cravings????

I started at 327 lbs. I had surgery 3/10/05 and lost 141 pounds 11 pounds from 1st goal of 175. I should be very happy and determined to finish but in the last week I find myself craving chocolate kisses! Is anyone out their honestly having any of these same problems?

Are you kidding? What have I not been craving. Chocolate, potato chips and just junk food in general. I have rededicated myself to a regimine of protein, water, vitamins and exercise. I am trying to stay strong during this holiday season (but in truth have not had a lot of success). I had surgery on 3/8/05 with a starting weight of 307 and I am currently 227 so I have a lot of work to continue doing. Best of luck fighting those food demons.

I have been having tons of problems the last 2 weeks with cravings. Mine is stress related but killing me non the less. I have not managed to overcome the stress eating that has plagued me forever! I have been stuck at 164 for about a month also...my own fault...even went back up a few pounds last week during my period. I never thought I would have to say this again but tomorrow I go right back to basics. Give me strength!! I see people at goal already from march and I am jealous! I know it is my own fault though. If I would have stayed on the exercise wagon and stopped sneaking junk I would be there already too. I have 3 months til my year honeymoon is over and I am going to make the best of it from here on out!!! Hugs, Michelle

Stephanie, I will tell the truth, they've brought Sees candy into my office and I just can't stay out of it. I eat at least peice a day so shoot me, I'm human. It is Christmas and I will not beat myself up for a little indulgence as long as I don't go over board. Like last year and ate 3 or was it 4 lbs of Sees candy to my head? Anyways, lifes too short to not enjoy a little temptation ever once in awhile. Deborah W.

Ok guys...lets not beat ourselves up over these craving!!! Just think...a year ago we woulda ate the whole bag if chocolate kisses!!! Weve all come along way...and done really well!!!! We deserve a KISS every now and then!!! Keep up the good work!!! Patti

thanks sooo much for everyones input i was starting to think it was just me. Its a good thing to know i am not alone in this problem.

I LOVE all the normal people on this site!!! To know that I am not alone and just want to be a normal person, at a normal weight, eating normal things in normal proportians! THAT was what I was afraid of before I had surgery...that I would never be normal again. (not that I was before) Now, I CAN eat just 1-2 pieces of candy or just a bite of pie of 2 small cookies and be happy! Before, I had to eat a Dz or 2 and still felt deprived! Wow, what was wrong with me then?? Thanks to all of you who have admitted being normal and loving it! YOU are my heroes!!!
