Call me the blogger hog....

I love to write about how I am doing. It just gives me pause first thing in the morning to think about what needs to be done. Then in the evening it gives me pause to reflect on what I did do and how I might improve my following day. Writing about it gives me something to look back at.

 

Good news, my scales battery is going, which means the readings are all over the place, first thing this morning it said 207.5 that would be down 2 lbs, I stepped on it twice and got the same reading, then 30 minutes later I wanted to show my hubby the good news and it came up to 211.5 and then the Lo batter light started flashing. So I am thinking the 207.5 is correct. Seeing as I was 209 two days ago.

 

I don't know why I enjoy stepping on the scale every moring. Just knowing that I am loosing something, because right now, the surgery is still sort of surreal. It's not like I feel anything around my gut, ya know. So it is just odd to me that this could even be working. I sort of just feel like I am on some weird diet. I know once the restrictions start to come in play it will be different.

 

Well I am off to get some Cream of Wheat and dthen bring my protein with me along on this crazy busy day. Wishing you all the best.

 

What is the best thing about the band for you? Besides the weight loss? I mean, after a while do you even realize it's there? Does it just become a habit change, little to no thought goes into it? I wonder and I am hoping so!

LoseIt!

I write in my blog every weekday. Althought I ABSOLUTELY LOVE comments I get from people, I do it for myself. Several times through this process, I have gone back and read my entries and it really helps me realize how far I have come.

As I approch 10 months banded, it has definitely become my lifestyle. The best thing about my band is that I can't go crazy and binge. In my former life, when I would get stressed, upset, etc., I would eat, eat, eat. I can't do that now and I'm always glad the next day. :) Although I don't obsess about it, I always know it's there. It has been the best answer for me.

Thanks for the imput, I love comments too. Makes me smile. I am so glad I found this board. We all come from different walks of life and have different priorities but we are all traveling this particular road together. I can't wait until I get past this initial month thing. I think once I start getting fills it will settle in for me. More realisitic lifestyle.
