Band Helps Engage Brain - No More Mindless Eating
VSG on 07/10/12
When I make the right food choices, dense protein, etc, the band lets me know I am full, and I have eaten enough.
Case in point.
A few night ago, I was on my way home from the Y pool, and I was hungry, so i purchased an apple to eat in the car.
I ate the whole apple during a 45 minute drive home.
Then sat down to eat dinner.
My husband had made lamb chops for me, and these were absolutely lucious. Cooked to perfection, and beautifully pink on the inside.
I ate two tiny lamb chops and enjoyed each bite, and really wanted to eat the last one. I actually took one bite, but could not fini**** I became so full, that there was NO WAY one more thing would fit down my throat.
I had to stop eating.
And I was not hungry later on, and I stayed under my daily calories.
This is all as opposed to my previous life, where I would have eaten the apple all the lamb chops, the veggies, the potato, and whatever else was on the table, and not felt hungry at all.....
Suffice it to say that the band has helped my brain engage in the eating process, and has put an end to the mindless eating which was my habit for years!
Now I know why I could not lose weight.
Cheers to all !!
