My AHA Moment today

[Patterba 6]

I am a baby bandster (just 2+ weeks out).

However, I am not a young pup... as I clock in at 52 years old. Believe it or not, I am just starting to figure out that stress eating is my trigger and downfall.

This is the one thing that I absolutely need to get control of in my life..

Can anyone else relate..

Anyway.. I go into it all on my blog entry for today and my determination to control this personal challenge.

Be well.

Ok.. it is 5:20 pm. I am going to leave work now. I know this may not mean much to most of you. But I had an incredibly stressful day and I stayed with my food plan, did not sway, I had an Isopure drink as my snack (alot of Protein but I am well within my limits).

I hope to disconnect from the day and go for a walk this evening..

Stress is really what triggers my eating, and once I get started I go from carb to carb ... with no end in sight.

If I can learn to control this before my first fill, I will consider this a victory for me.

Good for you!

I think that the pre-op and post op periods did help me figure myself out a little more. And once you understand or realize the issue, it's easier to address it.

Good luck!

the one thing the lapband journey has done for me is to finally make me AWARE of my body. Before banding I just kind of floated through life and didn't pay attention to anything. I didn't pay attention to subtle signals my body gave me, my portions, my choices, my stress triggers, my health issues...... Just becoming "aware" made such a huge difference.
