:help:Hello all,

I'm back....

Here's my question. The weight loss is not the problem, it's the mental game. I am down 65 lbs in 16 weeks. I can not get over such small meal sizes. I fight myself in my head.

Tonight I had 3oz of scallops, 1 oz of sundried tomato and mushrooms and 1/2 oz of Pasta (aka: a fork full)

Any thoughts... did or is any one cope with this?

Thanks Pat

As per my other post of earlier; I deal with this on two angles. First being, how in the world is that tiny amount of food going to/or possibly is satifying to me???? That’s just some days. Secondly, how in the world can I possibly eat so much with a band around my belly? That's the other days. I'm not quite yet at the happy medium.

Pat: YOU ARE KICKING ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next time at the buffet look around at the skinny people....... they are not sucking down 5 plates.. they are eating a NORMAL amount... you are just eating like a NORMAL sized person and soon you will be. (at least this is the conversation I have with myself every night)

Head hunger? That's my middle name. I am not hungry most of the time but just want to eat. I start having these cravings and can't stop thinking about them. And I want to eat huge portions, pig out really. This has happened every time I tried to lose weight. Good thing I have the band now to help me with my overwhelming impulses!
