Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. It has really helped. I made myself a binder with several tabs: daily food journal, exercise log, my thoughts (for when I'm struggling I can just write what I'm felling), quotes (thanks for my first quote in my binder "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!"), and a weight chart. So far this has helped too. I'm really glad I found this blog to help me with my struggles. My mom tries to help and encourage me too, but she just doesn't understand exactly what I'm feeling because she doesn't have the band. Yall know what I'm going through because yall have experienced it too. Again, Thanks!!!!!

I am really having a hard time with my dieting and eating. I had the Lap band sugery on Dec. 28, 2011. The first month was awesome. I wasn't hungry and I did great. I went for my first fill On Jan. 13, 2012, and he put 2 cc. in my band. Now I am stuggling. I am eating way too much and I realize I have a problem with food that goes beyond being hungry. I think about food all of the time. I eat for really know reason. I've not gained any weight but I have not lost any since my first fill. I need some help with getting over the joy of eating. I eat when I'm bored really bad. I also eat when I'm sad or down. When something good happens then I think I have to eat to celebrate. Does anyone else have this problem and how can I overcome this. I am really getting discouraged.
