I've lost my focus

[Andrew6 0]

I remember reading an article several years back about Roseanne Bar. She had lost a lot of weight and folks kept asking her how. She finally told everyone. She said that what she would do is eat her meals in front of a mirror naked. Maybe try that and see how your focus goes? I can tell you all day long that nothing tastes better than the way thin feels etc... but the truth of the matter is you've got to change your ways and if you trip don't stay down. Get your butt back up and continue on course. Remember the band is nothing more than a tool to help you along on your weight loss and shouldn't be used as a crutch. If that doesn't help just send me your address and I'll bring a big stick w/ me. JUST KIDDING maybe. . . Either way don't let the small things get you down. I won't lie I enjoy a beer every now and again (Dark ales ie. . . Guiness, Smithwick's and Shiner Black seem to have less carbonation so less gas pains). Also I enjoy a starbucks too (I have a weakness for a salted carmel hot chocolate). That being said take the things that you love or can't live with out and make them something special to you. Enjoy them once a week or when you reach certain goals. It makes that one thing that much more special. Bon chance', I wish the best to everyone and remember the mirror for your next focus loss.

Thank you for the advice/pep talk Andrew. I appreciate it.

Since I posted that I have gotten back on track...saw my doctor, had a fill of .2cc's and lost 4 lbs. YAY for me!

I now enjoy trying to take my favorite foods and make them band friendly, even calorie friendly...I avoid real sugar foods ( though I know what you mean about that salted caramel hot chocolate from SB ).

Last night I did try the naked eating thing..it did work, but thank goodness I was snacking on a sugar free Jello pudding. I looked down only once. But I will continue to keep that in mind for any real emergency craving's...:juggle:
