My journey thus far and questions.

HW: 401

SW: 378

CW: 250

GW: 160

My surgery was on November 23rd, I'm 7 months post op and I'm currently down 128lbs since surgery, 151lbs total. I've been noticing a lot people have been losing faster or slower and I'm proud of all of you! The reason I'm posting is because I was wondering if any of you have been feeling like you're falling back into old habits or if you have a fear of failing? I've been having a lot of mixed feelings since my journey and I'm not sure how everyone else feels. Sometimes I have great eating days, other times I'm ashamed and realized I did a horrible job following my plan. I'm stuck somewhere between who I was and who I want to be. Am I alone in this?

My greatest fear. I have pretty much fallen off the wagon. I crave sweets and although I have eating restrictions, I am always hungry in my head. I have only lost 45 pounds since 11/5 and fluctuate between 167 - 170. Very hard

I feel the same way too. And every day has been a complete and utter struggle.
And I am sort of there too, feel that I have missed a step or I would do better at things, was I just" shooting myself in the foot"? and NOBODY wants to help me face these concerns. Yes down into the Inner ME, I am glad for my surgery, my surgeon, even the facility, but out on the surface, qualms, the conviction I may have. done something wrong, maybe these trails are my fault! Perhaps come the morning, things will get better!
Trying to maintain a positive outlook in an disfunctional & negative world ????
