Progress.....Yeah!!

Ok, so I looked back on this last month today and realize I had a lot of down moments feeling like my band isn't working like it should. Today I go for my 4th fill and woke up feeling bloated because my friend is here. I didn't weigh in yesterday, just don't want to face it really, but thought I should weigh in today on the Wii so I can have a reference point as to what I weighed on fill #4. So, I stepped on the Wii and I was at 194, Yeah!!! I was really happy (that damn scale again setting my moods) but, a good mood, none the less. I decided to look back at what i weighed on my last fill a month ago and I was at 200 pound the day before the fill, so that is 6 pounds in a month. Not too shabby. I realize I go up and down as it seems everybody does and the big picture is where I should be looking especially when the scale is not my friend. 6 pounds is about what the band promises in a month. I also realize that I've only had the band 4 months and when I started this journey, I made a mini goal of being around 180 by June 15th. I don't know if I can do that, but if I keep up how I've been doing, I'll be pretty close. At least in the 180's. So I have a new attitude with the band this morning and I hope it sticks, because I don't like feeling defeated by this band. I'm going to win and it might take me over a year, but I'll get there. I'll blog later this afternoon to tell you how the fill went.
