A friend wrote me an email (who knows nothing about my surgery, who is very thin focused) saying, BTW, you are looking very slim lately! Words like this are so motivating for me. Made me run a couple laps in my corporate office this weekend...(yes I'm trapped in my office and I can't get out). I've been working 50+ hours for 3 weeks and when I'm busy, I'm very unaware of taking care of myself. But the band is my safety net. It keeps me from binging. I'm not perfect and when I'm under stress I don't take great care of myself but I'm a lot better. But I realize that I've internalized some good long term habits. If I keep it up I'll be fine in the long run.
Keep it up...Thank you friends...I've missed you...I'm going to try to keep up now that we are turning in our massive documents Wed. The final drafts are done and look pretty good.
Looking forward to reading more post.

Nice words of encouragement from your friend.

ReplyDeleteThis is the best summary of the role of LapBand in my life. Period.
Take care of yourself!
