It's December already! Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays!

I had another fill in November and now I'm up to 2 and half cc's. I had only lost 2 pounds over the six weeks since the previous fill, but I guess that's better than gaining. I am finding that when I eat too fast it hurts and then I gag until I go spit it up. I guess that's a sign that the stomach has tightened. The loss has been very slow, but I think I have lost more in inches than pounds. I need to get a tape measure out and keep track. A new goal!

Some of the clothes I couldn't fit into previously, now fit.

It's still frustrating that the process is slow, but then again, I haven't been following any type of restricted diet since Thanksgiving. In that sense, I have only me to blame. I am just grateful that at least the scale isn't going up.

I have asked for a local community membership to exercise for Christmas. I am hoping to sign up for an exercise class, I haven't been consistent at all on that aspect.

I can see that the battle with food is still a problem in my head and I need to keep working on that. I don't have a support group where I can attend that is close by. Does anyone want to have a group in the Cary, Morrisville area? I sure could use a group to talk to.

That's my latest and greatest. I admittedly am worried over the holidays but I have noticed quite a drop in my hunger so I don't eat as large of an amount as I use to.
