My sister is who is 19 is really overweight, infact shes morbidly obese. Doctors have said that if she doesnt lose weight, she could die within the next 10 years and id hate that. My mom and i persuaded her to go on a diet and after 2 months shed only los 4 pounds. So my mom and dad caved in and agreed to pay for gastric band operation, which i'm all for if it is the last resort because i dont want to lose my sister, But i was in her room the other day and i litrelly found hundreds of wrappers. Chips, chocolate, candy, mcdonalds, burgerking, kfs, coke cans, dr pepper, all stashed in a garbage sack in her wardrobe. I dont know whether to tell my mom or dad or my sister. Because they are going to put her through a life threatning operation when it could all be prevented, but i dont want to hurt my sister. I dont understand how she feels, ive never been over weight so i dont know if she just think im being a b*^%ch,
I guess you know why she lost only 4 lbs., right? Dieting and banding won't stop the problem. Your sister overeats for a reason and until the reason is addressed, weight loss won't happen. Food means more to her than good health. The comfort from food is immediate. You can't say that about weight loss. Dieting and exercise are not exactly fun.
If it's at all possible, she should be seeing a psychlogist and might benefit from an antidepressant as well. If you can convince her to attend a consultation, you could be on the way to saving her life. Gastric surgery won't be done until other means have been exhausted. And she will still need to lose a certain amount of weight to make surgery safer for herself. Remind her that you love her and want her healthy, happy and around for a very long time.
hey guys!! i am ashamed to admit that i am addicted to bonne bell lip smackers and the lip lites and any thing. i'm usually a makeup snob but can't stand paying prices in the department stores any longer, so i've bought a ton of these lol. they are an addiction! i never used them in high school; there was a different line out then; they were in these little pots.
but then in college i discovered cappucino lip lite. it gave color, flavor and smell ... omg, i was addicted and still am to this day. i went through a depression for a couple of years and only now have come out of it and have gotten myself addicted to this lipgloss again.
what's your favorite flavor? i know that a lot of gals are addicted to the dr. pepper, but what else, if anything? i know you gotta have something from bonne bell in your makeup bag for lips lol. even if you keep it stashed back in your drawer for no one to see lol ...
