Yet another reason I love my band!

 I went to my sister's baby shower yesterday and they had a delicious array of food and cake.  Once again my brain said it was hungry, so I filled my plate quite full.  I ate about 1/4 of the food and my band made me stop.  I just laugh at myself because I often forget I have that little booger on my tummy and mound my plate with food like I used to.  My faithful band always makes me stop way before the full plate is devoured.  It makes me smile each time and reminds me to be thankful for this tool I have been given.  

Life is good and I thank God daily for this opportunity to work with my tool!

Hi Cristie2000.
I know what you mean about having a full plate and not finishing it, lol!!!  It is very easy to forget you have the band, I do it all the time. I went on vacation last week and totally 4got I had the band. It was hilarouis at times. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I too Thank GOD everyday for the band....
Continue to have all the success that you deserve with your band and on your WL journey.
Take Care

LYNN
The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time...

Congrats, I can't wait to get to that point. I still haven't had a fill yet and have to be conscious of what I put on a plate because I can eat way too much.

Funny I do the very same thing!  One of my co-workers looked at the plate I filled at the lunch buffet last month at a sales meeting and she didn't say anything until I had stopped eating and she said I didn't think you would be able to eat all of that!  Thank God for my band!
