These habits and addictions didn't occur overnight and they won't go away that fast wither.....in fact, this will probably be a life long battle. It will be hard, we may falter, but in the end we must prevail! I say to myself every morning when I wake up "This day I battle...this day I will fight hard, this day I WILL be the victor!"
You're already working on your eating habits, which is good, but work harder to fight the boredom and the mind hunger. Instaed of chips...keep a hand tensioner that will work out your fingers, wrist and forearms while sitting at your desk. It has helped me.
Good luck and always look to the LBT for support!

You're not alone. Food addiction is very serious...trust me, I know! When I first looked into the band I wondered to myself and worried...could I actually be THIS committed?!? You are correct in that it is about retraining the mind...learning new eating habits and just making better food choices. The band is no easier than a diet...it is just an additional tool, as you said. You can do this...you know what you have to do. No more excuses.
I play guitar...not well, but I play. When I feel the urge to eat or I get mind hungry...I pick up my guitar and practice until my fingers are sore. Placing the focus elsewhere is what helped me. It might be able to help you. Take a up new hobby or revisit an old one. Something that you can focus on when those addictions come knockin on the door again......most importantly.....drink your water!
I wish you success and joy on your continued journey. It's not too late to do it right.

It's these kind of testimonials that keep me so motivated and inspired! Congrats girl...You ARE going to do it!

Goal and CG...lighting the fires of inspiration and motivation! You girls rock it everyday and I'm glad to have you as buddies. Getting my butt in gear and taking this day on!

Yes that day off in the middle of the week is brutal! I enjoyed the day, but holy crap it messes with the body clock. For some reason I kept thinking today was Friday.
Now go work out before I crack the whip! WHHAAA PPISSSHHH!

Happy 1 weekversary!! Truer words have never been spoken.

You go girl!!! I managed to get in an hour of laps in the pool and my arms are killing me now...lol!
