A New Start-Once Again

Well. I am starting "AGAIN". I am hoping to be successful. I just need to loose 30 pounds. That's not asking for much!!! My biggest problem is I don't eat. I have no appetite. I guess when you have been banded as long as I have you will find that you are not wanting to eat....Sometimes I will get hungry and take one bite, and feel too tight. At that point, I just pass on the meal. I am always tight in the AM and then as the day goes on I will loosen up. I have started back on water. I bought some Country time on the go and I use 1/2 a pack in my water. I am hoping that will help me with my water intake. I am very lacking in that area.   One thing I can say is this. This "tool" that I have a round my stomach works in conjuction with the things that I should have been doing all along. There is not quick fix regarding weightloss. The band just gurantees that I will not get much bigger that I am.   I will close now...... My goal is to start back journaling 2-3 times a week.

TUESDAY!

Well Work has been complete Hell! I have been so swampped and busy that I have not had time to post to my journal. :confused: I said I was going to make an effort. As of now, I have lost 12-13 pounds. :clap2: My scale can be tempermental! So I have 20 pounds to go to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. I am so exhausted.:bored I know it's from not eating enough. I have been under so much stress, I just don't have the desire. I know that is not good. Something is going to have to give. I am sure winning the lottery is out of the picture. :omg:   My Goals are:   Drink more water!! Exercise!! Journal more! Take vitamins!!

Thursday!

Well so far so good. No Candy, Sweets, of any kind since Monday...which is a huge accomplishment for me since every other desk in the department has a candy stocked full of good stuff!!!! :clap2:   The one thing that I would like to focus more on is my water intake. I have been sprinkling a little crystal light in my bottle. It has helped some. I just really hate the artifical sweetner taste!! :spit: Once I start drinking the amount of water I should, I will not use the crystal light anymore.   My eating has been Ok....eating protein first. I have not really had too may cabs or mushy foods!!!! So I feel I am on the right track. I just pray I make it through the weekend!   My goal next week...the Y. I have already made a playlist for my MP3 player. I included workout/motivational tracks.......   I gotta make it work this time!   :gluck:

I think I am REALLY, REALLY, REALLY Ready....I HOPE!

Yesterday and Today I spent a lot of time reading various sights and groups regarding weightloss, Lapband, and diets....Well, the truth of the matter is, no matter what route you decide to take to loose weight, it's all about the sacrifice and self discipline. HUH! All this time I thought the band was going to do all the work...SILLY ME!:omg:   I will start with the small changes as I stated in my previous entry....I just hope that I can hang on to a small piece of motivation to continue to press on.   What motivates me....   MY FAMILY-I have to become more healthy to be an example for my family! SUMMER-Everyone wants to be cute during the summer...right?!? MONEY-I refuse to spend tons of money on summer clothes.   I will try to post at least 4 times a week!!   I am hoping that this will also help to motivate me! We can only see....time will tell!!!   CIAO!!!:bounce:

Gotta Start Over

Well like the saying goes...."Today is the first day of the rest of your like." :straight . I have got to get myself together. I have decided that I am going to have to buckle down and start with small changes that I know are for the best. I think that my biggest failure is looking at the whole picture instead of focusing on a couple of things to help myself along the way.:faint: My goal for this upcoming week is:   :clap2: WATER! I will not say how much. At this point, I am virtually drinking NONE! So every little bit helps.   :clap2: VITAMINS! I have some calcium and vitamin pills that I will start taking.   :clap2: BEING MORE AWARE OF WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH! I have identified myself as a stress eater....I am going to have to do something else besides eating when I am stressed!!!!   I can not say how often I can journal, but I will do the best I can.   I hope that with small changes, I can get back on track.   **For anyone reading this, I hope that I can help anyone out there that is struggling like me**   PEACE:hippie:
