I can't believe it is November of 2007 and this is my first blog. I am a technology teacher, I think I should have been doing this a long time ago.
Anyways.....I am writing this blog in hopes to help someone who needs it. I just had (6weeks ago) gastric bypass surgery. I was 100lbs. overweight and I needed a change. I had tried and failed many diets throughtout my life. I needed something drastic to change my thoughts about food and my eating habits. Gastric Bypass works! I have so far lost 31lbs. so far. I am sure this is the most weight I have lost at one time. The surgery was easy as far as I had it laproscopically (sp?) I was in the hospital for two nights and I was back to teaching in two weeks. However, the first two weeks were very hard for me. I literally had to end my love affair with food. Now I just eat to survive. I think our society puts too much emphasis on food and food as a form of entertainment. "Hey lets go out to eat"......
I would like to talk more about this if anyone out there is interested. It does help to just write it out. I think I might enjoy this blog thing. :)

Hey!
I wanted to say congratulations on taking a step to improve your health. I, too, am overweight...though friends and family like to say different. I gained 70lbs with my first pregnancy and in the 18 months since his birth, I have gained another 10lbs. So, I went from 155 to 235. Now I am in the midst of a water fast, to break down my bad eating habits, and MY love affair with food.
I admit, I am an emotional eater. How do I know? When everything is 'right' and calm in my life, I eat as I should. But as soon as I am upset, I can eat anything! I think part of it is the stimulation of taste on my tongue, somehow that makes my brain happy.
I am interested in how things are going for you. Please, keep blogging. You can check out my blogs, as well, if you are interested. I feel like I am going through the same thing, but I didn't have the money to do GBP...so I am having to use tough love on myself.
