Restriction

I'm still trying to feel out how good my band restriction is. I had to eat very slowly on all three meals today, or else the food would have gotten stuck. I am liking that because it shows that I do have some good restriction.

My weight has crept back up a couple of pounds. In fact, other than losing a little bit after my fill, my weight has really stayed about the same ever since I started exercising. I know I've lost some inches from taking measurements, but the numbers on the scale are not going down as steadily.

It's hard to know if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm simply at a plateau which does happen when you're losing weight. I think I need to be more patient. I've been a little spoiled by my weight coming off so consistently that I want it to keep doing that! I'm making good food choices for most of my food. I do allow a treat here and there, but I don't think it's more than I should be doing.

The thing is, that even though it's a little frustrating, it's not a big deal. I'm in this for the long haul and so day by day, I make the best choices I can with my fitness and my food. I'll keep on trucking.
