Tempremental Band..

Even nearly a year after I have been banded, I still find that my band can get very tempremental... Tonight I ordered Wonton Noodle soup. The portion size was laughable... I wasn't even going to get through a quarter of that!! So I dished myself a couple of wontons, a small amount of noodles and some soup. Wasn't even going to attemp the veges... Two bites of a wonton later and I'm in the loo spewing my guts up... I try again... another two bites and the toilet is my best friend again... so no dinner for me tonight!! Yet for lunch I had a rice paper roll (you know, the roll with vermecelli noodles and veges) with no problems...

Anyhoo... just wanted to give a big shout out to those of you who brought me to my senses with your comments about my rant about not moving on the scales. Brent - you are SO right... every time I look on those scales I should focus on what I have achieved so far... and not what I haven't achieved. However, I don't want to rest on my laurels! and while every time I step on the scales I do a little dance cos I'm in the 90's, not in triple figures and definitely not at my highest weight, I know that I've got at least 20kg to go!!

I've realised that I haven't moved in wieght for 3 months (with Christmas and New Years in between as well as a few overseas trips for work). And While I'm not making excuses for not losing weight, I have realised that I've been able step up the exercise and I feel smaller, even though the weight hasn't budged.. I feel a little less wobbly... There's less of me bouncing about when I go walking. I'm even adding some jogging to the mix... which is completely unheard of.. I walked/jogged nearly 8km yesterday.. and I felt fantastic...

I'm figuring that my body is catching up to the weight loss I had in September and October.. I know the plateau will pass.. I just have to get through it!!

Thanks for reading! Thanks even more for your comments!!!

P.S. I haven't weighed myself since Monday... that is like a total record for me... I'm dying to know what my weight is, but I'm not going to weigh until saturday (official weigh in!)

That's the bit I'm not looking forward to - but forewarned is forearmed. Sounds like the exercise is going really well for you - keep focusing on the positive and it will kick in again.
