How do you stay motivated when you're tired, busy, stressed out?

I find the hardest time is in the evening. I like the flavors for my Water and diet hot chocolate. They give me a little something to look forward to. It doesn't necessarily get easier so you'll need to create a plan that works for you. In the beginning I visited this site really often and got a lot of motivation from here. I also spent a lot of time on youtube educating myself on how this band is going to work for me.May I suggest to you on youtube, 8 golden rules of lapband, introduction 1 - 4.

I try to remember that food does not cure stress or fatigue. So I try to create a timeline strategy for when Hagen-Daaz calls my name. First acknowledge, this stress/fatigue will pass faster than the quart I want to down, next I drink a full glass of water and plan my next down time as "pamper me " time. Which can be listening to relaxing feel good music, a bubble bath, an old movie or mani-pedi. Next plan my special treat to go with my pamper me time. Usually I'll make a protein drink into a super yummy Frappe and sometimes when I'm feeling self indulgent, I will put a nip of rum into my shake. Aahhhhhh. My mini slice of heaven and very little side effects. Bye bye Hagen-Daaz!
