Night munchies are the hardest to break. I'm trying to read more & keep my hands & mind busy otherwise my hands put food in my mouth a lot. Lol even talking a lot didn't work. Oh well one day at a time. Our group should be called the little engines that could..lol.

Shelby. I went threw same thing. Too ashamed to go back. I've put it off for a long time. Right now I'm working on counting calories & eating healthier. After I start progressing then I will go back to doc. I know I have a food addiction too. There are something's that I overeat on. I've found that I need to eat something good for breakfast or by lunch I'm starving so bad I overeat. I'm here to help motivate you or just listen to you vent. I totally understand!!!!... Susan

Paris welcome to the " getting healthier" club. We all are here to support each other. If you need to vent, cry, or need tips. This is the place to be. I too have been off track, but with the support I've gotten here. I feel like a million bucks & I no I can do this. Its just great to have people who know how u feel & what you are going through to bounce ideas off of. I've been learning a lot about myself too. If u need me, let me know.

I might try the 5 day pouch test myself soon.

Welcome aboard. We can do this together!!!!

I feel ya weighed myself and depressed too. Just gotta stay positive no matter how bad it hurts

Well for the past 4 days I've been doing good. I think the thing that's making me think before I eat is having to put all my food into an app that I downloaded to my phone. My fitness app. Its great cuz you put in your weight, I decide on how many calories you want per day, then just input as you go. Making me think twice. Lol. Just another tool to help me succeed..thought is share cuz I'm kinda excited boot the app.

I've been cheating with the water for so long it's gonna be hard. The good thing is I'm trying. The only part that freaks me out is that at one point I feel that the food gets caught in my throat so I revert back to the old ways. So I will chew until I can't chew no more. Lol. Just gotta keep my goal in mind.

Jor-el I cheat too!! I'm trying to break that cycle too. Not sure how that will work out but gonna give it one heck it's try. Let me know if you have any good tips, cuz I'm scared to death I will fail again

Thank you. I'm really looking to make some friends that are going threw the same thing I am. It's hard to discuss with friends or family because they can't fully understand. I definitely need some support and someone to keep me motivated and a sounding board to keep me sane.

Loving the words of encouragement needing some myself. Banned in 06 yep total failure here, but I've looked at myself & I no I can do this. I'm sick of being fat. I had used the excuse that my doc is over an hour and a half away. I have to be filled under fluoroscopy because my port is difficult. But now I'm going to try to get past that and hit my goal. Looking for a doc closer to me. Started using the my fitness app for my phone to track calories. I hope I'm on my way. Wish me luck

I would like to join you. I need all the encouragement that I can get.

Thanks for advice. This is my year!!!

I was banded many years ago & have not lost a pound. My confession is its my fault. I have great excuses. My fill doc is an hour & a half away. When I did my initial sit threw to learn about the band, they pointed out how gastric bypass people cheat & gain their weight back. Well duh don't tell me that, it has been my downfall. Water. I eat a bite & wash it down immediately with water. Ggrr. I'm one of the lucky ones that have to be filled under fluoroscope since my port is so difficult. Doesn't give me the want to to have it done. I don't eat what I should. So with my confessions I have decided to take action. I'm going to find a closer doctor, I hope. Saw in another post to add protein to each meal. So going to do that. I want to slim down. I just need encouragement & determination to do it. Hopefully I will get back on track.
