...I have already concluded that the Hypnotic Gastric Band doesn't work on its own. After all, a real Gastric Band can be "cheated" by eating the wrong things. That said, it may be part of the solution in conjunction with other things, so the experiment will continue to the Autumn Equinox as planned.
Monday will be a "fresh start" as explained in tomorrow's post.

Day 79 Thursday 6.6.2013
Today's
Consumption:
On Waking
6 squares dark choc
Breakfast
2 slices buttered toast
1 Penguin Bar
Lunch
2 hunks buttered white crusty bread
1 choc biscuit
Supper
Garlic Chicken+Dauphinoise Potatoes+peas
1 twinpot toffee sundae+2 choc biscuits
A reasonable day's consumption.
Though my weight is not appreciably different, my eating habits are better than in past times. Portions are reasonable, I generally don't comfort-eat, mind and body are in harmony and I am healthy and happy. Heartburn is now noticably rare.
It is possible without too much thought to at least bring weight under control, but to lose weight requires more focus. I shall be tackling that next week.

Day 78 Wednesday 5.6.2013
Today's
Consumption:
On Waking
6 squares dark choc
Breakfast
2 slices buttered toast
1 choc biscuit
Lunch
1 rack pork ribs + 1 pork chop
1 pint beer
2 scoops ice cream
Supper2 handfuls peanuts
3 choc biscuits
Though I've got into the habit of diarising consumption, a good habit and essential in self-understanding, diet and exercise itself simply isn't a priority - I'm far more preoccupied with my spiritual/mental/emotional wellbeing. This itself is a valuable insight into those who struggle with their weight.
I think there's more to it than having a set of rules to follow. It has turned out that like any other goal in life, clear single-minded focus is essential to success. In my case it just hasn't been there.
Thursday - Sunday is not a great time for fresh focus, but I will use that time to make further modifications to the strategy and introduce them on Monday.

Day 77 Tuesday 4.6.2013
Today's
Consumption:
Breakfast
2 slices buttered toast
1 choc biscuit
Lunchnone
Supper
Quarterpound burger+fried egg+beans
2 slices buttered bread
3 scoops ice cream
2 choc biscuits
A very uneven day where I wasn't that hungry for most of it, got seriously munchy at teatime then felt very full all the way to bedtime.
It's fair to say that my weight and diet are not currently at the forefront of my mind, and while I'm not losing weight, it is stable. The situation will not change until I make further changes. From today, the slightly teaked rules are:
1. Eat consciously chewing thoroughly
2. Visualize the stomach as a stretchy tennis ball.
3. Daily "gastric band" self-hypnosis
4. No snacking between meals
5. No eating after 7pm except Fri/Sat
...We'll see how we get on!
