And tell us whether any of that stuff you are eating, taste better than being thin feels?

I've been biting my tongue about this, but I can't hold it in any longer. I hate that expression with the passion of a thousand fiery nuns! Maybe a million nuns.

That's because every time I join a diet program, the people in it and the leaders say that. And then half the people drop out before they make goal and the rest gain their weight back.

The truth is that food not only tastes great, it fills emotional needs. So in the short run, it often tastes better than being thin (an abstract concept that is far in the future for many) feels.

My own motto is: I can do anything for 1 day.

Or sometimes it's I can do anything for 2 hours or even 1 hour because that's all the willpower I have at that particular moment.

I plan to use this motto a lot during the liquid and mushy stages. :)

Nothing tastes as good as success feels and every pound lost is a success. I try not to enable my addictive personality. :glare:

Slimmy is that enough weight to be considered a gain? Does your weight ever fluctuate?

1 kg after a 62 pound loss is hardly anything to get stressed about. There are so many variables, and unless you have consumed (or not burned) in excess of 7500 calories in that week it is highly unlikely to be weight in the form of body fat. You need an excess of approx 3,500 calories to gain 1 pound of body fat.

If you ate terribly today or all week whatever at least you realize it... get to the gym and back on a healthy diet. YOU CAN DO IT (as evidenced by your weight loss so far!)

After reading your comments realise 1lb not that much weight, was eating between 1000 to 1200, but 3 days this week 900 and the rest between 1200 to 1400. i didnt do any walking this week as heavy rain, normally walk 30 to 45 min a day. no excuse i should have used my treadmill inside. I have 32 -34 pounds to get to goal.Will keep at it not going to be a gonna, am going to be a doer.

      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!!
