There are a few who don't but even then the amount they actually eat is probably closer to our banded portions. None of them would say they're on a diet, it's just how they eat.<br /><br />You have done phenomenally well and will continue to do so, the scale is on a pause right now but it will start moving again.Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00821331052056806581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-51007964610010942602010-02-27T04:14:46.234-06:002010-02-27T04:14:46.234-06:00I have some really really thin friends...maybe a 2...I have some really really thin friends...maybe a 2 or 0 in Us sizes and one eats huge portions and the other one eats very very small meals but only about twice a day.

I think you...Awww...you're so cutesie tutesie! I think you're right - band or no band - diet is a part of every day life forever for everyone - unless they have the metabolism of a 9 year old. I've been trying to maintain my loss for a while now and it's an every day battle. It never gets easy....like they say...if it was easy I guess everyone would do it. You're going to be alright....you'll think about it every day but you won't have to obsess about it or have it be your whole life. I promise.♥ Drazil ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/10177140029694038645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-67216114377321019652010-02-26T15:16:06.245-06:002010-02-26T15:16:06.245-06:00You really do look great, Amy.

Funny... and Amy??? You look so damn good, it is amazing. If I didn't stalk your blog, I wouldn't know that you hadn't lost weight - you look freaking phenomenal! And I'm at the same place - people keep telling me they can see changes, but that damn scale won't budge below 201.4... (today 1.2 higher than that)... it'll come! IT WILL COME FOR BOTH OF US!

Hopefully this will make you feel better about it: I found your blog when we were both about 250ish. Because my insurance won't pay for the band I've been following you both for motivation but also to see how your weight loss would compare to mine. I'm progressively losing, but I'm at 230. Those pounds are hard! Take comfort that you look awesome, are getting healthier every day, and you have a tool that you are utilizing in a totally fantastic way. You'll get there.<br />-TameaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-5108066889200826962010-02-26T12:33:03.582-06:002010-02-26T12:33:03.582-06:00Wow Amy!

You look so great and I love the ensemble you have on. I have 1 pair of jeans and only a few tops right now because I refuse to spend money on larger sizes when I'll be smaller in a few months. I'm not sure how the clothes trade goes, but if anybody has any 24/26 sizes that they are done with, I'd be thrilled to receive. And I will make sure to pass them on to a good home once they are too big. :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746868749311455784.post-8418380519922437802010-02-26T10:16:53.171-06:002010-02-26T10:16:53.171-06:00Sweetheart - you look Damn good!

About not being present in the moment. Not fully accepting that the way things are right now is okay. I have spent more than half of my life saying to myself that when I lose this weight, I'm going to do this....or that. My goal for this year is to get healthier, fitter and of course thinner, but it is also to slow down. To take the time to enjoy the journey and not spend so much time focusing on the destination. You're an inspiration to me and to so many. Today, I hope you will take the time to enjoy your journey, to own each of your successes along the way to your final destnation. God speed!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794746954511347596noreply@blogger.com
