I indulge in the occasional potato chip, french fry and candy. I had a spoonful of ice cream tonight with caramel Syrup. And the bad stuff goes down TOO easy. I don't want to feel like I can't have these things again, but feel bad when I eat them. Like the other night, my daughter wanted some fruit Loops. I had a couple and that turned into a handful and if I didn't put the box away, it would've been more. When I fall off, I tell myself that tomorrow is a new day and I'm doing the very best I can. And you're right, we eat it because it 'was there.' Harsh reality is, I'm still eating out of emotion or boredom, but I'm trying really hard to control that. Thanks for having a post like this, I was DYING to confess to someone that understands!

I confess that I ate a whole bag of jelly Beans.< /p>
I confess that I licked the icing off of a cupcake tonight, because it was staring me in the face.
I confess that I love rubbing in the fact that I've lost so much weight.
I confess that I'm scared I'll fall back into old habits and eat my weight in food again.
I confess that my recliner is more comfortable than getting up and doing my Tae-Bo.
I confess that I've secretly hid 3 different types of candy in the freezer so my daughter doesn't find it.
I confess that I miss the way I used to eat, throwing caution and calories to the wind and just enjoying it.
I confess that I'm scared to fail.

I confess...
- I haven't been to the gym in a month.
- I have weighed myself everyday this week (normally only 1-2x a week) because I'm SSSOOO close to the century club!
- I get really irritated with some people's "holier than thou" preachy, opinionated attitudes on this site which makes me not post for fear of judgment and ridicule. Why can't we just all get along???
- I'm really sad about getting rid of all of my clothes. All I see is wasted $$$ (because I have A LOT of clothes).
- I've only told a few close friends this... I plan on staying single during this journey so I can see what kind of "ass I can pull" and truly enjoy the attention I get!

Talking with my nonop friends, this sounds pretty normal. I actually asked them about this because I had this before I was even doing preop diet. Many of them said they had days when they were just hungrier than other days. I never understood it, but my nutritionist talks about if I am feeling hungry (truly hungry and not head hunger) that I should up my lean Proteins a little.
But I think GG is right. If you are bouncing back and forth between 500-1000, I bet you would be ok.

Stay positive! We've all hit stalls, then miraculously drop a few pounds after that. You lose a lot in the first few months and eventually it will slow down. But you have to look at it this way, a loss is a loss, even if it's just one pound. We didn't gain this weight overnight and we certainly can't expect to drop it so quickly. We'd all love to lose 10 lbs a week for months, but the truth is, it won't happen. I've only dropped 9 lbs in 6 weeks, not a huge loss, but I'm very happy with it! Track what you're eating, get in your Protein and exercise! You'll see the scale moving again, hang in there!

There is no way you're going to get in your Protein this early. It will come with time. The important thing is to stay hydrated! Eventually you'll work your way up to the desired daily protein. Don't rush it!!

I cheated 3 days in with eggs, 3 days before my surgery, I chewed and spit a double cheeseburger and onion rings from Culver's. And I had 6 Diet Dr. Pepper's the day before. I think you'll be fine

LOVE LOVE LOVE That pic of you two on the dirt road! You look fabulous!!!

I went out with my gf's a few nights ago and felt so incredibly sexy! I had on new jeans (size 14) and an adorable jacket (size XL) with some new knee-high boots. For the very first time, I felt normal. I wasn't the 'fat girl' of my group and felt ELATED! I loved getting up and walking around, just so people could see me And I loved when my friend said, 'You don't waddle anymore.' And I overheard another telling a friend, 'She really looks good!' It's so great to have the support of my friends and to hear people saying how great I look. I feel absolutely amazing! My 'fat girl mentality' is slowly leaving, never thought I could look & feel so good!
