They seem to eat whatever they want, but they just magically stop with no urges to finish the lasagna, or cake, or hamburger. However, I have a hard time listening to skinny people because they seem to be judgmental and lacking in empathy. But if and when I get think you better believe I will find me a skinny sister to help me stay that way.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-73776681846663564142011-06-30T23:32:41.584-05:002011-06-30T23:32:41.584-05:00Chris, I hear ya.

And some folks slowly eat more and more and yes you can actually figure out how to eat a lot even with the stapling and gain weight back. Sadly. If you get the surgery without looking at the root causes of food addiction, it isn't helpful. But people who are suddenly glamourous after losing the weight... well... don't wish that would be me b/c I would just be happy to be un-noticed. :)<br /><br />Andrea it's realllly hard, even when you know what to do! Your "coach" or "diet trainer" isn't there alone with you and the cake. <br /><br />Daja, it is sort of a catch 22. But if you've never been hugely fat, you don't know what it's like to be stuck that way. Then again, since I've never kept the weight off, as a fat person, I would have no idea about the usual "lifestyle" of the thin person. <br /><br />Maybe more it just stings to hear sometimes even if you are right... Even making small changes can be quite difficult. :)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-16091803484601353182011-06-30T23:09:41.356-05:002011-06-30T23:09:41.356-05:00On the flip side, people tell me that I have nothi...On the flip side, people tell me that I have nothing to say about weight control because I'm not overweight. But, actually, I think I do have some insight into health and weight control because I AM thin. But, that disqualifies me to speak on the subject.

The last time I lost 70 lbs, I fell off because the scale stopped moving and gained it all back and then some. <br /><br />What I hate is when skinny people who have lost 20 pounds become a weight expert. Excuse me, but until you lost 100 pounds, you have no friken idea what it takes so shut up. <br /><br />In defense of fat diet experts, I know ALL the information... When people start giving me their weight loss tips I interrupt them and finish the sentence... doing it is much harder than knowing what to do.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-319107831250708492011-06-30T06:31:33.456-05:002011-06-30T06:31:33.456-05:00I will support you every step of the way mate.
I ...I will support you every step of the way mate. <br />I too am on the 'weight loss' trial again... again.. again.<br />*sigh*<br /><br />It's hard though when so many of my friends have had weight loss surgery and go on and on about how much weight they have lost, how HARD it was/is...and I just see red cos anyone can lose a hundred pounds if they've had their stomach stapled! I feel like it's cheating in a way... ONLY MY OPINION... and they really don't deserve the credit for losing the weight? No, it's not sour grapes talking... it's just how I feel when they stand in my face all slim and gleeful about it. <br />I can't and would never do the surgery... cos I'm stubborn and when I lose it I want to get all the credit, not some surgeon who cut me stomach out! <br />Oh heck that sounds so bad... I like so many girls who have had Weight loss surgery too... just not how they went about losing it.<br />For some people WLS is a way to avoid dying of obesity, I get that... and power to them.<br />But don't get in my face and go on about how you did it with this amazing 'TOOL' called Weight Loss Surgery.<br />So, there's me beef about WLS... perhaps after you have read this you can delete it so my comment does not upset anyone please?<br />It's pretty much for you to read only.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-14375052725536943562011-06-29T23:00:38.916-05:002011-06-29T23:00:38.916-05:00Julie, I'd love to exercise with you.

You have a lot going on!<br /><br />Blondee, it's kind of a message board and rather like posting comments on a blog, and then reading the comments in order. Sort of an ongoing conversation like that.<br /><br />Hi, Mary! I have not heard of Three Fat Chicks and will have to google. :)<br /><br />YAY for you, Dad, on stopping the smoking! You should totally party like it's 1999 or something. What are you gonna buy with all the money you are saving??

There are some know it alls there, but a lot of people who have lost 70-100 pounds plus. It is pretty inspiring.<br /><br />I am on my own journey with weight loss and currently back on track with my 1500-1600 calories a day, but I am too dang hot to exercise. It is 100 degrees here just about every day!<br /><br />Good luck!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479304857245688749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-44334953097812543992011-06-29T20:12:10.006-05:002011-06-29T20:12:10.006-05:00I've never heard of a weight loss 'board&#...I've never heard of a weight loss 'board' before...as in they tried to bet on their weight loss??<br /><br />LOL'd that some would be crass enough to post that their sexual activities were their workout! <br /><br />So glad to see you are sticking with this and that the ticker is showing even MORE weight loss.
