Band & WW ;) I think this is the way to go

Well... 2.1kg down this week (4kg since my last fill)... Very happy with myself...

I thank both the band AND WW for this loss.

The band keeps my portion sizes under control meaning I can relax a bit with choosing what to eat.. Obviously I watch what I eat anyways, but for example, the other night I wanted satay noodles BAD... so I got them. I could only eat between 1/4 and 1/3 of the box, so instead of 17 points for the whole box (i know, i shat myself when I read it -i could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting before my band!!!) it ended up only being 5.5 points and I was MORE than satisfied.

WW is giving me a good guide on how much I should be eating. I'm fairly certain weight loss for me has been slow the last month because I haven't been eating enough and my body has freaked out a bit...  another example to show that is I lost 2kg in 3 weeks with the band alone and 2kg in one week by eating a bit more and watching it like a hawk.

I've worked out that some days I would probably eat barely anything, and not even get anywhere near the amount of 'points' I should be eating... and other days, just by bad choices... I could blow them out the window.. especially when I have a drink!! I've gone off fizzy mixed alcoholic drinks (turkey and dry, yum!) so now I usually have a mudshake or 2 or 3.... but at 6 points EACH I only have one now.... thats a lot of points...

Keeping a journal of what I eat each day has helped me immensely. I never really thought to try it, even though so many people have said it's worth it. Now I think it's something I will do for the rest of my journey... it's scary how many calories can creep in when you're not looking.

Anyway.. there ya go.. another week down...
