Jessica, I sound just like you. I have also only lost 5 lbs in 2 months. I have been testing the wters too much. I need to eliminate xtra carbs, up the protein,etc. I also don't dump so I have been trying a little sugar now and then which also isn't good. Terry

Hi Holly, I've been thinking about you. I have had similar feelings, but they come and go. I have definitely been grieving the loss of joy I used to get out of certain foods or meals. No matter how excited I get about anything, a bite or two and....bleah. I feel like I do a lot of sitting around waiting for other people to finish eating HUGE PILES of food, which are really just "normal" portions. But once I stop eating, which doesn't take all that long, I feel bored, and almost resentful of "having" to wait. I am not proud of this, and I am not unpleasant, but inside I feel like I am thinking about the 1,001 things I could be doing with all this TIME. Then on the other hand, I get on kicks about different foody things. Lately it's sugar free cake baking. It's always for some event, or like recently, to bring something to the home of a friend who died Her family are all diabetic, and I got all into researching, buying different sweeteners & low carb flours to experiment with, and cranking the stuff out. Since I was giving it away, I didn't have more than a taste. Over the holidays, it was sugar-free cheesecakes. And for awhile I was on a London Broil kick. I brought several to potlucks. Now that, I COULD eat, and did, but just a couple of slices for per meal. I enjoyed it for several meals, but still had to hand it on to the dog (nice, lean beef) when it started to get a little dry for me. While I always enjoyed big cooking projects (when I had the energy to stay on my feet and do them), it always ultimately led to a big bunch of eating. Until I was so full I could burst. Over and over until it was gone. Now, it's all about the organizing and the techniques and ingredients, and the appreciation of the people I give the stuff to...and almost nothing at all to do with eating. That's probably way more than you wanted to know, but there ya go! My 2 cents worth plus I hope you are doing well. You look great in the latest pics on your profile! Love, Kathy
