Day 29 the Lap Band

I’ve finally decided to keep track of my own weight.  I haven’t been because when I was over 300 pounds, my scale wasn’t accurate (actually it “broke” sometime over 305).  I’ve been watching it carefully as I was afraid I would have to replace it.  I’m not quite at my lowest weight, but I’m getting closer. 

Speaking of my scale, I love it, it’s one of those fancy BMI scales and it measures in .1 of pounds. That’s really nice when you want a gradual weight loss — I’m hoping for 2-3 pounds a week, which I think I’m getting — will let you know in a few weeks.

Did something I haven’t done in ages.  I’ve thought about it, but haven’t done — I went to the Galleria in Dallas and did the mall thing.  Left when I over spent, but walked most of the 3rd and 2nd floor.  Stopped in the middle and had sugar-free iced coffee and tweeter to take a breath.  Found some really cool glittery red combs in a kiosk — where I spent to much — and she has some other things for me to spend too much on the future.  Good sales woman, could take her hair stuff and create a really pretty hair style in seconds.  Wish she had some plain, not glittery stuff, would definitely buy.  And of course, red for school spirit Fridays.  I believe this counts as a NSV — spending a morning shopping. NSV is lap band for Non-Scale Victory.

I’ll have to commend Chico’s, they did a very nice job of letting me know I was too big for their clothing — asked me if I knew about their sizing which opened up a conversation to ask. Also went to Macy’s and saw that their plus size clothing is ugly and shoved off the beaten path.  Old Navy will start fitting soon.  I thought they had Plus Sizes in a few stores in Dallas, but checked with the store and the website, and no, they shove us on-line only, which means Macy’s is slightly better….

By the way, I won’t be surprised if I don’t get a fill next week.  I’m getting food stuck almost every meal.  Weird, but okay.

    Hi–I tried to leave this with the dilation post, but it doesn’t have comments enabled.
    Sounds like the answer to “why do people still get their eyes dilated” is right on the page of the company’s own site: “It is important to note however, that should any abnormalities be detected or if we cannot obtain an acceptable image, dilation may be necessary.”
    Besides, it’s cheaper for doctors offices to simply dilate everyone and see what they see, rather than invest in some likely expensive new piece of equipment.

    I think you hit it on the head, they are too cheap which means we need to get the word out and people need to vote with their feet.
