I work in a corporate office for a major book retailer. Every year at Christmas time we have what is called an International Cookie Festivle! It's different Cookies from all over the world. I think this year we had over 8,500 cookies.

After being banded it's hard to go to the cookie festivle and have any cookies because I had already ate lunch and filled up on all my protien! I guess I'm just a little sad that I couldn't partake in the cookie fun. Oh well, I guess if I had a choice between the cookie festivle and losing 30 pounds in 2 months I'd take the weight loss!

Thanks for listening

thats so funny! i would be in cookie hell!! you did the *smart* thing by filling up on protien! I am proud of you for that! i think i'd take the 30 pound loss to!

lets all :think shed a tear for the Cookies we wont be eating! oh wait i mean SHED A POUND! FOR THE COOKIES WE WONT BE EATING!!!

great job you'll be hula dancing before you know it!

You should go out and buy a new pair of shoes or

nail polish to reward yourself!!You deserve it;)

WOW!! As a pre-bander it is so hard for me to fathom being able to walk away from Cookies. I am so proud of you and those pounds lost will more than make up for the cookies.

Way to go!

Thank you all for the cheers! It wasn't easy to turn down cookies, but I did it. Actually it wasn't too hard once I was full, I had my first PB experience the other day and I never want to do that again!
