OH my HEAD!!

[way2big]

First, let me say.. Patrick: "I am banding in my head" suddenly begins to make sense!
So, three months into life with a band, and no fills, and things going good ... when...
sick for a week, no exercise for two weeks, and... bad habits creep right back in to this head of mine. thank God I have the awareness now to recognize them! Bad habits like.. I am physically NOT hungry; the band and protein really has taken care of that. But my head wants to go to munchieland every time I blink... yikes!!! I shouldn't be surprised though; rewarding myself with food, destressing with food, celebrating with food are all actions that brought me to bandy land... duuuhh!!!
anyway... the point is that 3 months into it I'm pretty sure my body is happy having the band in here... I don't hear any limb or muscle complaining about that missing 80 pounds... but now it's time to settle into a new mental life as well. wierd side effect... not living in the kitchen sure does leave me with a lot of time on my hands.. seriously!! man am I getting a lot of stuff done! Still, "vigilance" seems to be the word of the day now; the band is doing its part; I need to do mine.
Just letting you in on the continuing efforts of the bandyman...

and thank goodness we know the head has to be banded too -- imagine other?! scary thought...I'm so glad you know the key to weight loss is more than our band, a tool, but it just sits there if we don't use it :)

Congrats on the 72 lb loss!

Mo I like that post "it just sits there if we don't use it" so TRUE

My friend who has the band always tells me that having a band and not using it properly is like having a ferrari in the garage with no gas. I get it now. :)

Your head is the largest problem. I never realized that until I came here. My band is doing great with 105 pounds lost. My head still believes that I weigh 333#. It's really a strange feeling when you have two parts of your body telling you different things. I guess I should of been talking to my brain along with working on my stomach.

Art I to struggle with that. I still see myself as a large women. I am working hard on changing my thoughts. I have worked so hard since my band. I'm worth it!!!!! and so are you! we all are!!
