Not Hungry!

It is just a few minutes past Noon time right now, typically I would be eating lunch but today I am not. As most of you know, last October I was at 7cc's and got soybeans stuck and therefore I had to have 6cc's removed for them to pass through. However, before this happened I was feeling on top of the world, loosing weight and feeling so good. When I had all the fluid taken out, I felt like food was taking control over my life again and honestly it was so depressing but it made me realize just how much having the band really helps.

I am not eating lunch yet, because I am not hungry. I am back up to 6cc's now and the band is once again helping me control my head hunger. This is the best feeling in the entire world. I am the first to admit that I am 100% a food addict. I'm not just one of those people who eat all the wrong things and doesn't exercise. I am like a food hider, eat in your car, and late at night when everyone is in bed kind of addict. Before the band I was controlled by food. I guess in a way I still am because food is on my mind constantly but now it's in a different kind of way.

There is no feeling in the world like eating a meal and just feeling plain old satisfied, not stuffed, just satisfied. Ironically I'm a control freak who is addicted to food which makes me out of control haha. I am a mess. I am just so thankful that I was presented with all the right circumstances to get this band. It's the best thing I've ever done and I can't imagine life without it. Imagine what I'll be saying once I've hit my goal haha?

If you are still thinking about getting banded, my advice is do it do it do it, you won't regret it!!!!
