The process

Well I would say that all and all this was a good week! I didnt work out as much as I would have liked but the 3 days I did work out I pushed myself to the limits. I am starting to see that I am eating less and getting full sooner. The problem I face is that my mind and eyes dont match my stomach. I am use to ordering much more food and eating it all. This is something that will continue to be a learning process. I feel that this is something that all lap-band people probably go through. For so long we are use to our eating habits and the one day POOF! We have to change them. Some days I do good and other days like today I find myself eating just to be eating. I think that many times people from the outside and even patients of the surgery think that once you have the band it automatically fixing the craves and the addiction. Sadly it does not. The late night craves, and daily snack cravings are still there.  It is up to you and your will power to fix your problems and deal with the addiction to food. I went in to this surgery thinking that it would fix all my problems and am slowly coming to realize that this is nothing more than a tool. If I want the changes I have to work on them, and overcome my dependence on food.

** On a positive note, went to Old Navy the other day and was able to get in to a size 14!! I didnt buy anything though because I am not fully comfortable in a 14 yet but I am sure another 10 pounds and  I will be!! I weigh in tomorrow....Fingers Crossed!!
