Breaking Up With Food!

Well I am two months in, I am still at 24 pounds. I am not at all upset with this, I know I need another fill but probably only a little one. What I have learned is that I have a few hurdles yet to conquer. I hate exercise I have to walk. I have a dog, and a treadmill (for rainy days) I have a bow flex. I do not have ambition. lol I am battling with myself over all of this and I know my health will win. It takes time to make a lazy girl move, but the scale sitting in the same spot for a month on 1000 cal per day makes me know, to win I must move my hiney. The biggest thing I have to accept is my break up with food!! I am learning that cooking the way I always have makes me have to have the same meals for lunch all week! lol I am learning that we can make due with just two menu items, because three means lots of left overs. I am lucky to eat a little meat and Veggies. Yes I did say I need a fill, and I do have good restriction, but I am still hungry, which leads me to another battle, head hunger, and real hunger. So far my tummy tells me if I am hungry in loud angry growls, but it doesn't stop my head from saying please please just one more bite! So that is where I am at today. I am fine and feel like I am slowly but surely making progress in all areas, so here's to it! I hope you all have a great New Year! New years Resolutions, break bad habits, make new habits, and be kind to everyone!

I went through the just one more bite also. I have learned to get up and dump what I am eating! I also eat 6 times a day. It works for me and keeps that angry growl noise down! I was not into exercise when I started either but you can do this, just walk and keeping on walking. The scale will start moving and you will do more to keep it going down. Good luck

I have the same issues - I was banded on December 2, 2011. We can not change bad habits overnight. We have to take it one day at a time and make weekly goals and stop looking at the scale. If we change our lifestyles, the scale will eventually follow. Congradulations Brenda on your weight loss.

  • Remember that the scale isn't the only place where you see results. I was very surprised when I was going down in sizes but the scale was staying the same. I guess that's called NSV (non scale victories). Your body just readjusts the weight and its wonderful.
