Honesty.

Hey luvly

try not to beat yourself up, your a busy mum and wife, student nurse and batch up queen… you have nothing to be guilty about.  Tomorrow is another day

cannot wait to see the pork

enjoy your weekend 👍🏻

And remember your doing great xx

If you are ever having a wobble Laura just look back at those photos you posted – amazing transformation x

hey Laura x you know hon, 15 years banded and some serious  stones lost, I STILL have bad days. I don t have the domestic demands of your life but nonetheless, juggling a career, domestic tasks, d i y n general mood swings is a real challenge. But everyone worries about the bad days – now this is radical but hey!!!! why not celebrate the good days? As women, we can be prone to hormonal swings which mean we get that ‘can t get out of bed’ mood – but we have to, so we go through the motions but feel flat n lacking in  motivation all day. I think being gentle on yrself is key – give yrself a small goal each day which you can achieve – it might be that tomorrow s snacks are bananas instead of crisps…. it might be ‘when i get home i’m gonna hoover seven bells out of the house- its bugging me as it needs doing n its becoming a bigger issue in my mind than it should be’ ….. clock up even a small challenge 5 days in a row then come back n tell me you re a failure?  Having a band offers you the chance to CHOOSE to improve your life and health. But it is not a legal requirement to be fabulous and on-plan every day 🙂 Be a human, with all the vulnerabilities that we carry, but also be a human who fights back, survives and achieves. If losing weight each week is not happening right now, is it  a band fill issue or a behavioural issue?  I seriously applaud you for your honesty, Laura. You are not trying to fool yrself or lay blame elsewhere. You know, Laura, we can t all afford financially to bin everything in the house tonight n refill with salads n fruits etc etc. This week, just try to eat less of what you have n next time you do yr ‘big shop’, plan some better choices in and build on them. I once ran and completed a marathon …. and i did it one step at a time xx Keep your chin up mate …. don’t lose sight of how well you have done thus far.  Here to support if i can xxxxx

to everyone on here – I know some of you are a bit reluctant to post, but there is no judgement here from anyone xx anything i can share, I truly will xx Dont be alone on yr journey xxx

So lovely Ammib

sharing is definitely caring and yes sometimes putting heads together makes good sense 💕 xx

well kids …. when i was banded 16 yrs nearly now …. there was so little info n bugger all like this site where you can access medical, dietary and general ‘living with a band’ stuff ….. i am totally committed to supporting my fellow bandsters so pls do ask anything n i will do my best to offer my thoughts xx n you know, with a band its often a bit gross … being sick, toilet troubles … i’ve survived them all!!!! so don’t be shy, please xxx ask away xxx

Thanks Ammib for your support. Everybody loves ure posts xx

I know where you coming from and can sympathise as been there however try not to beat yourself up sometimes I think we put more pressure on ourselves.  Let the bad days go and tomorrow is another day xx

Good advice Jean – look forward not back and keep going 😃
