    10/22/09 Six Month Bandiversary!

    hay congrats!!! i read your posts alot and i have to be honest...they give me inspiration every day!!!! i am 2 weeks post-op and actually not doing tooo bad. It helps that I am super motivated and havent cheated ONCE!!! (I even just made some cupcakes~which b4 band I would have licked the cake batter till I was stuffed...and didnt taste a drop of it!!!) I dont feel as though I am depriving myself...just traveling a new path to a better me and I dont need tiny pitfalls just yet. I know a day will come when having a cupcake (just ONE) will be ok, but now I only have one thing in mind...a better me!! thanks for all your words of wisdom...and again CONGRATS to you!!!! You go girl!!!!
