Happy 35th Birthday puddlespalace1!

The band has definitely changed my life and it has been the best decision i've made in my life. If you want the band to work for you, you have to make it work, its up to you! My scars are not bad, the smaller ones are becoming really un-noticable. The large on that is in the middle of my stomach (where the port is) you can see clearly but, i'm sure that it will go away. THe scars are truely the last thing on my mind & its just a little reminder

It has been both hard and easy to lose the weight. The hard part has been not eating, since I was a food addict I would eat when I was bored, nervous, upset, etc even when I wasn't hungry. It's been hard to restrain myself from eating all of the time. The easy part has been getting the determination to keep going, every time I look at the scale and its lower then what it was & when i put my really loose jeans on it makes me keep going! Yes the band is just a tool, there is truely no "easy" way to lose weight. My doctor drilled that into my head, this is just a tool. And you have to use the tool right in order for it to work for you. You have to eat healthy & less; and you have to exercise. Without the band there is no way that I could have lost 40 pounds in 4 months. It has allowed me to eat less, I finally knwo what full feels like, before the band i would never get full so I would eat ALOT even if it was healthy food.
