I don't want to have surgery at the moment and I wonder why it is so difficult to get doctors to prescribe any dietary pills first? I think I am a good candidate for this. In fact I think this may work to help me along with nutrition and exercise. But when I mention getting pills doctors make me feel like I have a problem...and boy does that make me angry.  I'm not a drug addict or anything like that I just think with everything I have read these may be just what I need to jump start my weight loss. Why make these pills if they cannot be used? Interesting that surgery has been offered but not this non-invasive help.  Any suggestions or  comments are welcome.

Looking over the past year and
It's been full if ups and downs, in life and on the scales. Lol lol. I survived 2'surgeries to remove infected glands from under my arms. Dealt with seromas, infections and illness for over 10'months. I explored weight loss surgery and decided against it. Buried a dear friend in June. That was difficult but faith got me through.
Now the fun stuff! I didn't let my weight stop me from getting on ice skates for the 1 St time in over 20 yrs. My DH got me a bike for our anniversary in June. We rode our bikes to the Shrine to attend Mass a few times and had picnic lunches. Fall was beautiful here we had great weather. Joined Curves gym in Sept. Had a wonderful simple Christmas. I learned a lot about my emotional and night time eating behaviors and have asked for help! The scale didn't move much but I did lose about 2'clothing sizes. When I pulled out my fav red
Shirt to go to Mass on Christmas Eve Hubby said I couldn't wear it. It looked like a tent! Lol lol I am looking forward to 2013? How about You? Would love to hear your yr in review! What are looking forward too in 2013? Peace be with you all in 2013!

Hello all hope you had a good holiday! All is well here except that I am exhausted and feeling in need of a good detox. I had way too many sweets and alcohol and honestly I feel yucky! I can't eat the way I use to without physically feeling the after effects. This year I ate better and less than previous years. But still feel I had too much. My energy is very low, my sleep is poor and sugary treats lead to some night eating again. I look and feel terrible. Puffy, bloated, irritable, stomach upset etc. So not worth it! Got to get bk to clean eating this wk. Sending gifts of chocolates, cookies and other treats out the door with my hubby tomorrow. He can share them with his co- workers. Please chck in and let us know how your doing and feeling. I haven't posted in a bit, but I know sharing will help get me bk on track too.
