Losing,

We all have bad days. In my opinion if you think you can give into that carrot caek temptation in a SMALL amount so that you can avoid some of the other crap I would. I have found that if I can do that I am better off than tryin to avoid it forever. Go somewhere and have a small peice of carrot cake.....but do not buy a cake, just a piece! :) If you try to deny it, it will keep getting worse! Good luck....

justlosinme!! Girl -- i know how it gets... you can do this. When I get that bad, I just go to bed and sleep -- and think about all the yummy things that I can have for Breakfast. THAT usually helps. :-)

You are an inspiration and don't feel bad about eating one bad thing. I agree with BOOBOO. Sometimes it is best to allow yourself one "guilty pleasure" but LIMIT it to one... that way you are over it and go on with your life. There are LOTS of low calories recipes out there for something that tastes sweet but ISNT! I love sugar free/Fat free pumpkin pie (without the crust)... YUM!

Hey Losinjusme,

This will pass. It absolutely totally completely sucks, but it WILL pass. You are such an inspiration to me, and you have already done so much and made such incredible progress. You are dedicated and amazing, you don't have to perfect on top of all that!

Oh, and...

I'm staying on plan today because the next time I get on a plane, the seatbelt is going to fit and I am going to put my little tray table all the way down!

I stayed on plan today because I was determined that, for once, I was going to start being "good" on a Saturday and not use the weekend as an excuse to pig out so I could "start again" Monday.

I will stay on plan tomorrow because I am disgusted with my lack of progress and disappointed in MYSELF and starting to doubt the decision to get the band. Yet, I know it's MY fault and not the band's.

...in addition to myself...my children and husband are worth it. I won't do to my family what my parents did to us. (Both died of lung cancer in their 50s...) Addiction is not an excuse to kill yourself.

I gave up going to Typhoon Lagoon and out to dinner in order to stay on this plan. I'm not going to ruin today now!

Btw, losingjustme... when you do your free days (once a month I think?) is it hard to get back on track? I've done free days before, usually once a week (eek!) and sometimes I extend them into free weekends, etc...

Hang in there losinjusme! You have done great so far - you can do it!!! Everyone has rough Patches.

I'm staying on plan because I'm almost out of 'fat' clothes into regular sizes. Can't wait to say goodbye to lane bryant forever!

      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!!
