hey.. so I'm going for my free consultation night on the 30.. but I know I have a problem with food and want to try to get on the right track.. does anyone know of any really good self help, or will power books that might help guide me or give me some confidence? thanks!

No, but I was/am a food aholic. I worried my self sick on how I was going to give food up especiall sweets. Oddly, it wasn't that hard. Oh I still induldge once in a while but I fill up on healthy stuff and don't keep junk in the house. It works for me!

Good Luck!

Going to the seminar is a good start. You may even want to consider counseling. food addiction is very real and a lot of us need help to battle it. It's not like alcohol where you can just never drink again, we have to eat many times a day to live, so our addiction is always in our face.

Btw, I too was/am a food addict big time. The band doesn't and can't cure that, but so far I have been able to keep it under control since being banded.
