Great Quote I Found.......

Hey guys! August will be here before we know it and if you are like me, you are starting to get a bit scared, anxious, excited, etc.
on getting banded. While we all know the band is only a "tool", but thought this sounded more "profound" to me. I found this great quote (I guess a quote) on another band site by a registerd dietician and she said,
"Get committed to the process, NOT the outcome". She was replying to a post someone left saying they were not losing the weight like they felt they should. She determined they weren't following the rules and not eating properly.
So basically we need to get committed to the process of not drinking when we eat, getting enough protein, stay away from "sliders", chewing enough, taking small bites, etc. And stop focusing on the the outcome of being skinny or losing tons of weight straight out of the gate.
Anyway, I liked that way of thinking and thought I would share it w/ all of you August Bandsters in hopes it will help with your way of thinking also
