I am feeling more positive today. I got up this morning, had my cup of coffee and a small bowl of cereal...only 160 with milk. Then I made my lunch. (this is a huge step for me, I never leave myself enough time to make lunch, and then I end up eat school lunch...lots of calories and fat...bad :sorry:) I made a small caesar salad.. only 200 calories with the dressing, parmesan, and 5 croutons....can't wait to eat it. I also got to school in time to walk the halls for a half hour while listening to my iPod...this too is a great accomplishment for me. My goal for this week is to write down everything I eat, and stay under 900 calories a day. I am having a heck of a time with no fluid in my band, so I have to be very very careful.

I have officially gained 18 lbs since my Dec. 28th appointment :confused: when I was so dehydrated and passing out. So I am telling myself that about 10lbs was from being dehydrated and the rest is due to my lack of self control. So I am officially taking back control and I am going to lose that 18 by my March appointment without fluid in my band....:grouphug:
