Hello everyone,

I have lost my motivation. I almost feel like I don't care, but I do. otherwise I wouldn't be on here. LOL

I think I have been very successful. I have lost 100 pounds since surgery. I am healthy and no longer in physical pain.

I still have 20 more pounds to go. I really want to get there, but when I am about to put unhealthy food in my mouth I tell myself that it is ok this time and that next time I will pass. And the passing hasn't happened. I haven't lost weight in over 2 months.

My biggest problem is snacking! I am a stay at home mom with 2 young children. It can be stressful at times and they have 3 snacks a day, which I have been having with them.

My surgeon's guide lines are to eat only 3 meals.

I am an emotional eater. how do I stop? I am so scared that I will regain my weight if I don't get this emotional eating under control.

Thank you

If your going to cheat just pick a healthier option. Don't eat what the kids eat because they are at a different nutritional level than you are. Have a piece of fruit, Protein bar (low calorie/carbs/sugar) or drink Water to kill cravings.

I personally eat 5 meals a day because they are small portions. No sweets, junks, and lil to no carbs at all... Water is all I drink most of the day besides a lil tea from Starbucks

Just because you snack, doesn't mean you have to overdo it on calories ect. I eat every 2-3 hours (per doctor's orders) and have still never had more than 800 calories. I have lost 93# in less than 5 months. You can do it. Just make better choices on what you snack on. There are lots of options. Best wishes, I am also a stay-at-home mom (I have 4 kids, 2 with special needs) so I know how stressful this life can be. :)

I hear you I fel the same way......I am 8 months out and stalled have had many obstacle personal life mother in law etc and havent lost in 6 weeks well loose 3 gain 4 etc.............
