Excuses, Excuses

My reward... there's a massage school very close to my house. If I can even stop eating past dinner, I'll get a full body massage Saturday. I have two Slumber Parties booked, too. Believe it or not, my second job is a huge reward!

This is where I have been for almost 8 months. I stay the same weight and eat pretty much what I want. Religion keeps me from eating meat so I don't do that, so to get Protein I need shakes or a lot of Beans that I suck at cooking, so it's the shake at least one a day. The bad stuff is the Protein I get in cheese, or fatting stuff like that. Still with 2.3 cc in the band I can eat almost a full meal at a restaurant, it takes awhile but can be done. Now if I want to not eat???? Just take a big bite of something, and swallow, like pizza, a sandwich, whatever...... Once that big bite of food is in the pouch? It will not let me eat anything else. I have trained myself to eat sooooooo slooooow, and I can get most of the meal down. NOW.......... if I get this next fill, (which I am scared crap of) I will be full right away, that will end my overeating, for sure.

So Lady's, if you are having trouble eating too much???? Get another fill, that will stop even, mashed potato's, in fact, you have to drink Water slow. So there it is, use the band, and it will set you free. If I could control my eating, HECK....... I would not need the band. The only reason I got the darn thing to start with was because I could not eat correctly, no matter how much I worked out, or what I ate or didn't eat. Let's be honest girls, if we could diet why would we need the band??? What I think is a lot of use are overwhelmed with fear, fear about losing the weight, fear of not getting enough food, or fear of being thin???? I wonder?? So there you have it. 5 cent's therapy.

PS. I will let you all know when I go, and get my next fill, when I overcome this fear to reach the next Leave, to start losing weight again. And stop beating the band.
