The "I truly have no shame" PB question

[Stitchy 0]

... I look forward to PBs and restriction in a weird demented moving forward kind of way.

Kind of like a rite of passage?

[503-250 1]

I guess a rite of passage, or at least a confirmation that I am well restricted.

I haven't had any real restriction. I feel full, but when I eat enough to feel full I feel like I am eating WAY too much. For a perfect example, I am easily able to finish two slices of pizza. I think that is way outside of what one of the well restricted banders would tell you is possible. So I don't eat two slices, and ever since the crust incident I mentioned earlier, I don't eat the crust.

503 are you losing weight without feeling restricted? I feel restriction (more some days than others) but I'm not losing very much lately.

[503-250 1]

yes, I am losing some weight, but VERY slowly, and recently (had a massive gout attack and found out I also have Rhuematoid Arthritis) have been fairly immobile, so I lost nothing since my last fill. I was truly devastated, I'm not feeling full, i'm not feeling restricted, i'm in a lot of pain (from gout and RA) and i'm feeling deprived because i'm constantly hungry. Then when I do eat more then I should, I feel like i'm cheating and basically i'm screwing myself over. It's very frustrating.

Is anyone else over 80% filled on a 10cc band?
