Seminars

Went to our local surgery seminar last night with my daughter.  I was very disappointed to see that they are really pushing the gastric bypass and discouraging the lap band even more than when I went to it before my surgery.  It was so negative I think that even I would have been tempted to get the bypass if I didn't know better.   I know the bypass brings in a lot more money to the hospital but really.  Anyway, had to get that thought out before it blew my brain up!

On a roll

Ran out to Sears tonight to look at their exercise bikes and found one for an extremely low price.  It was the floor model of a discontinued model.  Hauled it down to the basement and have already tried it out.  Woo hoo!  I also pulled out the old Jane Fonda Low Impact Aerobic Tape and pulled the furniture around so I can do that. I'm cooking with oil now!

Just went in for a fill and find I have only lost 3 lbs since last May,  Plateau anyone???  Anyway, I 've been working really hard on not being so hard on myself.  I'm a 57year old woman who has lost 96 lbs and kept it off for over a year.  Beating myself up is so counterproductive.  It is one of the biggest problems I have.  How easy it is to hate yourself, tell yourself you cannot be successful, blah, blah.  Liking myself - that is the new strategy - has to be more productive than the old one!
