I have been stalled for 8 months. My husband and family eat and cook what they want. Gained like 7 lbs. Husband buys me donuts and bakes things and fries things. I am getting do depressed and I do not know what to do.

Tomorrow when you wake up know it's a fresh start. Say no to all the garbage foods. Then lower your calorie count. You did it before...you CAN do it again. Find a positive mind set. Set small goals and work towards them. If the foods the family has is a problem ask them to be considerate and change a little. If that's not an option maybe go for a walk while they have dinner. You can and WILL do it.

Just because your husband buys you donuts and fries things doesn't mean you have to eat it.

Try going back to basics:

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Avoid starches, added sugars, fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed.

And, exercise.

I suggest you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your challenges and goals.

In addition, you may want to make an appointment with a counselor or therapist.

Until you get to talk with your Nutritionist, therapist, and Bariatric team, why not gather all of the "comfort foods" daily and donate them to the homeless?

After a week of doing this EVERY day, I think your family will get the hint: You are NOT going to eat that kind of food.

You are simply off track--mentally as well as physically. Go and get yourself some guidance. It can be done. I did it after a 4 year hiatus. I know that you can get back on track too. You just have to want to badly enough to do so.

You CAN do this.

Get mov'n!

Keep us posted as to your progress.

We care--really we do.

Prayers going up for you.
