Remember the liquid diet? If you're so inclined, I invite you to travel back in time with me, to a time when nobody was reading my blog, and I had no idea what this blogging community would come to mean to me, and to a time when I went through the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, including childbirth: my liquid diet. I was well over 300lbs, and it nearly killed me.
Well my friends...I just signed up to do it again. Voluntarily. I just put in my order for one week's worth of liquid diet "shakes" (oh how loosely I use that word!)
I am (as, it seems, is the entire blogisphere) DE-FUCKING-RAILED! I'm not sure if it's Halloween, or mood related, or just that I got a little too comfy in thinking I had it all under control...most likely a combination of all those things...but it stops now. Well...Monday, actually. But the point is that it's going to stop. I'm going to do something drastic so I can get my carb cravings under control, and I can get this train moving again.
I want to make something very very clear though: there is nothing wrong with my band. My band is performing perfectly. I am not hungry. Any failure that's happening here is my own, to do with my own issues with food and my own head. My band continues to do exactly what it's supposed to do: control my hunger. And that's the scary thing here.
So watch this space. This next week should be a doosie!
Best of luck to you!! Yep, I remember liquids being pure hell.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to kick ass at it. And you can bet your ass I'm going to be watching this space. You won't be able to rip me away. I'm going to pull up a treadmill and water. Or mabye just a lazy boy and a bag of popcorn. We'll see which way the wind blows.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be interesting. I can bet this liquid diet will result in some awesome blog post. I will be sitting next to Jen in the lazy boy.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to alternate between sitting on Jenny's or Dawnya's lap! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best.....might need to go there myself someday.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. The liquid diet nearly killed me too and I am struggling a bit. It is not my band; it is my mind. Let me now if it helps to get you back to a good place.
ReplyDeleteI remember those post so clearly. It scared the crap out of me thinking that I had to go through with it. But 7 days aren't that bad and we are here in cyberspace. Just glad we aren't living near you for that week.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat, only I am constantly hungry again. I had my band loosened quite a bit, thinking I got this, but I have been gaining. Enough is enough. I am a sugarholic and am ready to get back on the train and do this! Good Luck to you!
ReplyDeleteWas JUST thinkin the last few days that maybe I should do a liquid diet week to try to re-set my pathetic excuse for a bandster lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteBut wait... you don't have Thanksgiving next week, do you?
ReplyDeleteYou CANADIAN, you.
Sometimes it takes doing something drastic to get your head back in the game...good luck to you, I can't wait to hear how it goes...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeletelol @ Dawnya!
ReplyDeleteHope the liquids get you back on track, G!
