Each day is a start over. Today you were weak (join the club) but tomorrow you can be strong again. I had a major pig out a red lobster the other night and ate more than 2 people could. But I put it behind me and decided it was over and all I can do is go on. Try doing some dep breathing exercises to releive the anxiety you are feeling. Try asking God to relieve you of your anxiety. That's what causes emotional eating.

Tex you are more than welcome. It helps me alot. Especially when I go shopping. I can take this list with me and see and focus on what I should be buying instead of what I shouldn't. LOL!!

Paula check in how ya doing honey?

HUGS to us all.

Hi everyone... so glad you guys are still hanging out to check on me. I feel the love!

Penni - what Ive been doing is using the food guide you gave me to eat with. Not measuring the amounts (probably what Im doing wrong). Like I said - at this point, Im using it as a guide.

I know the list says to have canadian bacon - but Ive been doing the regular pre-cooked bacon with 1/3 cup of l/f cottage cheese for Breakfast (list says 1/4c, but I feel like I need a little more, haha)

Ive noticed that this Breakfast is staying with me much longer then anything else Ive tried. This is good news.

The afternoons are the bugger for me. BUT - Im doing better then I was.

In my discouragment, Im researching the gastric sleeve.

Re-reading all the support everyone has given me here, Leatha said something golden... "It gets harder this far out."

I didnt think Id be having this hard of time this soon.

So, Im basically dieting. Trying to keep myself under 1200 cal. a day/low carb stuff. (yuck)

Paula/Leatha...it DOES get harder this far out, and you two are much farther out than I am! I had about a 2 pound "surge" downward. I have been maintaining 185.6 for almost a week now, down from the 187's to 190's. Good, right? (Yeah, well, I got sick and ate 2 Townhouse crackers in 2 days, or something horrible like that, it helped though!)

so...yesterday, I got hungry. I'm talking HUNGRY. I wanted sweets, sugar, fat, mega-calories and fast! The urge was unbearable!!!!! I did manage to over-indulge. SIGH. It's as if my body craved it so badly I couldn't stand it. This is the time when I should NOT listen to my body, but it does this everytime I hit a new low! Why? I think it's because my metabolsim is trying to maintain my current weight? It's telling me if I don't eat I might lose more? So I'd better eat?

I don't know, what's the take, all you food and metabolism experts? Do you do this too? Oprah has said "if you are hungry, you are losing weight". I'm sure that's not an exact quote, but some butchering of what she meant.

So this morning 8am I took a WHOLE Phentermine. I usually only take a half. I will NOT binge today. Last night at church I ate probably 2 cups of pudding. You know, the gross canned stuff from Sams? OMG it was so good. My body craved it. Goopy, thick, yummy, fat, synthetic sugar pudding. But not today, by golly.

What's UP with this?!!!!

LOL - pudding, gross???

I can down a kraft 4-pk -ANY FLAVOR- in seconds and never taste a thing.

ok, so Kathy - Im game for the diet pill stuff, you know this!

So you do the gen. adipex - and Im gonna do the gen. tenuate.

Lets see if its gonna help get that monkey back in his cage!

****cracks whip****

Try asking God to relieve you of your anxiety.

fiveholts ~ Thanks for the reminder.

I know the list says to have canadian bacon - but Ive been doing the regular pre-cooked bacon

3 ounces of bacon: 470 calories

3 ounces of canadian bacon: 100 calories

To put it another way, if you ate 3 ounces of regular bacon every day instead of 3 ounces of canadian bacon, you would gain 40 lbs in a year that you wouldn't have gained if you would have eaten the canadian bacon instead.
