I'm thinking that the 1/2 cc that the doctor added two days ago is going to be the 'just right' I've been waiting for... and also changing the way I eat.  I've been trying to be healthy in my eating by eating oatmeal w/raisins in the morning, along with a wasa cracker w/peanut butter...well, Carrie, my very wonderful nurse at my doc's office has told me that that will not help me to start losing weight,  because it'll go right through and not make me feel full.  I never thought of that, so now I'm doing an egg, and it seems to make me feel better half way through the morning.  I'm doing the protein shakes too, so we'll see how that goes.  Getting there...

Tomorrow I go to see my doctor, and hopefully I'll get a small fill.  I'm thinking I'm really close to the right restriction, but he's going to be upset because I haven't lost any weight this time.  My frame of mind isn't where it needs to be.  Give me luch tomorrow.

It is such a beautiful day outside, and I'm just taking a break from being out in the yard, working on cutting down some tall grasses next to our pond.  Getting quite a workout, but I'm being a good girl today...just had a protein bar.  Gotta keep the protein in mind!!  And hopefully tomorrow will be just as pretty.  To have temps in the high 70's in July is just unheard of!!  Maybe somebody knew I needed this kind of day... 
Got pix of my grandkids too.  They are soooo very far away!!  But I hope to lose a few more (lots, actually) pounds before they get here in August.

O.K. ....here goes.  Been banded for 7 months now...should be down about 50 pounds, but only have lost 20.  I am having the darndest time with what I'll call 'brain weakness', better known as will power.  I'm not feeling much restriction, number one, but I know I'm close to being to my limit in my band.  My doctor is frustrated, I'm frustrated, and half the time, I know I'm eating too much, but I don't guess I care....at that moment.  Give me a couple of hours, and I feel awful about it.  I've never been bulimic, but I can see where that would be tempting...  I always say I'll do better tomorrow.  Oh, did I mention that my husband is also quite frustrated?  But I know it's supposed to be 'for me', not anyone else.  I am exercising three times a week, and that helps me feel better, but also gives me a reason to eat something because I did...  If anyone reads this and has anything, ANYTHING to say about my sorry self, I'd appreciate hearing from you.  I'm gonna try and do this daily for awhile.  See where it goes.
