Sorry to hear this is an issue for you. But you really do have to use some self control. And I am well aware that it is so much easier said than done! I have to remain aware at all time about what i put in my pouch..... I try to eat healthy but I choose wisely and good quality foods. But once in a while I will just crave something...and I know me...If I dont eat it then i'll nibble all around until i finally eat it anyway. I have learned to eat a single bite and walk away. The surgery wasnt a "cure" just a tool. My brain has had way more changes to learn than my stomach! But everyday i start off with the mindset that I am not going to go backwards! Hope you get things on the straight and narrow soon or you'll lose the "tool" to help yourself with!

I get mine by "prescription" and they are covered under my flex spending account.

I too suffer from food addiction! I have been really good at staying busy since I had surgery and have not gone back to my old ways of eating when bored. But I've had a crazy time this past few months with being stressed and snacking!! I still try to keep on the move so I dont get bored...but stress "snacking" seems to be creeping up on me. I eat healthy things we can have when I "stress eat" but feel like I am eating too much of them. Oh if the brain could have a bypass too....it would really help!!

You are looking wonderful! So proud for you!! Keep it up!

Wow, you GO! So happy for your success!!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss! I will pray for peace for your heart. I too used to surround myself with people who were helping me kill myself. I joined some BBW clubs, never had trouble getting a date...but deep inside I was so unhappy with myself! Thank you for this post, it reminds me where and why I started this journey! I am by no means close to being at goal (89 lbs to go!) but I am no where near where I started. My thoughts and prayers are with you today! May your heart be lightened and your sorrow be less!

YOU CAN DO IT! I have been watching your progress and you are doing SUPER!!!

Way to go!! I am still kinda stuck...not losing a lot but a little will do! I am less this year than last! Hoping to make it by my bday Oct 6. I am proud for you!!

ok, so Jenn...hows it going????? Almost at your goal???

I had surgery Aug 13 2012...I am one year out. How about you?

cheers to your "melting".... keep up the great work!!!

Congrats on your new lifestyle! Welcome to the losers bench!! You look great! Keep up the hard work!

Amen! I celebrated a NSV yesterday too... went to my one year check up (everything was great) and then had to go have lab work done. I always dread the lab work...no the actual stick itself...but the sitting in the lab chair. Yesterday as I sat down I realized that I had plenty of room in the chair...no longer did I have to squeeze or sit sideways!! It's a good feeling to fit places now!! Happy for your NSV!!

Way to go!!!! Happy for you!!

So happy for you!!!
