I do that, but I've been known to spit it out too. And you're right, it happens when I'm over hungry. Never finished learning,huh?

Been there done that *ugh*

I'm a newbie as well and appreciate your honesty. And who better to rant to then others who know how hard it can be? It sure does sound like you have a lot to deal with in addition to losing weight. Hang in there!! I can't wait to get the help of the band.

I'm glad your feeling better! It will only be better from here.

Fantastic post!! I love you. lol! I can relate... completely! Continued success and best wishes.

Congratulations on the band. I use skim milk only in my shakes from day one. I never used water. That thought is gross. I use a little decaf instant coffee, peppermint extract and tons of ice and make the best thick shake. I have one very morning, oh ya, I use 2 scoops of the protein to make sure I get in enough. I had the band in July and have been drinking the shakes for one year now. By having the shakes for breakfast I lost 28 pounds before the band. Good luck and welcome to the best site for help, opinions and laughs and cries.

Thank you for that. I like how you did the butter size and ball bearing size and their weight, that was super. I still see fat but my body fits into much smaller sizes than I thought for my weight.

Great list..... I'm going Zip Lining when I reach my goal weight!

Thought for the week ... Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday. I love that. I may adopt the same daily mantra! Thanks for sharing.

Please don't listen to the idiot troll Awanda, she/he/it is hitting every thread on here talking complete BS. Overcoming emotional eating and grazing is hard. I know that's something I've always struggled with too. I find distracting myself helps. I know this is going to sound weird, but night is my hardest time, so I've kinda "trained" my brain. Every night I brush my teeth and take a hot bath when I feel the urge to graze. Now, it's like a signal to my brain "oh it's bath and clean teeth time, we're done eating for the night". I know it sounds weird but it's worked. I also find keep safe food around for when I just have to have something. I really like both dill pickles and cucumbers. Both are zero calories, so when I need something I grab one. Hang in there.
