I have to be accountable for my actions, yet I can't seem to find the motivation. I'm starting this food journal. If anyone wants to participate, simply write down what you ate today. Every time you eat, come back to your post and edit it so that your entire day stays in your post. Maybe it's a stupid idea, but heck, I'm desperate.

What stage can U have deviled eggs?

Hey you people,

If you were able to eat like this... WHy did you get/need the band?

How has it helped you as far as avoiding junk food and such?

Apple,

I have had the band almost 2 years and I still can't eat deviled eggs. I have a major problem with eggs, but, everyone is completely different. Some can eat them when they can have regular food about week 4.

Nykee, did you mean eat healthy food, or eat alot of food? I ask myself that about the people who can now eat healthy food lol that was my main problem before the band. Unfortunately I think many people don't eat as healthy with the band but, they can only eat unhealthy for the most part (no bread for ex)in smaller portions except when it comes to junk food. Which never seems to get stuck lol

I know what your saying.. but some of the diets posted here are really good..

I dont mean just the portains either..

I think (when I finally have the restricion fill I need) My diet will be like this:

5 bites biscuit and gravy and one peice of bacon

half a KFC chicken snacker and 4 fries

ounce of cheese and wasabi mustard and half a pepporoni stick

Frosty dairy shake from Wendies and 5 fries

ya know.. like that

lol

Sorry..

I hope not, but I know my self.
