Whatever the answer is, it's self sabotage and it has to be stopped! I'm doing a pretty good job at identifying it before it gets way out of control and I start gaining.
Whoever said this was the easy way out has no idea of the reality and how hard it really is.

I am going through the same thing. I haven't hit goal yet, but I am close. I had surgery 10 months ago and have lost 139 pounds so far. For the last month or so, I've been letting myself have popcorn and a few Bagels. It's such a slippery slope, and it has stopped my weight loss in its tracks. I can't help but wonder if I'm suddenly eating these foods again not because they're my favorite, but because so many people have made such a big deal about my loss (in a positive way) that maybe psychologically I don't like the attention? I have read that people like myself get big to hide behind it. And now that I'm getting attention, I'm uncomfortable with it. I don't know for sure that's the answer, but it's a theory. Even on my wedding day I didn't care to be the center of attention. So I might be onto something.

Posting one day early....weight: 187

I was depressed at first, but it does definitely pass. I think that honestly, I missed eating. It was comfort for me. And without that shield I was forced to see things I was denying, or things that I covered up with food. For me it passed.

I was also sleeved in May 2014, and my weight loss has seriously stalled since before Christmas. It's making me crazy. I know I need to eat less carbs though. I know that will make a huge difference if I do.

I didn't hit goal this time. 191.8 was my final. Bummer. This was much more difficult than the other challenges for me. Oh well! I will do better on the next one!

Gained a pound - 195 this week.
Too much celebrating the Patriots Super Bowl win!! I need to buckle down. January was a difficult month for me in terms of eating carbs.
-
194 today. This challenge has been harder for me since it's been a long cold winter, I feel like I've been home more and eating more comfort type foods = carbs! I'm going to buckle down this coming week and eliminate them!

I am 8 months out from surgery, and for me, when I eat too many carbs, I get head hunger. For me it's my mind telling me I want to eat this or that (usually carbs, and not Protein and fruits & veggies). When I am careful with my carbs, I stay on my plan much easier. Head hunger is very real, and for me, only controlled when I stay away from too many carbs.

Stayed the same this week....197.8

Weight today 197
Goal for this challenge 185

I can honestly say that this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I wouldn't change it for anything. My weight before the 3 week liquid diet was 328. My weight at surgery was 305. I am 7 and 1/2 months out and I currently weigh 197. I feel so much better. I am only sorry that I didn't do it sooner. It has changed my relationship with my husband for the better - it has changed my whole life! I am happy for you that you made this decision for yourself - you will not regret it!! Best of luck to you!
-
Thank you Susan for doing this! It is such a motivation for me!
My goal is 185
