Downward trend stopped right at about the beginning of December 2016 and after weighing in after weeks of avoiding the scale (yup guilty slider foods w/ coffee) and I knew I was gaining I could feel it yet would not and still cannot stop / slow down and get back on the right path.

I never imagined after losing so quickly and so easily it would end and I'd again start gaining but no more lying to myself in the river of denial. I'm a food junky and always will be!

What am I going to do? I'm always hungry! It's like an insatiable hunger that only stops when my pouch is full and pouch only gets full when I eat protein/veggies but why do I continue eating the slider type foods that provide no satiation what so ever!?

I try to blame my 10-11 hr work shifts, the fact that I'm just a "sugar addict" and can eat my sweet and salty snacks as long as I don't eat meals! No wonder I'm gaining!!! How does one get back on track!? Am I alone in my current misery!?

My stomach is feeling awful again, I'm feeling tired and stressed - all the old feelings are coming back after 2 years of successful weight loss over a hundred pounds!

"I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Jesus said cast all your cares up on him for he cares give your burdens to the Lord. You will see the strength and peace and comfort he will give you. I would just start over eating your protein and your low carbs drinking your water and walking and exercise you going to see how the pounds going to come off and you going to see how beautiful you going to look. I will be praying for you. Keep me posted God bless you!!!

Thank you all so much. Yours words are comforting and helpful.
