It's Gonna Be A Good Day...

Found my engagement ring this morning!!!! Right where it was supposed to be.... weird, but so happy that that is over. Scary feeling! So now I going to clean my house, then wait until 4 so that I can see the new Twilight, then go to bed. Then tomorrow I'm going to make my last few calls to figure out this insurance thing and then.... COMMIT! I can feel it! less than 6 months and I KNOW that I'm going to be banded!!

Now to just start working on changing a few habits to get ahead of the game. Like eating slower and not drinking while eating. those are going to be two hard habits to break. If anyone has any advice on how to start to break these habits go ahead and let me know!

    I am very happy you found your ring.

    ​A few hints-eat protein first and chew, chew, chew. I started my sort of diet in March and was banded 7/30. I am not a breakfast eater so I started and still have every morning a protein shake. I love them. i only drink chocolate and I sometimes add decaf instant coffee and peppermint extract and lots of ice and they are thick like a McDonald's shake. I have a small blender that is also a drinking cup.

    Good luck. I wish I knew about this site before my banding.
