Carole B

Hi There, My name is Carole, i live in Manchester, UK and I had my band fitted in 2007 with a start weight of 19 stone. (I now have 8 mils in my band) After several fills and coping reasonably well with my diet I started losing weight and In 2011 I hit the 13 stone mark and fluctuated between 12 stone 7 and 13 stone up until July 2013 when i reached my goal weight of 10 stone 11lbs.. Between then and now I have had an awful lot of emotional issues going on in my life due to a break up in my marraige. I am an emotional eater and when I am upset my comfort is food!! During this time i have put on weight and I am now 11 stone 13lbs... there is no way I want to let myself go up into the next stone mark... but I feel so out of control... I feel a lot better emotionally at the moment and need to get myself back into letting my band help me. I need to lose approx' 16lbs, so not a great deal, but to do it I feel i need some help. I would appreciate it if anyone has any advice to give, or has been in a similar situation that can help me get back on track. Many Thanks Carole

thanks for the reply.. yes i do eat slider foods!!! I am trying my best to eat proper food, but sometimes end up being sick because of my restriction. I think i need to start again with the basics, eat small amounts little and often and chew chew chew!! I will let you know how i go on Carole x
