Weight Loss on Fast Forward

Ok...being new here I had read many of the blogs out there from beginning to end. Most of them I read before surgery, which means I was delirious from hunger, and some I read right after surgery, which means I was delirious from pain meds. And just recently I found another one that prompted me to read it from beginning to end and as much as I am inspired and in awe of these awesome ladies...I inadvertently created a false sense of reality. I read these amazing journeys which lasted in reality months and months but in my own little world, they all lost around 100lbs a couple of weeks. Go lap band right? Wrong! I know that that kind of weight loss is not possible but reading about others successes makes me want it that much more and it makes me wish I had started that much sooner. Ahhhh...it makes the plateaus that much harder. It is crazy the little games our minds play...huh? Does this even make any sense? It is kind of late and I really should have gone to bed about 2 hours ago but frustration is keeping me up...and hunger. I am trying to avoid the kitchen....just go to sleep...just go to sleep....don't even think about the cookie dough in the fridge...why do I even have cookie dough in my fridge? Just more questions to keep me up. Thanks for reading...is anyone reading?
