For me, the magic of the band is that, if you listen, you will know when to stop.
Lets say for example, your at a work buffet. All your favorite foods are piled high before you. In your excitement you grap two plates (less walkin', more eat'n) and stack 'em to the top, add a cookie, brownie, and a soda to wash down the cookie and brownie.
As is your custom, you dive quickly into your gigantic meal, rapidly shoveling away at bits of this and that. Pain, sweat, pressure, VOMIT. Just a few quick bites and its over, the band told you to stop.
Or you can do it like this:
You gather a modest plate of food (preferably healthy) and find a seat. Focusing on your co-workers, you enjoy a nice conversation as you slowly nibble away at the delicious buffet items. After sampling small bits of several items, you begin to feel a sense of saeity, pause, and then continue conversing with co-workers. Your full, happy, and losing weight.
Im not going to lie to you and say I never feel hungry. Everyone gets hungry. The difference now is that when I am hungry I eat a few ounces of cottage cheese, peanuts, fruit (etc) and feel full. I used to weigh as much as 320. At that weight, I was eating two sandwhiches, chips, soda, and anything else I could find in the kitchen, as a snack!. Now, at 265, I couldn't even eat a sandwhich, maybe half.
Temptation? Just do what we fat people are good at and listen to your stomach, you will do great.
