Good morning fellow bloggers!.
Well, I finally stepped on the scale this morning after avoiding it for the last 4 weeks. The bad news is I haven't lost anything more The good news is I am not gaining either. This is an old habit for me. Once I start feeling like I am struggling, I start to avoid the scale because I don't want to face the music. Pre-band, it usually meant a gain of 5-10lbs. So, if nothing else, the band is restricting my ability to overeat. Unfortunately, I have fallen back into the habit of snacking when I am stressed out. I desperately need to work on my head hunger issues but am not even sure where to start. I am constantly reminded that the band is not a magic bullet. There is so much more work to do in terms of unlearning bad behaviors and dealing with the issues that got me here in the first place.
After reading Read's blog last week, I have decided that I need to do the 5 day pouch test if for no other reason than to reacquaint myself with the basics and detox from the carbs that call my name everyday around 3pm. So, Sunday is going to be Day1.
Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it!

BOOBs 2011
Have been a horrible blogger lately. Work has been crazy busy and, quite frankly, my weight loss/band success has stalled out again. So very frustrating although I felt a small bit of relief when I read Stephanie's (Dreams of Skinny High Heels) blog this week in which she said she didn't start to seriously start losing weight til the 7th month.
I am planning to attend the BOOBs get together in Chicago in Sept. I am looking for a roommate so if anyone is so inclined, drop me an email! Really looking forward to meeting everyone and putting faces to blogs!
