what a difference a year makes ... maybe ???

This time last year, I was banded, but didnt have much restriction. This year, I dont have as much as I HAVE had because they took out a full CC , and did a fluroscope. I dont get to have a fill until Dec 4 :-(

So, I KNOW the basics. i KNOW what I'm supposed to do. I KNOW I'm supposed to change my habits. I KNOW I'm supposed to exercise. THEN WHY DON'T I DO IT ???? ANY of it ???? :crying:

I still have really crappy eating habits, i don't exercise at all on a regular basis, I throw up constantly because I eat too much, or the wrong foods, or too fast. Yes, i'm down 60 pounds - and I'm thrilled with that. But many others are down TWICE that, in the same amount of time ! Why ?? They've changed their habits and exercise !!!! WTF! Why can't I get this into my head ??? It's not that difficult a concept to understand ... SHEESH ! :cursing:

Ok , that being said, I DO read and re-read all of my materials, books, etc... on WLS to get me motivated. I'm also a Foodie ... I love to food, and cooking. I read / subscribe to many mags , and buy tons of cookbooks. But lately I look at them, and I try to see what other ingredients I can swap out - to make it lower in fat, higher in Protein, etc... Thats a step in the right direction , isn't it???

:ohmy:

Sounds like your starting to do some soul searching. Do you have a special goal for yourself? That helps me a lot. I also kind of have to just let myself get a bit obsessed with fitness every now and than. It gets me back on the right track. Its not difficult but it is still hard. I bet you will be back in the grove of things soon. Try to stay positive and strong :cursing: I am new to being banded and I can see myself already comparing to others and there experiences with weightloss. I think this is good and bad. Write me anytime if you feel like talking :ohmy: I'm new and would love to hear about your journey.

Where are you from ? How old are you ? When were you banded? How much have you lost? Want to lose?

blah blah blah lol

I have been reading The Gabriel Method and he suggests that the reason our body craves junk is because we are not giving it the nutrition it needs. He suggests adding healthy foods to your diet instead of taking away unhealthy foods. The idea is that, once your body knows it is going to regularly get what it needs, you will not crave junk any more.

So what's the Gabriel Method ? I've never heard of it. I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions :-)
