I will be 1 yr out on the 14th, and am a little disappointed I am not at goal..sigh..I should be happy..I went from 350 to 161...I should jump up and down, but that "goal" set by my MD is eating at me, even tho I wear small shirts and size 8 pants...Geez!

Well, yesterday was a bad day...I felt myself wanting to lose control. I got some not so good news and it just made me want to . So rather than give in...well, I gave in for a little while, but hopefully no real damage since I don't have any real bad food around the house...but I did a walk-in into Jenny Craig. Explained my control issues and that I needed to get some structure back and they really helped me...Thank goodness I have that lifetime membership...and picked-up my new menu and food. So today I am back on Jenny Craig.
Pre-B = 8oz Hood Carb Countdown Choc Milk
B = French Toast w/SF syrup...only ate about 3/4 of a serving
L = Stuffed Chicken Pocket
D = I don't remember...will post later
So we will see how this goes.

Thanks for sharing. I too have been so wrapped up in numbers that I lost sight of the big picture.
You've done great and happy re-birthday!
Topic: 1 YEAR & TEARS
I have been unhappy all weekend, thinking of how I didn't make it to my goal of 150-140.....thinking I failed.
This morning, driving to work I realized 1 year ago today I was about to go into surgery and it struck me, I weighed 288 pounds, had dangerously high blood pressures, could barely walk, I sounded like darth vader when I would breath, I couldn't keep up with my child, etc.
Then the tears started to fall and I couldn't stop. The numbers mean nothing. Yes, I am 124 pounds lighter (164) and have gone from size 26/28 to a size 10.....but that is not important. What is, is I am healthy. I no longer have any health problems and I am going to live.
Today I am THANKFUL.......FOR MY LIFE
Wishing us all continued success on our journies

I think I am in trouble today because it's only 10:20 and I am hungry. I might have to add a snack before lunch.
Do you ever notice that some days you don't even feel like eating and other days you are starving???? I have been in the munchie mode for 2 days (I think PMS related) but today I am truly hungry. Which is a rarity for me since I eat plenty!

She's doing great now! I hung out with her this weekend and she's loving life. She's losing like a trooper, found out she doesn't dump (she's disappointed, but happy too) and she's really glad she had the surgery.
Thanks for asking!
