Yeah, I've had the same experiences. I love the new reflection and I'm starting to have an addiction to shopping. This being thinner and healthier is so much fun.

Everyone relax. Most people have these same experiences and feelings. If it was as easy as sticking to a diet and never cheating, none of us would have ever needed the surgery. If you can stick to your pre surgery diet and exercise it will enhance your overall success and jump start your weight loss. Just do the best you can and stop beating yourself up. Drink your water and try to drink some protein drinks so you develop a taste for them and start walking every day. The rest will take care of itself. Wishing you all luck with a successful surgery and an easy time of healing. See you on your losers bench.

Good luck. We all have to go with whatever works for us.

Happy Hanukkah!! Good to see that you are planning to remain strong and stick to your diet. Have a wonderful thanksgiving.

Thank goodness your daughter and her beautiful family are safe. I am a stress and emotional eater so I know where you are coming from. You are correct. Breaking the diet and eating things you shouldn't will not help your daughter nor will they help you. Change your thought process on this. Think that sticking to the plan will make you healthy and that health will get you a chance to visit with your daughter and her family. Stay focused and pray for those who suffered major losses in the tornados. Good luck in your struggles.
