Well...thanks for all the great advice, seasoned band-sistahs!  This week, since my tortured post about how it can possibly be that I'm eating so little and not losing, some of you came to my rescue...and I think you may actually have rescued me!

The past several weeks, although I've had one fill, I've still been subsisting on 700-1100 calories per day, and often, FREAKIN' STARVING!!!  I'm talking full-on-stomach-rumbling-gnaw-my-own-arm-off kind of hunger.  And I've been feeling it and mentally telling myself "yes...this is it...this is what losing weight feels like"...except I wasn't losing weight.  And so you told me to eat more.  And I have.  Not crazy...frankly, mostly because the band keeps me from getting crazy (thank gods!), but you know, not letting myself get starving.  Eating enough to keep the vicious hunger pangs at bay.  And it seems to be working!  I'm not posting my actual loss yet, because I need to see it for a couple of days, but the important thing...and the thing I was terrified about...THERE IS NO GAIN!!  Even though I went out for Thai food with my BFF this week AND had a cougar night where I drank what surely must have been gallons of red wine.

This week, I feel like I have a lot to look forward to: tomorrow I'm going swimming with my mum and my little guy - there is a fitness swim and a parent-and-child-swim at the same time, so mum and I are going to play AND get a few laps in.  Then on Tuesday is fill #2, and I am SO excited for it!  I feel like I might actually not be that far from my sweet spot, so cross your fingers for me.  I'm definitely going into the week looking up!  Have a great one, everyone!
