Another 3lb off this week, weighed in this morning at 20.10, and only 11lbs to go to my Christmas goal of being under 20stone. Yay!
In many ways it's been a disappointing week. On Wednesday I had a working lunch and I devoured that buffet like I'd never seen food before. Honestly, I had to check the table was there as I suspected I'd eaten that too. In reality (and somewhat embarrassingly) it was far less than I'd have eaten pre-band, but it left me with the uncomfortable realisation that my control around food is tenuous at best.
After stuffing my face at lunchtime I went out for a curry in the evening (yes, I really am that dumb). I had two starters, but ate every scrap of them, then when I got home and went to bed I was deeply uncomfortable and didn't know what to do with myself.
On the positive side, this discomfort after overeating used to be an everyday sensation. Sometimes I can't believe how badly I used to treat myself, and how much has changed in such a short period of time!

Fit and fantastic!
You are doing brilliantly. You'll be under 20 stone easily before Christmas I'm sure xxx
I am grateful that my bypass has taken away physical feelings of hunger so there is no 'need' to eat, and the capacity of the new ' stomach' means I cannot negotiate on portion size - when I'm done, I'm done end of. But the head thing is another matter entirely and that's my current battle. As I can eat so little my head says have something nice - but my body needs something nutritious and sensible. It's really hard to find the balance. Grrr

Thankyou hun!
I'm relatively lucky, as I've not really craved sugar or fatty food thus far. If I'm at home I have no issues at all, but if I'm eating while doing something else (in a meeting or chatting to a friend) I lose all sense of what I'm eating or the sheer volume I'm packing away.
We'll get there!

Hang in there, you're doing so well. One blip won't undo all the good work, and you already understand why it happened and can be aware in future.
We are trying to reverse years of bad eating eating habits, and it won't happen overnight - be proud of what you've achieved and good luck with getting to your Christmas goal

For the price, as long as it gets me through this year I'm not too worried!
My job ends at year end, so at some point in December I'll have to buy an interview suit. I tried all my suits on tonight and every one of them made me look like a six year old wearing her mum's clothes. I'm hoping I'll be able to buy a cheap trouser suit from the likes of Asda as I'd really begrudge paying a fortune for it.
It's a fantastic problem to have!

Well done!
As for the postage on things on ebay, check out things such as Myhermes delivery. Their rates are cheap can take 1-3 days, but they'd not be paying anywhere near what Royal mail charge!
I started selling in Nov last year and had raised £500 in selling 45 items! Need to get on with it now, as I have clothes from a size 34 right down to a size 20 to get rid of LOL

This week two people have told me not that I've lost weight, but that I look really well. I'll take that!
I'm off to a 4 year old's birthday party in a couple of hours and I'm stressing like mad about it. Ridiculous, as I know it will be fine, but this morning I had my normal bowl of cereal and felt sick after two spoonfuls. It's my stepmum's grandson, and I always feel like I'm photobombing her family occasions. Sigh. Normally this would send me straight to the buffet table to eat away my nerves, but today I'm going to make every effort to resist the lure of the fairy cakes!
Four hours and it'll all be over...
