Okay, mornings are easy - it is morning now (I'm 7.5 hours ahead of US east coast) I have no inclination for food in the mornings, it's the nights when I am soothing myself and relaxing from the day and trying to fall asleep that I want to nibble. So, right now, I am having some herbal tea, and I will have a Protein Shake made with 1% milk. lunch will be a salad and some tuna - no bread. dinner will probably be some chicken if I can get it, if not - another Protein shake. I kinda like having a semi-frozen protein shake at night, it's almost like a milkshake and satisfies the craving for sweets. Let's see if I am able to adhere to this .... Oh and I will do weights and cardio tonight.

Are you working on the head part of weight loss? Why you became overweight in the first place? Fat is easy to hide behind.

Hey, crap happens right. We all have our issues that we just have to deal. You know if we trip, we fix it and move on. Nighttime eating is something that i have issues with myself. I try to keep the healthy stuff out and around just for the night time munchies. I checked out your pictures, you've done a tremendous job with your weightloss. Don't kick yourself over it, just learn, deal and fix. You've got a good plan above. Hang in, and stay the course. :)

The evenings get me too. I have gotten myself some Omega three gummies and at night hen I feel like snacking that is when I have my Omega 3. 3-4 of them and I am full and no real harm done. I found it a great way to trick my brain :)

Today I answered the siren call of the carbs' date=' and I'm so ashamed - started the day off with a half serving of frosted mini-wheats. lunch saw me eat a bite EACH of: pizza, Pasta shells, yakisoba noodles, roasted potatoes, AND a gyro with yogurt sauce. :( And, I just had a pop-tart. I .... don't know what got into me. I'm on my way to the gym now to run like mad and lift punishing weights and dinner will be plain tuna.[/quote']

I guess it was just one of those days for you. We all have them. I bet you have already bounced back.

      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!!
