Banded For Life


My Life After A Lap Band...

The good, the bad, and the very ugly.

Fuck the Insanity… STOP YOUR MOUTH!

So it’s been forever since I posted here and frankly it’s because nothing in my life is changing. I’m still fat, still single, still feeling pathetic… but it’s time to make a change!

There are 74 days left till summer, and while I can’t realistically be at my weight loss goal by then I think it’s time for me to make a serious life change and adopt a new style of eating.

So here goes…

Sexy For Summer 2010:

  • Day One: Drink ONLY water.
  • Day Two: Start taking three minute walks every hour, yes this may sound pathetic to some of you, but Im recooping from double knee surgery a week ago so this is kinda a big deal.
  • Day Three: Stop making excuses, this is the day I normally quit, even if I fail I will not quit.
  • Day Four: No eating after eight pm. NO EXCUSES.
  • Day Five: Write a blog. NO EXCUSES. Ideas for the blog: Feelings, failures, successes, reasons why not to quit, reasons why this will work, anything that comes to mind… blog and tell the world, that’s what they are here for.
  • Day Six: No meat, I am going to attempt to go sorta vegetarian and only eat meat three days a week, while I know that’s not the best option, it’s a place to start.
  • Day Seven: Blog… write how I succeeded and how I failed this week. Talk to my friends about my new plans. Be completely honest about dieting with everyone in my life…
  • Day Eight: Write the next seven days plans, I know that I can do this, it’s time for me to accept that I am not a failure, that I will do this and that I can do this.

Things I have accomplished since I started losing weight:

  • Lost over 200 lbs.
  • Sat comfortably in a theater style seat.
  • Went to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
  • Had sex in the back seat of a car.
  • Gotten phone numbers from more then one person at the club.
  • Sat comfortably at a movie theater and the omnimax.
  • Went out on New Year’s Eve.
  • Went out for my 30th birthday and had a blast.
  • Not been the fattest person in the room.
  • Gone back to college.
  • I’ll be adding onto this list continously as new adventures arrive.

I have spent so much time telling myself I can’t do things that I think I need to give myself a pep talk. The thing is that if you’re my life and you aren’t supporting this change then it’s time for you to leave my life, because honestly you don’t deserve my time.

Ok and a bit of a rant in text form, because if you watch youtube, you could see the video rant… let’s talk about Susan Powter.

Susan Powter made a series of videos called “Fuck the Fat Girls” in which she sided with HOWARD STERN about Gabby Sidibe (star of the oscar winning picture Precious) and in which she said that Howard Stern was right to say things like “Gabby will never have the chance to win an oscar they should have given it to her, what movie will she be in next ‘The Bliind Side 2’?” I found this to be repulsive. Not only did she insult a girl who has done more with one film then Susan Powter will do in her whole life, but she sided with the most disgusting person in Entertainment. Furthermore she said that Gabby didn’t have a right to be in Hollywood and that they would chew her up and spit her out… obviously that’s not true… Gabby is casted in two more movies THIS YEAR… and what are you doing Susan Powter? Oh that’s right selling your shit over the internet… btw you aren’t even at goal!

As repulsive as this behavior was, what pushed me over the top was her most recent video calling Richard Simmons a “F@gg@t”. Again someone who has done more for the obese world then Susan Powter could ever dream of doing. She made this video in response to Richard Simmons calling her an evil harpee in a recent Slash CD. Something that Richard obviously did because of what she said about Gabby and what she has done to the weight loss industry. Susan tries to condone her behavior by giving us the definition of “f@gg@t” … while it is defined as kindling, let’s discuss why. In the times of Joan of Arc and then again later during the witch hunts, homosexuals were set on fire and thrown underneath these people who were burned at the stake, that is where the term “flamer” comes from. Susan if you read this, and I doubt that you do, I am a small blogger, although you did watch my videos and block me because I disagreed with you… I hope that you wake up and realize what you say does have power… and that you are a hate filled person, who will have a special place in hell next to Howard Stern.

I know this is a long one, I’ll be back in a few days with an update to tell you what’s going on with me and this new plan.

Love always,

Formerly Fat… on the way to ME!
