Ok so here goes- I am stuck at 205. 5 Magical short pounds from "Onderland" Why I am stuck here at 205? I will tell you why, because I have been eating slider foods. Mainly Fritos and Junaitas chips sometimes popcorn and close your eyes....even chocolate. So pissed it doesent make me sick like everyone else. Just my luck, it goes down like normal. Usually at bed time. Its comfort food (not making excuses just keeping it real) I am not sure why I am sabotaging myself. I am sure its physiological, although I am not a physiologist. Why I am afraid of going down into the next chapter, am I afraid of success? of the ok, I have done this now what? I have done this and reached my goal but it wasn't the cure all of everything? Am I loosing all this weight for a reaction from others I am afraid I am not going to get. or I will get and not know how to handle it? I haven't had my hair done, or tanned. I think another way of hiding. I think what the problem is that Its been 10 years since I was thin. And at that time I was pretty and young. Now 10 years later, I am afraid to see what I will look like after all this weight is gone, and I get my hair done, and their is nothing more physically that I can do to transform myself and their staring at me in the mirror will be a wrinkled up skinny lady and that's all I can do. PS Tonite I did not eat chocolate...lol :) I have been very honest so please be nice....

Yay for no chocolate tonight! :)

I do my best work at night too... I'm a sneak eater wait till everyone goes to bed kind a girl.

I know all the feelings you are going through.

I think a lot of women here can relate. As much as we hate being fat and unhealthy there is something "safe" about it.

All I can say is therapy, it really does help you find out the "whys".

Girl no I bought them thinking oh protein!

Nope got them a couple of days ago...

Crack I tell you it's a big ole chocolate chip cookie with "protein" thrown into it somewhere.

Yep can't buy those again :P

I have to keep everything thats tempting out of the house because I can't be trusted!

That works for me because I'm also lazy, so I won't actually leave the house to buy the crap I'm fantasizing about :D

jacee -

I sooooo agree with everyone else. Just forgive yourself and move on. Old habits are hard to break. If you don't like the therapy idea, consider meditation or going back to support groups or getting a mentor.

A positive attitude is also a defining moment in these situations. You can do this...look how far you came. (Just be there for me when I am on the onederland fence!)

If night eating is your main problem, choose not to eat after, say, 8pm every night. Water only after that time, then go to bed!

Great topic!!!

I think we can ALL relate. Some days are harder than others. Me, I can have NONE, but I can't have a little (If I have one I have many, so I work HARD to have none).

No one is here to be nasty...We all know the struggles with food addiction....You know what you are doing wrong and now you must focus to get back on track.....Knowing what the areas are that you have trouble with is 1/2 the battle....

We all need a treat now and then...

I think you have something there when you talk about the fear of getting under 200.....I know where you are coming from....I too fear success.....

But.....work through it and see how it goes.....

Your still here and working at it...Be kind to yourself and stop sabotaging yourself.....Get your hair done and nails too......Be good to yourself....you deserve to replace food with things that will last.....

Go, go, go....you would not have gone through the surgery if something deep inside of you was ready.....remember that okay.....

10 years and this surgery doesn't make you ugly and old. You're still the same wonderful person on the inside no matter what you look like on the outside. And that wonderful person deserves the very best, don't be afraid to let her have it.

My advice: get that crap out of the house! That's what I have to do.

I know prior to having surgery, I had a sweet tooth. I loved my sweets. Every night my hubby sits on the couch and has his ice cream. I have a Decaf coffee with sugar free Creamer and it is so delicious. It satisfies my sweet tooth. And sometimes I have a protien bar. Some of those Protein Bars have low grams of sugar and the chocolate coating tastes so good. The amounts of sweets that you are eating probably arent going to deter your weight loss that much but I would be worried that my hair is gonna fall out cause I am not getting enough protien. That is one thing, protien before anything else and I aint gonna be bald

I'll eat some cheater food and then think "wait, what did I just eat?" oblivious to even putting in my mouth. I need something like the invisible fence shock that will make me aware of something off limits coming near my mouth

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
