So it has been a little over a year since I had my lap-band surgery. It has been a pretty easy road..however, I have to admit, the last couple of months I haven’t been my “lap-band self”. It could have something to do with the fact that Photo Fun Box is as crazy as ever or that I’m never home, but my eating habits have gone by the wayside. Well, I shouldn’t say that exactly, I’m just not getting all the veggies in that I need. The other some what difficult part is that we are at multiple weddings a weekend, with multiple opportunities to eat wedding cake 
. I’ve given in over the last couple of weeks…..ruh roh!
It’s not that I’m gaining weight – I just don’t FEEL as good as I did because I’m missing key parts of my nutritional needs. So last night, the booth was set-up directly across from a table of red velvet cake and OMG..did it look amazing. I walked by it several times, hell, I even grabbed a fork and went in for the kill and then I remembered what it felt like to be 70lbs heavier. No piece of cake was worth that so I put the fork down and walked away. I can’t even tell you how good that made me feel. It was the first step on the road back to “STICKING to the diet”. But honestly, this summer has been hard. Pasta salad, potato salad, french fries, hot dogs — they all surround you wherever you go. I just keep telling myself — none of that is worth it. I still have 30 more pounds to go and I’m going to get there! No piece of cake is going to hold me back!
