It's Monday. I had a great Weekend. Saturday was the Kris Kinder event. I got to visit with 800+ of my most intimate friends. LOL! I sold two of my scarves, so I was able to go out Sunday and buy gifts for my grandbabies. That was nice. I'm going to go to bed early tonight to recuperate and I should be back, bright and shiny tomorrow morning. My neighbor in the little apt in the end of my house has decided to do lap band. I have tried repeatedly to get her to participate on FS, but she closed her acct on here. I feel bad. As I have lost, she has gained and it's as if we traded places. Last week, she went one lb over my top weight and I think that was the last straw for her. She is almost 20 years younger than I and a whole lot more active. I know she could have lost the weight if she would have looked at her food intake realistically. She just kept saying, "I just don't eat that much." But she does. I told her, it's just like keeping a financial budget. You have to write everything down and not exceed your acct. Well, she was so bad at that, she has someone else handle her money. She only makes $12.50 per hr, so it's not as if she should need an accountant. If she still has checks, she still has money. She has a McDonald's lg. frappe every day on her way to work. I told her, that's 1/4 of her daily calories in a cup. She says she's just not going to eat stuff she doesn't like, and that's almost everything healthy. So, instead, she's going to get fixed so she can't eat anything. I know that many people end up feeling like they have to do this to get control, but I just feel so bad for them. It was never an option for me. I couldn't imagine not being able to occasionally indulge in my favorite foods, so I was willing to do without them most of the time. Now, 1 1/2 years later, many of my "favorites" are no longer favorites. My taste has completely changed. I found myself indulging in the luxury of calamata olives and feta cheese with as much gusto as I used to indulge in cake and ice cream. Who woulda thunk?!!! Well, anyway, that's today's rant. LOL! I'm so glad I have FatSecret. Her dilemma has put new steam in my wagon. Now I HAVE to get back to losing so I can prove you CAN do it naturally. GO GREEN! Y'all just watch my dust!!!

I feel exactly the same as you it really frustrates me...but you know the saying you can lead the horse to water........She thinks she can carry on eating what she loves having the lap band....her old fat ways....my girlfriend had it done and has gained the weight back as it doesn't teach you anything. All the problem health issues that come along with it as well. I love I don't eat much, but no as you say drink in coffee half of her allowance....insanity........We are all here with you proving you so can do this naturally.......and who feels better about it.....yep just watch your dust girl....you rock......

Yvonne, I have to say, I love what I'm eating now and find myself craving really great food. The old stuff tastes like plastic. I remember it being delicious, but now it just doesn't satisfy any more. WE will do it, all together. This is the greatest team on earth! Hugs!!!

Bren, she just keeps saying to me, "I KNOW I can't lose and I won't eat what you're eating. I couldn't possibly do that many beans and I hate brown rice." I keep telling her, she doesn't have to eat what I'm eating. She just has to stop eating what she's eating and start logging every bite. She says it bores her. Well, the problem is, everything bores her. I said, "Just treat it like a job. It's something you have to do." I'm so glad I have you. My friends on here are my inspiration. Even when we're not losing, we keep each other company until we're ready to get at it again. In the mean time, every day we are getting better and better. I love you too Bren! Thanks for being here for me.

Bonnie, there are so many people out there like that! They simply don't want to have to work at it, they just want it to be done, and they think that lap band means they can eat whatever they want and the lap band will make them lose weight! Love you my sweet friend!

Love you too Steph. THIS friend certainly doesn't want to work at it. She wants a magic fix and "this ain't it!" Oh well. I love her. I will be supportive now that she has made the decision. I just hope it goes well. I'm on my way to bed. See you tomorrow.
