I have to say this is the first in my adult life . I had a very stressful week and unlike every other time that I managed it by stuffing my face with food, I had no appetite to eat and actually lost 4 pounds. Having this band on since five weeks ago has allowed me to learn to eat on time, enjoy every bite, and be in control. Of course there are times that my head orders me to eat more and more but I just stop because for the first time in a long time, I feel I am in control and I just love that feeling. Hope you are all feeling good today too.

Katie, that is awesome! I know what you mean about the "being in control" part. I was banded on October 1st and am just understanding that. I love it too! Congrats on your 4lb loss this week - well done!

Stop by my blog too if you ever want to read my ups/downs and look for encouragement (most are pretty positive but you know how it is when you have "just one of those days"!

Keep up the great work

Those words, "eat on time, enjoy every bite, and be in control" should be embroidered on a pillow...they are words to live by...thanks!!
