I have lost my way and need some support to get me back on track. I am still losing, but just barely. I am 2lbs away from losing 100 and those pesky 5 or so pounds have been hanging on for dear life. I am working out every day for at least 45 minutes. I believe that is the only reason I am loosing. God knows it is not my diet.

I am popping by the offices with candy jars a lot. My office has a candy jar, but I hate what I put in it to keep me from nibbling. However, there are 2 or 3 others that tend to have what I like. I have not been using the food diary and that is just being lazy.

Also, the emotional eating is so had to keep at bay. Old habits are creeping in. For example, my husband it out of town for the weekend and I have been eating crap. I know it is wrong because I feel like it is secret and I would feel terrible if anyone knew what and how much I am eating.

I feel like I am falling apart. Tomorrow is another day and I will get up and try again.

May I ask when you had your surgery ? In reality - when I look at my timeline and the numbers - I haven't done all that bad. I'm sure everything will be fine with me - will continue to post . The good and the bad :-). As one post said, I'm not running a race - I'm living a new life :-)

Help!! I am 8 weeks post op and I feel like I fell off a little around the holidays. I wanna get back on track. What should I do?

for me, I can't "dabble" with sugar. It sets off some kind of switch in my body and I go crazy..literally I lose all self control and I will eat carbs until I am actually sick. As hard as it sometimes is, I do better not having it AT ALL.

When I think about it like my body is allergic to sugar, it makes it easier to avoid.

Good luck-stay strong! You've already come so far, you got this!

That is a really good idea. Everywhere I go, there are candy bowls. I am going to just start telling myself candy makes me sick. I remember I saw this program on the educational channel one time, and it said every time you see foods that tempt you, picture them covered in worms, or ants, etc.

Think of the contents of the candy jar as pretty little pieces of rat poison. While you are at it, do not stop at McPoison's, Poison King, Poison Bell, or TGIP (Thank Goodness it's Poison).
