Hi. I just came by your channel. I am on a weight loss journey too. I've lost around 60 - still have 30 to go. I understand your mind-tapes. I also understand about the "big plans" that we can make.
Remember God has blessed us with this lapband, but never were we told it was going to be easy. Negative thoughts got us here, so remember where you came from and be proud of every ounce you lose. I am having a hard time right now and I pray. I hand those bad feelings over to God. I really feel my lapband is a gift and I want to treat it as such. You comfort many of us, so please lean on us when you need to. God bless and keep up the good work. We can do this, and we will do this. Stay strong.
Every day get up and rejoice that you are making progress overall. You are looking so good!! I think my negative tapes got burned in the OR, because I don't hear them anymore, but I used to hear you are SO far gone, what difference does it make? Why try? No one cares? Not anymore...I care...and the it matters to me in the long run and I finally accept that I can't be my own obstacle. I have to love me every step of the way! You are already a winner - just keep going!!
Change those tapes! You are right god made each of us perfectly. We are each the most perfect "me" there is, no one anywhere could be a more perfectly imperfect "me". I practice self acceptance every day, like when I find myself driving around the gym looking for the parking spot closest to the door so I can go exercise or making a batch of chocolate chip cookies because I want one then trying to give the rest away as quickly as possible, because I'm afraid I might eat more than one.
I am pre-op... my surgery date is DEC 22. Yay me!! As for the negative tapes... I thought I was the only one in the world who did that? I look in the mirror and I am very, very harsh on myself. Say things like "You are such a fat, ugly pig... why bother?" or "You are a failure in everything you do... you deserve this." Where this came from, I have no idea? I guess this is where we are all to "band" together and support eachother. =) I really hope I can do this.
nearly 2 1/2 yrs post band...............lost 70 right away and then stalled and still 20 lb form goal. feel good look good but still call myself fat and ugly and a failure on the black days.........still go for the comfort food when blue...........old habits die hard........but we go on

You are doing exactly what I would have a client do...answering back to your negative tapes with positive responses. Keep it up!
