Warning!!!! Got Comfortable and paid for it!!!!

To start, I am not looking for pity. I was doing sooooo well and losing, exercising on a regular bas. and bammmm I got comfortable and started with, oh one bite won't hurt and then well I didn't gain the first time I lost so maybe, I'll eat the whole thing this time. Well it all caught up with me, I have for the first time gained weight and it scares the he-- out of me. I feel like such a failure!!! I was only 19lbs from my goal and I did it, I blow it for myself with my eating. I dont know, is it just me or everyone? I have some freakin major issues with food and I hate myself when I do it but then I do it anyway. Well this is just a warning for anyone who is starting to think like me, oh one bite won't hurt, I am here to warn you one bite turns into two and then the whole thing. In a way I am ashamed of myself, here I went through a life threating surgery and I am gonna blow it. Well just wanted to vent and I know there must be others who are thinking about trying foods they shouldn't, please dont give in. It will catch up with you!!!! Good Luck to all my fellow marchers!!! Now I'm gonna go kick my butt and throw out all the junk!!!! Rhen

Good for you Rhen! Kick those trashy foods to the curb! I am already where you are. Just sick with myself. I am fighting tooth and nail to eat healthy and make only healthy choices...NO grazing, NO bad foods and NO giving in to the cravings... its SOOOOO hard! Vent all you want! I will vent with yoU!!! We need an out! I am so mad at all the bad foods and so mad at myself! I hear you really I do!!! Its only been a year to get use to the way things were...but I guess a year wasn't enough to get a handle on things. I have a better handle on things than before mind you but the struggle still remains. AND also what remains to be seen is that we didnt gain this weight in one year so its no wonder that it would take longer than a year to get a handle on our eating habits. But its a start. We just have to fight harder! One day at a time! Comming here to vent is one of the best choices you made becuase we are here to support you!! To help you get through it! We are all in the same boat and its a wonderful place to be surrounded by wonderful people! Hang in there Rhen! big (((hugs))) Elizabeth M

Thank you Elizabeth, I'm starting over today and the next and the next, whatever it takes. Your reply helps and yes you are right, It's great to be surrounded by wonderful people *****ally understand what you are going through. Thanks again, Rhen

Rhen I think at some point we all do this. If not then good for the people that don't go through it. Anyway I think the most important thing is that you realized it. Good for you for catching it early. Good luck

you are definitely not alone in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain!!!! I'm at the same place , too. We have got to get it together or we'll be back where we were !! I start over everyday!! Good luck to you and all the others that are having the same problems. Judy

Rhen & Everyone! We are not alone in this. Why do you think the Weight Loss industry makes so much money. Our brains are programmed to fail. We have to constantly fight the DEAMONS all the time. The difference this time is we can fight & together we will WIN WIN WIN. Its O.K. to stray a little, the fact that you caught it, before it became a BIG problem is the start in the right direction.. Take that one day or one hour at a time and don't kick your butt too hard as we have the tool now to win this battle. WE WILL SURVIVE THIS !!!! Marilyn, the Bearlady
