Slow Down

My weight-loss has definitely slowed down quite a bit. I am a little disappointed but at the same time I am glad that I am able to maintain a slow loss even without having a tight band. Some of my thoughts about eating have changed and even without the restriction the band gives prodding me to make the right choices I am making them. I have learned to appreciate the flavors of delicious food with out shoveling in as much as possible. I take my time while I eat and I savor. Taking time is also necessary to listen to the band. If you eat to fast it can be in vain if you know what I mean. I think maybe if I didn't eat so fast all my life I wouldn't have had a weight problem. I was always the type to force my stomach to consume as much food as possible in as little time as possible. Now eating is a long process. Even taking so much time to eat a meal I eat such a small fraction of what I used to. It's amazing the difference that slowing down can make.
