree on. But wherein the struggle lies, I believe is akin to starting retirement. When you have worked your butt...

5th April 2008
Exactly 4 months out today.
I have lost 42% of my wls journey so far.
I am SO very happy at the improved me, at being FREE, feeling younger, lighter and just grateful to be ALIVE...

You know that feeling you get at times, such as "falling in love", finding the "dream" house, that "great" job...? You just know it when you see it. But know what exactly? Well, you "know" that the glove fits, that everything...

Thinking in First Person...

Thinking in First Person…

I really feel guilty! I have been indulging in myself these last 9 months. The duration of a pregnancy. The outcome has been the birth of ME!

I, I, I, me, me, me!

It’s all about what I think, how I look, how I feel, what I am doing, what I will be doing, my involvement in any given situation. From having stood at the back of most photographs, here I am at the front, taking full centre view! I feel good, I feel strong, I...

Eating a peach...

Posted 03-22-2008 at 11:28 AM by Vim&Vigour
Take a peach. Sun ripened, room temperature and just ripe, not overly ripe… Have you ever felt your lips reaching the velvety skin of a peach, them pursing as you sink your teeth into the flesh?

Your tongue coming to the aid to catch the sweet aromatic juices as your teeth sink into the firm, soft flesh? You take a first bite, your mouth bursts with flavour, sweetness,...

A stone per pound

Posted 03-22-2008 at 02:59 AM by Vim&Vigour
A fun thread came on yesterday, with a table of the equivalent of your loss by a different measure

According to it, I have lost the equivalent of an elephant's heart, have still a 5000 BTU air conditioner to lose until I reach my goal of a 2 month old horse.

However, as I feel stronger and different about my weight loss surgery than I do compared with any other dieting I have ever done, I know that my RNY will work! I am DETERMINED for it to WORK! I SHALL SUCCEED!...
