Am I a Hopeless Case?

Nov 08, 2010

I just read my most recent post from August and realized I've gained another 20 pounds since then.  So even though I now have 1.5 cc's in my band--and I have some restriction--I'm continuing to gain weight. I'm 25 pounds shy of my highest weight in the summer of 2006.  And just over a year ago, I weighed 150.  This is not good for my body.  

I know what I need to do.  I need to track my food intake and i need to exercise.  I just seem to find every reason NOT to do those things.  And I eat unconsciously.  I find that I pick up something and eat it before I even realize what I'm doing.  So I've gotten back into my old habits that made me gain weight in the first place. 

I know my band is merely a tool.  It can't MAKE me lose weight.  I have to USE it correctly--and that's something I haven't been doing for a long time.  I'm hopeless only if I quit trying to lose.  As long as I make an effort, I can have hope.
