Well here I am in May 2007 and I am stuck.  I have been stuck at 171-173 since February.  I took a new job position and have been traveling a lot.  I haven't been in the gym nearly as often and have been eating in hotels a lot.  I am just thankful that I haven't gained anything.  Now, I am trying to get back on the bandwagon but I have really activated my sweet tooth again.  In stressful events, I turn to sweets and lately there has been a LOT of that going around.  I have got to get my head back in the game.  I think I will try a liquid diet for a day to "jump start" my system and "purge" the cravings for the sweet stuff.  I'll post again in a month to see where I am!

Well it's been one year.  What an amazing journey.  I am really finding it hard to believe the changes since a year ago when food controlled me instead of me controlling it.  I am looking back at videos and pictures of Christmases from years past and can't believe how HUGE I was.  I finally weigh less than my husband.  I LOVE saying that.  He's a real skinny dude and it makes me feel even skinnier to know I weigh less!!  I feel so much better physically and emotionally.  Compliments come often and I am learning how to take them.  I shop at any store now, no more plus sizes.  I am almost in a 12 jean and M top.  I'm not kidding when I say the last time I wore that size was 8th grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'll keep trying to update occasionally.  I have had 3 fills for a total of 2.6cc in my 4 cc band.  Only had a PB about 4 times and have learned what foods to avoid.  I am still struggling with sweets, but am hitting the gym so often that it compensates.  I have only experienced a gain once and it was only 5 pounds (around Halloween).  Steady, but agonizingly slow loss is my MOA.  I am so thankful for my band!!
