Willpower and umm....chocolate

[Pittsburgher 261]

I never throw any goodies away, I will take extras to work to get them out of the house.

I savor my two chocolate Calcium chews every day which are actually pretty good(CVS brand). I have found that any Protein bar that has chocolate in it is completely off limits for me. It is a candy bar to me, plain and simple, and I will eat it when I buy it and then want more. sugar free Chocolate Jello pudding is quite good. And when I absolutely cannot possibly talk myself out of it, I stop at Dunkin Donuts drive through, buy a hot tea with skim milk and splenda and a banana chocolate chip muffin. Then, I immediately park the car, break the muffin in half and wrap half of it in a napkin and the bag and lock it in the trunk!! And splurge and enjoy the half of a muffin which is still not great, but way better than a whole one.

I am an expert on managing to have chocolate and still maintain the Lapband suggested way to eat. I had surgery Dec 18 and have lost 23 lbs since the day I started the pre-op liquids. I could not live without chocolate in some form at some times.

[ATTACH]40374[/ATTACH]Looks Yummy! Unfortunately I can eat EVERY thing there including cupcakes, I probably can eat 3 cup cakes in 1 sitting! I don't keep my band dangerously too tight to not eat junk food...LOL...they will slide right down... I have to have discipline

I 've made the same decision since I'afraid of possible issues caused by a tight band. I have to rely on my willpower and sense of discipline.

But when it comes to chocolate..willpower doesn't work, because mine is addiction! Maybe I had better not eat chocholate at all. Have you ever heard a doctor telling a drug addict : " have just a bit" ?

How do you know when your band is too tight that it is "Dangerous" ???

I hear many people say this, and It is true...it can be too tight...but how do you know when it is???

temptations...you just can't resist them simply right? It takes a whole lot of discipline.
