the shrinking David

hello I am Dave and I weigh 210 this week . I have not been under 245 in 20 years. I've been chubby since age 12 but never went above 230 and I could diet own to 210 or 220 every few years.I was on liquid protein in high school, back packed around europe at 25 and lost weight then. and have always been active. 3 years ago after getting up to 289 I started to consider the lap band. my family was against it and suggested nutrasystems. I lost 50 lbs but still would over eat and just work out more. I was back up to 280 within the year.I had the surgery april 5 2010 . I had lost 18 lbs before the operation and 52lbs since. my food choices have been pretty good since but I still must push myself to eat slowly. I feel like it will take a long time for my brain to react to food like it should. I still dont feel full or satiated but I know I dont want to feel the pain of overeating.I work in construction so I dont exercise as regularly as i should but I am improving.
