I'm almost exactly 3 months post-op, and Ive lost 35 pounds. I've lost NOTHING in the last 3 to 4 weeks. And Im eating damn near anything I can cram in my mouth.

I know it's anxiety I'm eating, but I don't know what's behind the anxiety, what I need to deal with to eliminate the anxiety.

But in the meantime, I need my butt kicked! I'm eating potatoes, rolls, Pasta (OK, not a lot of pasta, but still), rice, even drinking a glass or two of wine a few times. I'm not paying attention to my Protein, I'm sipping Water while I eat, and I'm eating (grazing) all day long.

OK, not so much while I'm at work, because - well, work - between I get home.

I've noticed my portion sizes are slowly increasing. I'm out of control!

I am taking control back. This is my body, it is my choice wha I put into it, how I treat it, and how I feel in it. I have fallen off the wagon, so to speak. But I don't have to stay off.

It's not 2 late! On Monday start a new routine and stick to it! I know it's easier said than done but you can do it!

#positive&optimistic????

@@rhayla There really is no need to kick your butt. You already know what you're doing wrong, and what you need to do to correct it. So go put your big girl panties on, suck it up, and go do it!

Don't tell me what you CAN'T DO, tell me what you CAN DO!!!

You know what to do, so get to it. NOW!!!!!

Here ya go. One boot to the head coming right up! :-)

But, seriously, I find that the more sugar/high glycemic carbohydrates I eat, the more I crave them. It's tough to give them up.

My little brain lights up with pleasure like a Christmas tree when I eat a donut or ice cream. I try my best to fill up on a dense Protein like chicken/beef/pork, then, if I still have to have the carb, I can get by with just a few bites, instead of eating the whole thing.

No matter what happened yesterday, no matter what mistakes you feel you made, no matter what setbacks may have been dealt to you, no matter what obstacles you struggled with, today is a new day to start fresh, to return to your adventure, to do what matters, to change what needs changing, to improve upon old habits, and to get better.

Thank you all - for listening, and for not hating on me.

I've done much better today, and Ive got my food plan for tomorrow, so I'll be on track. I've got my lunch for tomorrow all ready to go in the morning, and I'm looking forward to getting on the treadmill in the morning. It's a lovely eye-opener!

Rhayla you can do it. Just take one day at a time and focus on living in the solution not the problem. Hunker down and Grind on

rhayla,

Contrats on getting back on track. I try to handle the setbacks the way a dog handles them. Just kick some sand on that sh*t and move on!

One of my mentors said, Success is not sudden or overnight. Success comes through doing the things you need to do daily, through the difficult times and the easy times. When he's feeling bad, he grinds on, when he's feeling good, he grinds on. That steady grind adds up over time and leads to success.

Keep up the good work.
