Banded life is not what I expected. No, the weight doesn't fall off but I also don't have to obsess about every bite that goes into my mouth or go insane with exercise. If I eat a relatively healthy diet and stay active then I slowly and consistantly drop. How could I be so lucky?!?!

 

I've noticed recently however that my taste in foods is changing. I have always been a meat eater but these days I could go without it and not miss it. Weird, and again, unexpected. Luckily my love of beans has grown ridiculously as my love affair with meat has dwindled so I can live off the beans for protein. I, err, may never have a good dating life again given the, umm, "side effects" from the beans, but for now it'll do.

 

Another unexpected...I've had a really tough week emotionally. Bad things have happened (they won't kill me, I will survive, but in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty big deal) and rather than sit on the couch and eat potato chips, I sort of just don't want to eat. I guess my old buddy "comfort food" is no longer my best friend and companion...again, not a bad thing, just, well, surprising.

Yeah it is amazing the changes we go thru!! My doctor firmly believes that walking and IF you can throw in swimming that is all the exercise you need. I am living proof that it works. That is all I do well besides chase a 3 yr old boy!! I eat just about every food there is besides sweets (I have lost that taste bud..I do try them..just don't like them any more) and I consistently lose weight! I am with you..how can I be so lucky?? I think it has more to do with having such a positive out look! Good luck with that dating life and the love of beans..I am still laughing on that one!! Take care and keep up the great work!!

I love the statement "how can I be so lucky?". We are, we are. I can't wait for the day when I don't crave potatoes in any form, congratulations on thinking that.

I'm sorry you have had a bad week; I applaud your approach to the emotions and wish you a better week :-).

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
