cowgirl:so how does lap banding fit in with this theory? you're talking about personally finding little weight loss information. maybe rather than criticising you could take it as an opportunity to have an open mind because maybe, just maybe, you might learn one small thing that could help you. personally speaking.
it off. or go for a walk?
just a thought.
On the band.
Yes I have found loosing weight hard.
As a disabled person the classical start walking advice seemed inappropriate because to achieve some sort of weight loss it would seem that several hours or more a week spread over several sessions is needed.
Presently I can swim a lot further than I can walk.
I have tried several methods of loosing weight with varied success but unfortunately the long term result was unsatisfactory.
While it is essential that diet and exercise are managed well for long term weight loss I struggled to do this.
It took a long time for me to come to the realization that if I persist doing the same thing it is inevitable that I will achieve the same results.
Is it sensible to persist with something that doesn’t work for me?
It seems it took the best part of a business and economics degree for me to realise it isn’t sensible.
Logically different people have varying difficulty with loosing weight.
It is also likely that those who find controlling their weight easy never become morbidly obese.
If I was using a method that seemed unlikely to get a satisfactory result for me it seemed logical move on to something different.
While banding is an option that should only be considered if other reasonable attempts have failed.
What constitutes failure is a personal thing.
If you are happy with the results you are achieving it would seem sensible to continue with what you are doing.
As for watching the show.
It seems a good time to do some band exercises
It is better than home and away.
You can get distracted and still follow the general story.
And as I previously stated the marketing and group dynamics are interesting.
Certainly the contestants achieve some remarkable things.
However I am not prepared to make as drastic lifestyle change as these people.
Where will I be in ten years time compared to these people?
I have no idea.
However it became obvious unless I did something different where I would be in ten years time and I didn’t like that place.
