Banded For Life


My Life After A Lap Band...

The good, the bad, and the very ugly.

Seriously?

I woke… psh woke up… never went to sleep ahahaha. I turned on youtube, because that’s what I do I turn on youtube, I don’t go to the webpage or anything… anyways.

I clicked on a video and it was perhaps the funniest song I ever heard in my entire life:

After watching this three times and just about pissing myself because it was so funny I looked into what this video is a response to:

Again I laughed until I just about pissed myself. While I applaude anyone attempting to get healthy and lose weight, no matter what the number of lbs you need to lose, this video makes me rofl.

These two have 15-20 lbs to lose, and while if that’s you and they encourage you, then more power to them… they make a video saying that this is when people start to quit, people start and quit all through the year.

Many people have much more weight to lose, and simply can’t do an exercise plan like  insanity or p90x let alone afford them, what does this challenge do for them? Are they meant to sit and watch them succeed while they eat a tub of ice cream, as many of us have done in the past with show’s like “Biggest Loser” and “Celebrity Fit Club”? I think not, stop watching and start doing. Stop watching others succeed while you wish you could. If this abrasive shit motivates you, then awesome keep watching, but if watching others succeed while you don’t only depresses you and makes you feel like a failure I say fuck them.

Turn off youtube, turn off the tv, turn off everything but your mind and the treadmill. Find an exercise you can do, and say fuck off to more challenges. I did the whole fifteen challenges at once thing, and guess what I’ve lost more being in no challenges then I ever did during a challenge.

Find a plan that works for you and just do it, stop waiting for the next inspirational story to get you moving, be the inspiration for someone else. Value yourself more then anyone you watch on youtube… the fact is we are all just people and we are all here to do the same thing… LOSE WEIGHT…
