On the band front: I was meant to have a fill last Wednesday but ended up rearranging it because I had some family dramas going on and I just couldn't get away in time. The fill now isn't until the 17th January, but I'm feeling ok. To be honest, I haven't been paying that much attention to what I've been eating but that hasn't meant I've over eaten, I've actually not felt too bothered about it. I don't feel any need to binge right now and am just trying to remain calm over the Christmas period and not get too stressed out. There's going to be lots of food and things I don't usually have around me. I'm not going to be able to always avoid it or make my usual choices but it's no big deal. It'll pass, January will come around and I'll just keep on going, and if December ends up being a bad month on the scale, that doesn't mean that the rest of my life will be ruined. It doesn't mean I won't keep losing weight and eventually get to my goal, because this isn't like every other time. This time, we can all do it. So many of you are doing it! Just look at how incredible Ronnie looks as a great example of success!!
Right, there's a big spurt of happiness for you, now I must go to sleep! I'm a little behind on your blogs but I will catch up and I will do my best to leave some lovely comments for you. Love x
