:clap2: I would like to give all you guys a big round of applause! I am so
happy to see just how normal I am. I was beginning to think all my hangups
were my own doing but now I know how wrong I was. I was banded back in December. My first fill was in March. I still struggle everyday and lately
I've been eating all the wrong foods for all the wrong reasons. I am a mother
of four active children the youngest being only 9 months old. Sooooo
that alone doesn't leave much time for me. Anyhow thanks a bunch you all.

Hey there southernwoman! Happy Mother's Day and welcome to LBT!

I don't profess to being perfect, and Lord knows I have hangups I don't even know about... but, I believe the best thing you can do is be honest with yourself. Looks like you know what's what with your situation.

To some extent, I believe we're all on the same journey. I know I'm not a model bandster, I don't make the best food choices. I'm trying to correct that. And, while during the past 19 mo with my band I've seldom exercised... I've made up my mind to change that too! I signed up for sessions with a trainer at a neighborhood fitness center opening next month. I need help targeting specific areas, and I can't do it by myself. I've got about 25-30 lbs to go to my goal, and plan to be there by my 2 yr anniversary in October.

We're here for encouragement and hopefully, after a busy day with your kids, I hope you find LBT a nice place to come to when you need to hear from others going thru the same things as you.

All the best,
Karla

That gave me chills, Southernwoman! This is exactly what a support group is supposed to do. Yay! Welcome to LBT and I hope you stick around. :biggrin1:

None of us are perfect, we all have our ups and downs, especially after a few years. I think we are all normal that way! Good Luck!
