I feel so in control. I feel like I am beating my food addiction. I feel full so I dont have my craving to eat junk food. Its kind of neat because my intake is so small I want to have good healthy choices.

A friend didnt understand why I hadnt gone out to eat since banding. She is skinny . So I feel she is sort of right. When we go on vacation I am going to make a point to enjoy the doing the restaurant thing. I have enjoyed having a big dinner twice with family. I ate a small amount. I still enjoyed the family . Its not about food.

I admit I have eaten chips a few times but I was happy with just a few. Before.... I was such a 272 lb glutton. The chips,crackers,ice cream and candy is humilating to think about now.

I saw my MD today and he was so proud of me. The benefits for my diabetes is blowing my mind.

I was day dreaming about a doughnut hole today. lol. A hole! Not a dozen!!!!

I feel like I am on this wonderful adventure and am enjoying it. Im not missing all the crud I used to put in my body.

I am 8lbs from the half way mark .

I bought some 20 jeans today and a pair of 18 because I know I will be there.

:biggrin1:

I love it.....it's not about the food.....it's about family
