Vacation summary

Took a 2 day vacation, I wanted to eat like I normally eat on vacation, which is large quantities of yummy delicious stuff. Couldn't do it, felt a bit controlled by my band. Not sure if I like that feeling. On one hand im happy that I didn't eat and gain a bunch of weight but on the other hand I didn't get to do something I enjoy. It makes me think of what Oprah says, 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. I think once I am thin I will be glad, but since im currently not there yet it just feels like im going without. Oh well, im just glad to be home and back on track and in the groove and routine.

I know exactly what you mean...went on vacation and promised myself one eating day...was OK but not like the 'good old days' And yet was relieved not to have gained like other vacations and so the band is definitely a duel edged sword for us. Keep going and the end goal has to be worth a bit of band control don't you think?
