December 7

I'm finally starting to figure out how to work with my band instead of against it. I finally have restriction, this is what I wanted but I have still been trying to eat too much. I realized today that I have to change my mind set and down grade my portion size. Sounds silly but for some reason I have been taking the same old portions and then getting upset when I couldn't eat them even though I really didn't want to.

Head hunger is a hard thing for me. Thank God for therapy.

Yes it is all crazy. I don't even bother getting a regular size plate anymore. I usually eat from a tea saucer or salad plate.

Thanks for commenting in my journal- I think the salad plate is a great idea. That would just help from the start not to overload the plate.
