Jacole...

Here is a kick in the booty!!! Hopefully that will work....

It is so hard for us emotional eaters....just keep focusing on the goal and how awesome you will feel once you hit the 100 pound mark!

The band was made to overcome just your issue. I've experienced many life stressors over the past year or so and have 'binged'....but the band keeps me in check. It's a great tool.

Jacole...I think that all of us have experienced what you are going through. I think that we have all been using food in the wrong way for so long that we don't know what to do other than eat when were stressed, depressed, overworked or overtired. I come on this site when I know that I am vulneralble. It seems to help me out. I hope you get back on track. Good Luck

Jacole, when possible, what if you go for a walk or do some other exercise or activity when you feel the stress hit? Not only do you not eat then, but you get moving a bit or get something done around the house or in the yard.

Hang in there you are soooooo close to your goal! You are an inspiration to others. Just put this bad time behind you and stop beating yourself up. You have done great! Give yourself credit for that. Start listening to your band again. Good luck and in a month or two let us all Celebrate your 100 lbs.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
