Martha, I feel your pain! I have been having a hard time lately too. Don't know what's going on. Not measuring, not getting in protien and GRAZING!!!! Gave myself a talking to and did a little better yesterday, did write everything down. One day at a time..... Cindy

Martha,
You can do this, like Lisa said it is head games. I agree that you have to be harder on yourself with the band. I know I can't eat the sugary things with out getting sick, but you have to actually have to make the choice to not eat it. When you go to eat something ask yourself "Am I hungry, or am I eating for stress, or am I bored?" Food = Fuel. I read on a board once that it is not how much we can eat but how little we can eat to live! It makes me think when I measure out my portions.
OK now
We are here if you need us call or write or yell, we will be here for you as you have been here for us. Life happens and no matter how well we plan and walk this life, "Murphy" (law) will find us. We just have to find a different way to deal with stress.
You can do this and remember "if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball"

Lisa, you are never too hard on me....it is things I need to hear and realize. I am not happy where I am, and I am the only one who can do anything about it. I made it through today and stuck right to my plan, and will continue to do so tonight. thanks so much for being my friend, and for being there. I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!!
Thanks to everyone else. It is so hard to face those old demons that you thought were long gone. I really need to do this, so I guess I just need to follow my own words. I will not try, I simply will!!!!!
Oh and Pokes, taking my anger out on the dodgeball floor got me in trouble last week!!!

The stupid cupcake are are.............STUPID! Why the heck would they do that?
Ok, now on to you. Martha, you have to start putting yourself first. Even though you are exercising a lot, you still have to watch what you eat. It is more difficult (in my opinion) with the Lap Band. You need to be more structured and stay on track. You need to tell yourself you CAN do this. Stop getting too comfortable where you are if you are not happy where you are. I understand how hard it is. We all have days/weeks where we slip. BUT, we all have the tools to use to get us to where we want to be. Sometimes our stupid minds telling us to steer away from what we should do. It is all head games. I guess my advice would be to start from scratch. Take it 1 meal at a time. Don't beat yourself up, that will make it worse (again, head games.)
Tell me to shut up if I was too hard on you. I kind of babbled on and on. Can't wait to see you tomorrow at Jazzercise!
