Fell Off Again

So I've hit the 6 week mark on the diet and here I am not following through on my own plans. I've lost a bit of weight but for whatever reason, this weekend I've gone off the rails again. This is always where it happens. The weight stalls and I get sick of looking at my body fiddling around w/ the same 3 pounds for a few weeks. Skipped lunch. Didn't wait for dinner had a cup of oberweiss chocolate milk (its a regional thing, they come in the old glass bottles, hormone free, all the good stuff....) and ate half a pb&j (i made strawberry jam this weekend). I know I'm being ridiculous. I think this is the part where I once again realize I need this surgery to stop being famished. I also need to get myself back on track. ok...i think it's safe to turn off my vent now.

We all fall off every once in a while, the good thing is that you recognize that you fell off and are willing to get back to it. i suggest weighing yourself only once a week. you will drive yourself crazy looking at the scale daily. Stay strong and stay positive.

This is exactly why I got this surgery. Every diet has always started out great but when I hit that stall for a few weeks I always figure "screw it" and then go have something I want to eat. Now, when I hit those plateaus I'm not going to be able to fall off the wagon like I did before.

THis is why I am getting the surgury too.. falling off the wagon sucks!!! After 50 times of falling off its just time to get a sleeve lol im a portion control person.. I cant wait till I know how much I can eat.. which wont be much.. I know I have to fix my head as well as my body but I think with the help of the sleeve it will all work out :)

Amen sister!! I do the same thing, hang in there, try and celebrate small things, like you didn't eat the whole jar of peanut butter with a whole bottle of chocolate milk. I know it sounds silly but as I am waiting for my surgery date, and trying to fix my food issues, I can only think keep trying, keep trying, like yesterday I ate 4 chocolate kisses, however in the past it would have been handfuls. So I win! LOL

thanks for the encouragement. I was back on form today. i'm feeling better and working out and drinking my water. I can't always control myself w/ food. I figure this is how i got into this in the first place, but I'm getting through.

That's the same reason I got this surgery too - it's not that I don't know how to eat right or that I don't know I need to lose weight, but I don't know how to stick with it after a while and I get bored, frustrated and go back to the same old. This sleevie little tool we all have is like our "food shock collar" - when we do something bad, our bodies will shock us back into our sleeved reality, which is exactly what I know I need!
