Day Two

You guys are going to be sick of me by day 395. Today was tougher than yesterday, but I hung in there. I stuck with what I had planned to eat and didn't deviate. 1250 calories for the day if I don't end up eating in my sleep again. I stopped on my way home and bought a new balance ball since my old one keeps deflating and a bottle of melatonin. If I'm not back on here posting at 2:00 am, you'll know the melatonin worked. C.

We will never get tired of you. Glad you got the Melatonin & do hope it works. It might take a night or 2 to get off the Lunesta. My day was a whole lot better, even went for a walk befor the rain hits & drank a lot more water than I have in awhile. Actually made it through day 1 without any sugar, too!! That is a Big thing for me lately. Specially working in the darn bakery. It's definately Mind over Matter Ladybug Marilyn

i hope you got a great nights sleep i look forward to checkin gin later and finding out. yesterday i ate well. i ate smart and felt good. i still craved. thats what it was i wasn't hungry i was craving. i tried very hard to remind myself that i was NOT hungry I was craving but the mind just di't want to listen. i'd say heyyour not hungry it would say Hey I dont' care feedme something. so why do we crave? its something i've always had. i always want to eat something. thats one thing that was awesome for 3 years after the surgery. i didnt' crave anything. i wasn't "hungry" all the time for food. now that has come back. now i know they did Stomach surgery not brain surgery but geesh why did it go that to my head? the stomach surgery took away the feelings in the brain for craving and i dont know how to get them back. anyone have any ideas? if they can fix that for 3 years then why can't they figure out how to make it go away all the time? i don't like to take meds but am concidering talking to my doctor about this when i go to visit him for the 4 year check up. actually for me it will be the 3 & 4 year check up cause i never made it to the 3 year check up. i want the scale to move over the next week. today i will be good again today i will not listen to the cravings and will continue to go down the food path i've chosen. good luck to all OOOO i have a date for tonight! more on that little note lata!

I just can't stay away from the M&M's - just don't know what to do. Believe me, if it was as simple as "Just Say No" - I'd be 100 lbs. soaking wet by now. I'm hanging in, even when I slip, just hanging by my fingernails. Keep going, Connie, and take me with you. I really need you right now.
