Super Tight

So for the last two weeks my band has been SUPER tight. It may have actually been longer than two weeks, but my sense of time is sometimes distorted. It's almost as tight as it was the time I had to have all the fluid out. I refuse to go back to the the doctor and have him take all my fluid out, so I've been trying to work with the tightness. I know I'm only so tight because a few weeks ago I was eating way too much junk and filling up my little stomach to the point of puking. When I puke it swells and tightens.

The part that really gets me and sets me back is that if there's any loosening at all, I start to get snack attacked, and stuff myself again. In the last couple of days I've been excruciatingly trying to hold back. I'm sticking to liquids as much as possible to give it a chance to heal. It's loosening up already. Unfortunately, as soon I noticed that today, I went after some chips! lol I'm a nut. Luckily I was able to put them out of site about half-way through the bag. So, at least I didn't finish it.

I've decided that I'm going to try to post helpful hints here as well. I've talked to some other people who have the band and aren't losing weight as fast as me, and I realize, maybe they didn't have as much information as I did when they started out. So be on the look out for "Angi's Tips". Heh.

February!

Wow, this year is already speeding by. It feels like the day after New Year's and yet it's actually February 1st! I haven't been working out in the last week cause I've been sick. I had a bad cold. It was no fun. I'm feeling better today though, so I should be able to get into the gym today.

Since my fill my eating has been much better. I am not hungry all the time, which is great. I'm a little too much I think, because I've been close to PB'ing several times, I actually did like twice because I pushed it. One was at Olive Garden. It was just so good, I ate till I PB'd, paused, and ate some more. lol I'm bad, I know.

For the most part I've been good though. The hardest thing I've been dealing with lately has been getting enough liquids and protein. In fact, I'm eating eggs right now to get some of that protein!

So anyway, it hasn't been a good week because I've been sick, but I think being sick must have not been all bad because I lost several pounds this week.
