City: Alma State: Michigan | Felt moved to post.
I don't feel the need to post here much. Lately I admit I haven't visited much.
But this thread.........................struck a nerve.
I got banded in 2004, November 16. I promptly lost weight, and got three fills and continued to lose weight. Total I've lost 108 pounds.
Now, my first goal was to lose over a hundred pounds. I did it. My second goal is to be at 200lbs exactly. I've got 58 pounds to go.
It's been on my mind a lot lately. I need to get another fill, I still can't eat as much as I once did, and I certainly don't eat as often, but I can eat more than when I was losing.
This is a complicated thing for me. I know I should feel successful for losing that hundred, but I also feel like a failure for not losing the remaining 58.
And I feel like a traitor to myself for not celebrating my success in the loss as much as I attack myself for not completing my path.
I've had to cancel the last five doctor appointments/fill sessions due to my wife's ongoing illness, and mandates at work. But that isn't an excuse. If I had really defeated the Demon in my soul who constantly whispers in my ear "eat...eat....eat...eat...eat.." then I would still be losing, slowly.
Yes, I've lost a hundred, and yes I feel, and look, better. Most importantly my health has increased significantly.
Then, tonight, before reading this post I was outside, looking a the river, and I found a ray of hope in my despairing thoughts. A tiny flash of understanding.
Life, and all of its endeavors, are like a river. Sometimes it's but a trickle wandering downhill in a hesitant spring. Sometimes it's a wide and roaring rapids, crashing towards the sea. Sometimes it's just a river, slow and lazy, gradual as the sunset.
My weight loss has been like a river. A rapids at first, roaring and frothing in it's enthusiasm, then a river, slowly drifting seaward, then a lake. A lake is merely an interruption if you're a river. Sooner or later you will begin to flow on the other side. Your pace will pick up, and you'll be heading home, home to the sea. I have time.
Thanks for reading. I know I ramble, those who've read my posts here before know this all too well. | |

State: MA | 100 lbs plus
Please put me on the list. I am at 203 lbs and that makes it 105 lbs since banding in July of 05. I am almost at my mini goal of 199lbs by 06/27/06. It it my birthday present to myself to be out of the 200 plus pounds range. It's going to be close. I tend to lose in chunks rather than steady loss. It's a wait and see game for me. It's That time of month for me and for you gals in your perimenopausal stage you know what that can mean. A belated gift will be OK. On the plus side of things..I am only 38 lbs from my goal..Who ever would have thought it???? I am speechless. I don't ever recall only being 38 lbs overweight. HMMMMMM:faint:
