You know how to word things....~hugs~

Great blog. We can be our worst enemy or our best friend, it's our choice.
Happy New Year!

So very true!

well said, Cheryl!

no other words needed:
As the new year approaches, stop betraying yourself with the band. Follow your instructions that you were given and even if your weight loss is slow, a pound loss is a loss no matter how you look at it.

That's why they call it Furr-niture LOL

love dogs and love you 2

I love dogs and they are all sooooo cute!

Thanks for sharing this Cheryl...wow who cant relate to the monday morning diets.....~hugs~

they are all so cute. I see dogs on furniture.

It's never ending.... This is a good reminder.... Thanks

Lately I have had to do a re due. I had to get my phone out to time between bites.... Funny almost a year into this and I still have to go back to the basics.

My husband says I still eat too fast. For me, I think it is slow. I do drink a real lot. I don't chew 30 times, depends on the foods as to how much I chew. I guess it's time for a re due.
Thanks for the post.

Thank you Cheryl for sharing these most valuable "pearls of wisdom"...we can all benefit from learning!

Are you a nurse??? If not you should work for a WL DR. You give great advice:) Check my blog I need some good advice from a long time bander

~hugs~ great post Cheryl....

Wow, your timing is impeccable. I've been at the same weight for 2 1/2 weeks. This is unfamiliar territory for me, and has become a bit of a frustration.
After reading your post, I'm certainly hitting most things on your checklist: poor sleep, major stress, poor bowel movements, and not enough protein.
I'm certainly not ready to throw in the towel, but I appreciate reading what you wrote to keep me in line & focused.
Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you Cheryl, I'm at a stall right now and this helps put things back in perspective.

I only do real foods. I eat butter not fake chemicals.
Talking about dressing, in MA we have a famous steak house, Ken's. They have their own salad dressings and marinades. I have been using their diet Caesar as a marinade for about 15-20 years. It is wonderful. I also buy their Sesame Ginger Marinade, sodium free. They are very good.
I don't use salad dressing on salad, never have. I eat salad dry. I am weird.

Great post Cheryl.
I remember at WW you were required to have 2TSP good fat per day.
Thanks for the reminder!

This is a GREAT post for newbies! Thanks

Glad that's all it was. But definitely a reminder of the lap band basic rules. It takes us months to get it down, get in the groove and then get too comfortable and have to relearn them again. Thanks for sharing!

My gallbladder is long gone. I had it out in 2005! lol. No this was just not eating the lap band way.
