My Band Is Working, My Band Is Working!!!!

I had my second fill on Thursday, she gave me a little over a cc. Before now I had been holding my portions down myself and not really getting a single of I am good I don't need anymore. Since my fill on Thursday I am getting the single before I hit my normal portion size. YEAH!!

 

It is right before my TOM and I am craving sweets like crazy, but so far I have been able to just say no. Today will be difficult it is raining and we are staying in and normally this type of day would mean me in the kitchen baking, yet I know if I bake I will eat, so I just can't do that. I have considered baking something for my husband to take to work tomorrow for his co-workers, they would like that. I love to cook, to bake, to be little Ms Suzy Homemaker; just like my mom, but I know I have to break those habits to, but it is a hard one to break. I feel closer to my grandma and mom when I am baking, rainy cold days were the days they taught me how to cook. Those were the best days of my childhood.

 

Do any of you out there have a day that they allow themself a sweet treat, or do they just always say no?

food is not the enemy. eating too much of it, is.

TOM makes me hungry too and i eat more fruit at that time.

Thanks Carolina girl. The last 3 months have been a total change for me. I don't think I ever realized I was an emotional eater. But in in the south you eat for everything - to celelbrate, to greive, to have fun, to visit. When I go visit my family it's tough, my mom was always use to showing her love through food, so she is having to adjust to my new eating habits. Me, my mom, and grandma spent a lot of time together through the years. I am now an hour and a half away and my grandmother is on hospice and basically just a vegetable- really hard. The 3 of us spent a lot of time cooking for the family, canning veggies, freezing veggies, most of our time together was in the kitchen. On days like today I remember and want to be in the kitchen. I don't have kids to start new tradtitions with and doubt I will ever have any. So days like today make me remember and yearn for the days gone by.

But, I am getting up now and hitting the elliptical!!
