So I've been thinking a lot about why I used to eat the way I did. I drove by Long John Silver's today and briefly felt a longing to eat there. Then I asked myself, "Why?" It was then I realized that fast food and any junk food was easy. I didn't have to worry about the Protein content. I didn't count how many calories the food contained. I would chug a 32oz soda and never once think about how much Fluid I still needed for the day. It was easier to give in than to work hard for what I really desired: a thin, healthy body. There are foods I do actually miss the taste of, but for the most part, I just miss not having to work so hard to lose weight. I must say I am very proud of myself for having the strength to keep on driving past the fast food restaurants. I've lost 49lbs and I will NOT look back and miss who I used to be. :D

keep it up girl.... I know that sometimes I still crave a whopper and the smell of fried foods still puts me in a tizzy... but it is not worth it. grilled chicken & veggies are my life now :-)

Forty nine pounds is no joke, you've done wonderful. You've crossed over to the thin life. Congrats, hope I'll do just as well!

Thanks! :) Fried food makes me weak, too, but I've come too far. I weigh 193 and I never want to see 200 again!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
