  1. I am having the same problems. Like u said it is head hunger. I've been snacking and probley too much wine.I need to get my butt exercising.I was banded 4/08 and have lost 70 lbs.,nothing in 5 months.I've noticed that has been the time when i stopped exercising too. I feel like I've let myself get back in the same old rutt.Ya know it is mostly mental work and sometimes thats the hardest thing to control.So hearing myself talk ,guess I need to change my head and get my butt working.
  2. OMG,I feel the same way. Everything u described is me to a tee
