ugh talk about emotional eating. I totally binged last night, which is not normal for me. I have a lot of stress right now, I am scared about the surgery, I have tons of work on my plate, and my house is a wreck. The kids had me close to a Migraine last night, and I got news from my mom that my grandpa is now checked into his hospice. I spiraled out of control and ate to sooth myself. This is not who I am. This is not how I got fat! Why in the hell did I do this?? I am really depressed today.

i am part of the gone for good club but don't seem to be a good club member. I knew when joined would have a hard time at first becaused joined middle of the monthe and then was going on vac. also to mexico. Had a wonderful time did not get liguids in like i thought i would and knew i would do the sweet thing so guess what i gained 3 lbs. Some came off when i got back but and still having trouble making all the goals i need to make. Really having trouble have not lost anything in 2 months and just the time was in Mexico have been working out hard not everyday but at least 4 to 5 days. Walk 3 miles and do the weight thing watch what i eat but guess still not doing everything right. Need to focus more. Just blowing off steam because things not working

Hi all :)

Telly well done girl....keep on pushing! To everyone else who lost this week, give yourselves a big pat on the back :clap2:

Funny...give yourself a break. Going through lots of things all at the same time pushes everyone. Just don't beat yourself up about it, shrug those shoulders...take a biiiiiiiig siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh and get right back where you want to be!

Jucyc (((((((((hugs))))))))) plateaus like this must be a real pain. I get fed up stuck for a couple of weeks. You sound like you're doing a great job....keep going and it'll come off :girl_hug:

Right, that's me...off to a nice Greek island for a weekend of sun, shopping and swimming. See ya next week!

Funny, please take care fo yourself. I do the SAME thing and have been on a terror lately. Went to see my counselor. Seems like most of it is NOT beating yourself up. This is what we do but unless we take care of ourselves we continue the cycle by beating ourselves up and telling us we are not worth it. We are failures. WE ARE NOT FAILURES!! Take care of yourself. Do soemthing nice for yourself and repeat some positive affirmations!! *****HUGS*****

Amy, I'm so sorry you are so stressed and it means binge eating. I know exactly how you feel. The last week has been so stressful, we are moving back to my hometown, will be living with my mom:help: until we find a house to rent/buy. School and work is uncertain. And just trying to gets things all taken care of here before the actual move. All this means me not being in a great mood and taking it out on my boyfriend, which results into fights and me sitting up at night just eating and eating, ugh!

I AM going to get out of this funk and get back on track, I just keep telling myelf that and know its true. Just wish things would happen faster.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
