You and Suz's posts about how much you can indulge makes me glad that I dump. I was just thinking today that there is NOTHING that could possibly get me to eat anything other than a small portion of those oh-so-yummy carbs I used to worship. It is the ultimate behavior management tool for me. One cookie, a piece of a candy bar, a small piece of cake with no icing... that is far as my brain will let me go because I know anything else will make me wish I were dead! It is almost like shock therapy!!!
Sounds like you are on the right track and know what you need to do. It will happen!

Good girl on putting those cookies back! Unfortunately, another bag of dark chocolate followed me home last night :o(. Riding the cotton pony is for the birds...bring on menopause!!!!

Hey Bel:
I think the liquid thing was part of the gain but not all of it...I have been making so terrible food choices lately and I don't feel that I have ANY restriction when eating junk foods.....so I eat and eat and eat until the cows come home....and I am avoiding the lemon cookies...and all other junk foods that I have been partaking in. If it is not the lemon cookies it is hard candies that are scattered throughout the building at work...and I will eat my daily caloires in hard candy and that is so not good. But I do it and I dont know why. I think at time s I am trying to make up for the year I did not eat those things and that is 
But I am taking it one day at a time starting now and I know it has to get better......

Hey Suz! Thanks for the encouragement...and the lemon creme cookies are on the do not eat list for a long time now...I had some in my grocery cart last week but when i got to the register I put them back..and as pitiful as it sounds..I was really sad about not being able to have them....but there was a non scale victory for me if there ever was one!
Happy Belated 16 year anniversary to you! And I will see you next week. I think I am going to hav to read up on MM blog too so I can be encouraged and know that it is not just me going thru the things I am experiencing....this journey has really taken a sharp turn for me and I have to get back on the straight path.

Hey Holly: The OA has not really helped me yet...but I keep going back cause they tell me it works if you work the plan and I have just not been committed. I am right there with you...my lowest weight was 149 and I was 159 yesterday at my therapist office...so its do or die here too for me. And I too know that I earned each and everyone of the pounds that I gained back...but I will did do liquids for 4 days when I got down to 149 and as soon as I started back to eating I slowly bounced back up to 159(at the therapist office) to 162(on my home scale this morning). Getting back to basics sounds so simple but it really is not...once you start making those bad eating decisions, it is hard to stop. But we can and will do this!! Thanks for posting this and letting me know I am not alone in this struggling to maintain. The grazing is what is my down fall and I have got to reel it back in.

LOL I thought I was pretty much done with those until plastics. Most everyone in my office knows I had gastric bypass and I have only had good responses from everyone. Well we do have some other federal agencies in our building and one of the guys from one of these other agencies stopped and asked me how I had lost all the weight. I explained to him all I had gone through and continue to go through. He asked me if I worked out and when I said I did he said he knew it by the way I carry myself, like my body is well put together. Then it got funny cause he backtracked with not that I watch you walking all the time....hehehe. He is a married very nice guy. He is a fitness and nutrition teacher for something. I get a kick out of this..... how about you ladies? I am so glad I made that decision to workout even before I had my RNY.
