Ok here goes…confession time. I have become addicted to sweets. I am eating something sweet everyday. Sometimes 2-3 times daily. Mostly it's chocolate: Lindt truffles, Fererro Rocher, or just plain Hershey's bars. I'm in school and it's like a snack free for all while in class. Chips, chocolate, etc. I am also eating too much. I'm still eating very little, but I find myself eating a few more chunks of the chicken in my salad b/c "Ive barely eaten anything". I am full though and should stop! So, today I have made up my mind to return to the way of eating I was practicing when I started this journey. This morning I had a cup of coffee (instead of 2). A packet of raisin, date, and walnut oatmeal with protein powder. For lunch I'm having a side salad with chicken (and stopping at the first sign of fullness). I will be drinking my water and having a protein shake for my snack while in class.

I only have about 20 more lbs to lose. I had a goal set for 145 lbs., but Im 177 now and I think 20 lbs. would put me just where I want to be. I like the way I look now, but a few more lbs. are in order. I'll see when I get there. Thankfully Im tight (havent had a fill since the first of December). So, even though I've been eating crap, I've only been able to eat a little of it. People say candy and chips are sliders so you can eat a lot of it. I really cant, but I havent been eating much of anything else. I'm not getting my proper nutrition. Also, I don’t want the band to loosen and I'm still eating crap. I'm not going to lose those lbs. or keep the weight off that I've already lost doing what I'm doing now. So today is a new day and I am a renewed bandster. I will soon be a bandstar again!
