Topic: RE: I want MOREEEEE!!!
You are not talking crazy, Girlfriend
... I think before when we were heavier it seemed like we were more limited as to what we thought we could do. Isn't it weird how losing weight affects how we think the rest of the world sees us too. We deserve more and we should be going after more.
I like my job but I don't love my job. I think that in a perfect world I would be doing something crafty (kinda like what you would probably like to do). I've heard someone ask the question "What would you do for free?" Me, it's cooking. Or painting. Or drawing. Mostly cooking. I kick myself everytime I think of the opportunity I had to go to cooking school and didn't because I was too scared thinking about what others would think about a severely morbidly obese chick in a cooking class. Apparently the next step, once you figure out what you would do for free, is to figure out how you can get paid to do it. I haven't figured out that part yet.
Someday... you and I will both be doing something that we love. Maybe just not today or tomorrow.

Terrified
I have been grazing big time.
I eat candy all the time and wonder why my weight loss has stopped.
I don't know how to stop these bad habits.
My husband is the most supportive man ever. He diets, eliminates carbs what ever it takes to keep me on track and as soon as he leaves for work I pull out my candy stash. Lately I have been trying to run off the carbs I am eating in the candy but last night there was just to many to run off. I need help now or else I am going to end up back where I started.

Topic: anyone else scared?
Ok so for most of us we are in our 9th month. We are eating comfortably, doing our thing and just getting back to what seems normal for us.
I am stressing latly about my job and how i dislike it so much. Looking for a new job while working one and so forth. I find myself turning to food for comfort...ahhh an old comfortable pair of jeans the food feels like. I am still being good about not eating bread and stuff like this but i find im not eating a "dinner" im grazing....BAD BAD BAD.
And even though eatting makes my mind feel better its a double edge sword. NOW im scared imma get fat again. i re read the pouch rules today and my main problem is the grazing. I know i should drink when i feel hungry but i dont feel hungry im eating cause it makes me feel good. i am trying to focus on this. but i am scared....i so dont want to gain weight. is anyone else struggling with emotional eating?
ANYWAY there my moan for the week .....

I know what you mean. I have been going to school forever. This past year is the first time it am not taking classes in 17 years since H.s. I have 4 degrees and I still don't know what i want to do. Now only 4 classes from My Mba to Add to My BSMEE and MY BSEE. I have recently decided that I aslo want more now that I am of a more normal weight. I am still obese and will always be. But not SMO any longer.
