Gastric Bypass
WW is the plan I have found that works the best *for me*. It still takes work, but it's a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. I like that about the program. -L. Yeah, at first I thought I'd be an easy way to stay skinny for life. Then when I read what they have to do and what they can and can't eat, I came in here for advice! I don't want to *have* to eat a certain way. If I want dessert and lots to eat at Thanksgiving, I want to be able to eat it. GB sounds like no fun. Being skinny isn't worth that to me. Am going to try WW again soon as I get the nerve to join. Thanks all for the advice. Debbie |

You must accept there is no EASY way except lifestyle change where eating comes in. There is no magic herb or pills out there that allow you to eat as usual and lose weight. Then when I read what they have to do and what they can and can't eat, I came in here for advice! I don't want to *have* to eat a certain way. Then you will remain obese and never attain a healthy lifestyle. If I want dessert and lots to eat at Thanksgiving, I want to be able to eat it. Or do you want that dessert every day? Many of those on healthy diets allow themselves "treats" on the holidays but I don't think that's what you really want. GB sounds like no fun. Being skinny isn't worth that to me. How about being a normal weight? No need to be skinny. Am going to try WW again soon as I get the nerve to join. Or start to count calories and start losing even before you join up. Good luck!

Tis ok. I felt I was being attacked for something I had already realized was
the wrong way to do things. I'm WW all the way now. XOXO Debbie The first 3/4 of this post I was talking about GB, LKW. Debbie Sorry, I misunderstood. LW Start - 7/5/06 - 170lbs Today - 159 lbs Goal - 130lbs Height: 5'6" Age: 61 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

I don't want to *have* to eat a certain way. If I want dessert and lots to eat at Thanksgiving, I want to be able to eat it. With weight watchers, you can eat what you want as long as you count the points. After a while, I found my desire to eat certain things waned quite a bit. But if I want butter on my popcorn, I eat it, and just count the points. I don't do it every day, or even every week, but I still do it and enjoy it. The truth is - NOTHING tastes as good as being thin feels! It *is* a lifestyle change. If I eat what I want, when I want, I am 60 lbs overweight. I NEVER want to be there, ever again. So I eat healthful foods that make me feel better and help me attain my goal - THAT is more important to me than food. And THAT is the decision you have to make - and stick to! As for Thanksgiving, you could use that as one of your personal rewards - just give yourself a day "off plan" and eat Thanksgiving dinner with gusto. You might slow your loss, and pay for it later as a small gain, but the next day is a new day and you can start on plan again. That's the beauty of WW. -L. |

The thing I have found with celebration meals like this is that while I *can* have what everyone else is pigging on, I don't often *want* all of it! Where others gobble down a handful of mince pies and a slab of cake, I'll have either a small slice of cake OR a mince pie. With it I might have a small dollop of half fat creme fraiche rather than a great big dollop of double cream. I find I'm eating smaller portions of the treat foods, and wanting less of them. This is the joy of WW: you CAN do it, but slowly it teaches you to do it sensibly, and with control not gluttony. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |
