I am here!!!! I am here!!! I am late but surely participating!!!!
I have had a crazy starting of the year. Thanks God I am full of work!!!
I am travelinng tormorrow to Monterrey and will go to Chicago next friday to meet the top staff of the company in an international meeting they will have there... I will have a weekend full of work but interesting to the bones!!!!
I have sort of behaved this past week. I went back to my snacks with fresh fruit and started to eat my vegetables again. No matter that I am the same weight: 190 pounds. To be honest I am not stressed about it. I am slow losing pounds when I am back to the right track but they will be off of me sooner or later...
Have a wondeful week!!!

I am not sure what the answer is - I am still searching as well. I thought that thin people were happy, had wonderful relationships with their spouse/SO and that my life was going to be perfect if I could just be thin.
Well fast forward three years and really the only thing different about my life is that I weigh less.
After my surgery, I told my therapist that I put a sign on the fridge and on the door to the pantry that said "It is not in there!" I am not sure who but I think it was someone on this board that suggested it. However I have not figured out what the "it" is and he and I have explored it for over one year.
We gotta figure out what "it" is and it is not an easy road.
It is easy to say just be happy with where you are, but it is not easy to do that - I understand where you are coming from but I don't have an answer....sorry!
Hugs!

Have only had breakfast so far:
1/2 c low fat cottage cheese and a small banana
L will be an isopure shake made with hood's chocolate milk
No idea what dinner will be yet?
Maybe I'll go out to the grocery store and get some things. We got blasted with snow again this weekend so my usual trip to the store didn't happen and the cupboard is bare.

204 today. Last week was 208 so I'm OK with that. Did manage to get the glider out of the corner of the den and did 90 minutes this week and that was my goal.
But am definitely having cabin fever and suffering from S.A.D. It has snowed 6 out of the last 7 days here and I am going wacko. Am seriously thinking about getting out of Chicago and going somewhere warmer for awhile.
Will have to call my brother once he's home from vacation. the little snip is on a Caribbean cruise right now. I guess I can live vicariously through him

Dawn sent this to me today and it really hit home:
Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life. ~Phillip C. McGraw
I wish someone would have beat this into my head 3 years ago. But they didnt and I was left to figure it out for myself. It took me over two years and I nearly lost everything that meant somthing to me.
So my questions are:
Why is my weight so important? Why does it have so much control over me? Why is food controlling me?
This was me at my heaviest:
well over 320 pounds!
Even after gaining 21 pounds Ive still lost 111 pounds since surgery. Why cant I just be happy about what I have lost and not dwell on what Ive gained?!

UGGGG....I cant do milk either! Im miserable for hours if I have any. I sure do miss cereal though.
My plan for today is this:
B: eggbeaters with cheese
L: Protein shake
D: Protein bar
S: celery (if needed)
I need to detox and go back to basics. Ive been eatting pure crap and I feel awful. Im barely squeezing into my size 11/12's again so I know Ive put on some weight since last week.
Anyone know where I can buy some willpower?!

Good morning everyone. My weight today is only down 1lb. 165 on the scale this morning. I'm hoping that once my period starts - today or tomorrow, it will go down another couple of pounds. I've been really good and trying my best to make healthy, better choices.
Keep up the good work everyone! We can and will get back on track.
