Scared

Hello, Has this been happening to anyone. In last last week or so. I have noticed I can eat a lot more. I know that gradually you are able to eat more and more but this was such a drastic change. I never really ever felt full after surgery but I would get this felling down in my throat and I would know I had enough or to much. But I do not get that feeling any more and I never feel full. I have gone from eating close to a half of sandwich to a whole one from 1/2 and egg to a whole one plus. I am constantly hungry and cannot seen to stop eating. Over the weekend I never stopped eating. When I stepped on the scale on Saturday instead of loosing I gained 1/2 pound. I am afraid now to step on the scale for fear I may have gained more. When I look at myself in the Mirror I seem to look fatter. I dont know why this is happening I did everything I was told to do. I exercise. I am so scared this is it I am and always will be an obese person. I am so scared. Tina

The week before my period starts, I cannot get full. My theory is that my body is preparing for the loss. Alos I ususally gain 3-4 pounds of water weight which goes away then following week. God Bless, Jen

Tina, I can eat a lot more than I did 2 months ago. I can eat two eggs easy. I never know sometimes I eat and before I know it my nose is running and I start sneezeing. I know at that point I have eaten to much. Sometimes I miss that feeling of fullness. Sometimes I get it right and stop before my nose starts running. Crazy I know!!! I do well at breakfest to lunch no snacking in between. It is Lunch to dinner I have to have a snack around 3 pm. I do well at dinner. I ate 7 shrimp the other day the most I have ever eaten. It sat just fine who know why! I can eat 3 oz of steak with no problem just has to be rare. My weight has done crazy thinks like not wanting to move. To loosing 4 lbs over vacation and then gaining 6 lbs in two week. I am now trying to loose the 6 lbs I could not believe my eyes I had not clue I had gained weight. I was just blown away it really hurt me. I have worked so hard and now have to start over losing the same 6 lbs over again. I have started with a Trainer and I hope it will help. I have watched all the people here who live on 500 cal. per day at 8 months. I take my hat off to them I can not do it. I have tried and I am so weak. They have never stopped losing and just keep droping weight which I think is wonderful. Way to go I am proud of them all. I don't have any answers it is all so different for everyone. What works so great for one does not work for another. I am back above my set point and it took 6 week it break the set point. So at the moment I am down and sad. I know, I will work my way of the this mess for now it is the pitts. I also live in fear of gaining it back and not loosing enought. Good luck Joyce

Tina, try not to worry, as ai know that is difficult to do but at least try. Gaining 1/2 pound could be water or heavier clothes. I eat more now then did but no where near what I ate last year at this time. Try stopping after a certain time. Try increasing your liquids and try going back to basics. 'when I did that I was hardly ever hungry and I definately did not need to snack. You are doing great and it will come off and stay off... ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris
