08/14/2009 - Learning to live with less restriction - not a bad thing after all! Yes I can still eat bread.....the key is I choose not too after the first bite. I had my first piece of pizza (thin crust) 2 weeks ago......it wasn't the end of the world! Not that I would eat it everyday and I stopped after one slice but it wasn't the end of everything good in my life either....I needed to learn to put things in perspective. I have learned to have a little more confidence in the things I have learned throughout this almost 2 yr journey. I think last month (when I had an unfill and felt that I could eat anything) I think I panicked. Just because I can eat more doesn't mean that I should. I have spent the month really listening to my body and I feel way more confident about my fill level and about my decision making. I want to be in control of my eating with the help of the band..... not for the band to do it all. However, I regret that I made the decision for the unfill due to pressure put on me from the people in my life. My body, my health should always be about how I feel....not about what other people think or say. I still have a lot to learn about myself but just knowing that I'm actively listening and aware of my body is such a great comfort. Learning to trust myself is a long process but I've begun the journey and that's enough for right now!
