Complusive Overeater!

["with the band" 1]

Why do we overeat.....do we think we may not be getting our share - do we think we need it - do we just have un-ending emotional needs that need to be quieted with food.

These are the demons we must face and we all realized that when we took on the Lap Band as our choice of weight loss assistance.

I tend to drink juice when I shouldn't (thinking because I have a cold - I need it).

Today I vowed to only drink 4 oz. at Breakfast and the rest of the day only drink Water and ice tea with no sugar.

I know when I eat a cookie here and there through out the day that - I shouldn't be doing that. Sure I might have ate a dozen or more Cookies previously - but now in my attempt to lose - do I really need to waste my prescious time delaying my goals.

We all struggle with this food thing....and knowing that we all do somehow comforts me....I know I am not alone. I know I can get up again and try again.....I have the band and I need to appreciate it and use it to the fullest of our combined abilities.

The band is like an old type push mower - it will do the job - but only if you use it correctly. It's like the old ethic - 1 + 1 = 2.

The band + your efforts = SUCCESS!!!

Take care - talking about it strangely helps to encourage me to conquer this - Thanks.
