ok, so this post is basically just a place for me to write down what i need to do (get back to doing). i welcome and hope for advice and words of encouragement.

i know i have not been eating like i am supposed to. i take full responsibility for my stupidity and lack of, lack of, well...hell, a lack of i dont know exactly what, but a lack of it for sure! maybe just a lack of caring lately? something anyways. i have made poor eating choices. not really poor food choices, just poor choices in the amounts of food i have been eating. ok, and since i am just putting this out there to try and help myself, i have made poor food choices too. pretty much every night for a week. i have been accepting of these choices because i have not gained back any weight, and have in fact lost another pound. that is what makes this so hard for me.

that said, i know i have to change the choices i have been making. this is my TO DO/NOT TO DO list:

1) i will eat my protein first, followed by veggies/fruit
2) i will NOT drink until a 1/2 hour has passed from eating
3) i will NOT eat empty carbs
4) i will NOT eat more then 1/2 cup at a time ( i have some questions about this, but am going to post those in the general forum or the support one)
5) i will excercise 3 times a week (this is my restart goal, which i hope to up after i get back into the swing of things!), both cardio and toning/weights
6) i will come here for support when i am feeling the urge to snack/eat when i am not really hungry. even if its just to post to post to keep my fingers busy and away from food. (i apologize ahead of time for this!)

ok, so that is about all i have for now. this all came about after i ate lunch today. it kinda just hit me, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??? how stupid i am being! i didnt have this surgery and get this wonderful tool to just be stupid and not work it! i am gonna work it! i am gonna do this and start back to losing at a more consistant rate. i think if i stick to these things i will be successful. that, and i get a fill on the 27!

I am struggling too at times! Night time is the worst for me. I am like a eating machine. I am starting to quiet down a little bit. I bruised my tailbone so exercising is a real pain in the butt, but yesterday I walked for two hours. OUCH! As a result I can barely walk. There is a lesson there; I just know it. I am still losing weight, but I know that I could be doing better. I did really well on the post-op diet, because it was dictated to me. Someone needs to dictate the rest of my life too. (Oh that is a sad statement, but oh so true!) I need a LAP-BAND^® coach. Hmmm....what a good idea! I wonder where I'd find one of those?
