I was complaining about how much weight I still have to lose an my fiancé showed me these "before" pictures of me to show me how far I've come since being sleeved in Jan2013. I have lost 50lbs and feel great. I still have a lot to go (50-60lbs) but I can't believe how big I was when I started. I feel sad for that girl but I ain't her anymore! ????????????

This is really what I need to remember this week. I am so hard on myself sometimes.

I just wanted to share some motivation to remind us to keep going and be good to ourselves.

I'm going through the same thing!!! I have been at the same weight for over a month now!!!! I don't get it! And I'm working out more. I feel helpless and I feel like a loser.
Please report back what your dr recommends. Good luck!

I look forward to wearing shorts!!!!! And skirts and high heels!
I look forward to feeling sexy.
I look forward to taking more pictures.

Working out in the morning is such a great way to start the day. Now I just have to get my ass out of the bed!!

I'm glad I read this. I know it's normal to stall but I've been between 217-220 for 4 weeks!!! I have even started working out more and packing my own healthy meals, drinking shakes in the am. I don't get it. It's so frustrating. I feel like my body is comfortable at 220 bc I have been at this weight before and for a long time. And because I had the Lapband before I can eat more than other people. I hate it bc I feel like I can easily eat 1000 cal a day. I have to really watch it. Ok back to counting my calories!!!

This is a good question. I am addicted to the thought of food and the pleasure it will bring. Does that make sense? So yes I am addicted to food. Everyday is a struggle to make good choices and not give in to cravings of food I know taste great (I have a major sweet tooth but lost some of it w the sleeve, not totally). I do feel like an addict when I go the entire day eating healthy and have to ruin it at the end of the day by eating a piece of chocolate or eating late when I'm not hungry. It's like I have to have something else because the day went so well. It's in those moments I feel like a victim to food. I eat more when I'm bored or think of something delicious.
Could it just be that I love the taste of food? It's not that I eat when I'm sad, I love all kinds of food and the cultures. It's an experience. Is that bad??

Touché.
