ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT
While i've never been a "believer" of the "Dr's couch",
I firmly believe that if I had had a support group to help me realize the little things.....
I resorted to my old ways by "learning" how to get around eating the small amounts that I should have been destined to eat the rest of my life. I became a beer drinker and that alone packed on the pounds. I honestly believed that I would never be able to gain the weight back because of the procedure I had. I knew that my stomach had been reduced to hold only two ounces of chewed up food. The normal "gut" can hold up to 8lbs of chewed up food! I was told that my stomach would eventually stretch to about 8oz and would allow me to keep my weight under control. Being 31 yrs old, I didn't do the first exercise, and everything
bounced right back to where it was originally supposed to be before I gained all my weight. I liken it to a BIG RUBBER BAND snapping back after being stretched beyond its means! I developed "dumping syndrome" (no, I don't mean the potty kind
) which happens when your stomach empties too quickly causing your blood sugar to drop drastically...thus, you're so dizzy you can't stand up...feels kinda like you're going to faint.
BUT like all "good little fat girls"....I made my way back up the scale. I have grabbed at every new diet book to hit the market, tried every new gimmick, taken every pill.
But now I think I'm back on track to a successful
SLOW weight loss, backed by all the wonderful people who come to 3FATCHICKS for just that....
SUPPORT
This is a great place to be, and I'm so glad I found it.
If the
diet industry could just see what they have done to the over weight people of the world.....but they're too busy counting their money! The money they have made by
tricking everyone into believing about the
MAGIC BULLITT [b]THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLITT.....
How do I know this???? I've only been looking for it for 40 yrs...
GET REAL PEOPLE.....GET HEALTHY....GET HAPPY....and it WILL happen.....
Sorry for the rambling...but I do tend to get on the soapbox when it comes to this subject...
