    Folks ask me how I dealt with Thanksgiving last year. It's funny, because I cooked Thanksgiving dinner last year for about 14 people I hosted at my home. The thing is, you just can't focus on the food. I remember when food was EVERYTHING. The band changed all that for me, and I had to find other things to focus on. So, I sat myself next to my 2-yr-old goddaughter, and that kept me really busy LOLOL. I also engaged in all the conversations - that's what family get-togethers are REALLY all about, right? Time with the family? So, I took small bits of my band-friendly favorites, and just nibbled: ate slow, chewed very well, waited for each bite to hit the pouch before deciding if I was ready for more.
     
    I guess the bottom line is: I'm banded, and I ACCEPT that. I EMBRACE it! I do NOT fight it. Food is NOT the be-all and end-all of family gatherings and celebrations.
     
    Get to know your family and friends again! My family had been missing me for years because I kept hiding behind the dinner plate.
     
    And most of all - give thanks. :willy_nilly:

    By Freetofly,

    I've never blogged before, thought I'd try it out see what the fuss is all about
    Been banded a year and a half now. Looking for a final weight of 160 or less. That would be bikini weight for me, although by then I'll be looking like a SharPei, so I think I'll stick with major spandex in my swimnwear.
