Calling all bandsters!!

I'm stressed and I'm hungry.  Is this as deadly a combination for you as it is for me?  I'm guaranteed to be in PB hell if I take a single bite of anything. 

As ungrateful as it sounds, sometimes this tool gets on my dayum nerves.

I haven't eaten a whole apple in four years.

Sometimes, I WANT to eat everything on my plate.  Can I at least have more than two bites?

Why do I have to start eating two hours ahead of everyone else?  It takes that long to "warm" this sukka up enough to allow me to eat at a normal pace like a normal person.

What is all that dayum noise? 

I've tried, but somebody please tell me how to make a lil bit of mac-n-cheese, or a small pot of chili.

Can I have consistent restriction, morning and night?  I can't eat a spoonful of oatmeal in the morning, but I can eat my weight in cheese balls after 9 p.m.

I know, I know . . . (  ) I have a lot of nerve to be ***** because my tool works.  Well dayummit, this is how I'm feeling.   

Terri,

I am soooooo with you on all of these!!!  Especially the one about consistent restriction!!!  If I kept my "morning" restriction all day I would weight around 125 by now!!!!

~Telaya~

 You are right about that. 

Hey Terri, 

Unfortunately this is the tool we opted for.  And yes, sometimes I hate it.  

I have had friends say well why dont you just stop eating when you start to feel " full "   But I tell them easier said than done.  Especially when my minds wants more cause it was tasting soooooo good. I cant help it that I was conditioned to clean my plate.

The hardest thing is being in a nice restaurant and having to excuse yourself from the table several times cause you ate more than you were supposed to. 

I swear I still havent mastered this thing and I spend much too much time in the bathroom paying for it. Sad to say. My daughter had the nerve to tell me recently  that she was concerned about my teeth. I said long as Im brushing them....and got good insurance  -Im good

The band gotta love it,  but sometimes I hate it.  Honestly !

If its anything to you.  Least you got to goal and can be totally called beautiful cause you are.  Im still hovering in obeseland.  

Hope all is well

Hey beautiful!!  How can I help?   I want you to reach goal as much as I know you want it for yourself.  Call me.

I know all about last bite syndrome.  One too many splashes of toile****er in my face while in a public bathroom cured me of that one. 

Well all I can say is, this too shall pass, and when my day of feeling like this comes (and i am sure it will) i will pm you to tell me how you got through!

Keep pressing Sis, it's a good but I can see your point too!  I am glad posted as a newbie, it a reality check that all aint roses! ... so press on you will get pass this feeling ... I know you not trynah go backwards!

Oh, and heck no there is no way to make "our kind" of mac and cheese little!

Thanks Sis.

I'm glad my gripping didn't discourage you.  I love my tool, but some days it makes me wanna hollah!

You are welcome, that is not discouraging, that is real talk and I appreciate your honesty, that helps me prepare!

Girl when I go out to eat, I try to drink a cup of coffee to warm this sum ma bytch up and sometimes that still doesn't work.  It really ticks me off when I can't eat everything on my plate too.   I am grateful though.

 I've done that too.  Chewing a few ice chips works sometimes.
