There's no "on a diet" or "off a diet." The band is always with me...vacations, birthdays, celebrations, weekends....so incredibly glad to no longer have the "I'll start again Monday" song playing over and over in my head.

Out of food jail, not on a diet, able to make good choices and override brain chatter (chatter that isn't even that present anymore). Oh, and I love my size 10 jeans.

Thanks, Paris Shel, needed an upper!

I've reclaimed my power.

The best thing about my band is that I get to choose good quality foods that taste good to me and my band does the rest by keeping me from eating too much of those awesome foods! Because of that, I will never be fat again and I have reclaimed my health! I can enjoy life like I did when I was kid! And shopping in regular stores for my size 6 jeans and small-medium tops is pretty nice too :D

The word "Diet" is now just another 4 letter word....the band has total control of my hunger, portion sizes, and has forced me to choose the healthiest foods every time I do eat......

People all around are constantly talking about diet fads and loosing weight...it's a national obsession. All over the TV....and people are getting rich off it because it's not permanent...

I have absolutely no fear of ever gaining weight back, and being set free of all that nonsense....as long as the band remains a constant, everything else will....no matter whee I am or what I am doing...the band does not change...

EASY way out? Yea! SO WHAT!!!! Would I be happier doing it the "Hard Way" and do diet after diet the rest of my life? With no results? Always being fat?

I have been set free of all that!!!!

Theses are such great responses. Thanks for reminding us bandsters why we changed our lives.

I'm so thankful not to fight my hunger all day every day. No more battle with me. Peaceful calm mind (concerning food). Work.. Family.. Still some drama

That is my life now and I am keeping it all the same and enjoying it. Never thought headed for 60 could feel so wonderful!

That it adjusts to fit me and my lifestyle.

The hope that one day I will have a large success to share and enjoy. It is wonderful to have HOPE again
