All we can do is look forward to the next thing. I am not banded. All I can do is look forward to the day when I am.

For those just banded - all you can do is look forward to the day that bandster hell is finally over and weightloss truly begins.

For those in weightloss - all you can do is look forward to the day when you hit your goal weight.

For those at goal weight - all you can do is look forward to the day that you never gain an ounce back.

Doesn't seem so bad to me. I love looking forward to things! And what I look forward to changes daily. That's ok - figuring out new goals and projects is part of the fun of life!

What will I be like when this unweightloss program is over? What will I be like when I am banded and mad? What will I be like when I realize there was no reason to be mad and progress IS happening? What will I be like when I realize I AM losing weight for good? Will I remember the frustration of the previous phase and stop worrying? I hope so. I cannot wait to find out!

Disclaimer - this is in no way meant to be thorough or complete about all the all-we-can-do's we run into in life or with the band. This is just something to remind me that struggles happen and perspective matters!
