You’re wondering where I’ve been?  Lots of people are but that’s a different story. 

Somehow my wordpress login stopped working.  Can you get people to help you when you’re having trouble?  Sure but it’s gonna take a while.  A while was til today.

So I apologize that I haven’t updated anything since the first report on our trip to Europe with “the olds”.  Life has gone on, however, and I’ll begin talking about my weight loss again.  I put on some weight during our trip.  Let’s say Ille Flottant in Paris Salzburger Nokerl, and Pavlova back in Australia added to my undoing.  Can you tell that I like meringue?

The holidays are upon us and I need to ensure that I don’t eat the wrong things.  With a gastric band, we’re limited on the amount we can eat so if we eat the wrong things, we risk not getting enough nutrition.  It’s possible to gain weight if all you eat is sweet stuff.  That’s where the emotional eating problem really kicks in.

Let’s say for instance the feeling is, “I feel bad today and if I had something sweet, I’d feel better.  I always felt better when my mother said, ‘there there, it’s okay, have a cookie’.”  I know that once I conquer the need to eat to feel better, then I’ll have the weight issues under control.

What are your ways to beat the munchies on a bad day?
