Topic: RE: Craving carbs
I know that we are supposed to avoid all sweets and avoid carbs, but I have found that if you try to avoid them, then your body wants them more. I have found if you can do it in moderation it is ok. If i want a piece of chocolate, I have a PIECE of chocolate. I dont deprive my body of anything. I know that may sound bad to some people, but I am one of those people that can do just 1 of something. I can have a handful or a couple of chips instead of the whole bag like before, and i can eat a small piece of chocolate instead of the whole box. So far, I have not stalled or gained. I know everyone is different, and others may criticize me for eating these things, but I do value the gifts that my surgeon gave to me, and I find for ME that as long as I do it in moderation I am ok. It may not work for everyone, and some peoples will power is not strong enough to just eat one of something....just for me its worked so far. I have had NO hair loss, no dumping, and so far I have lost a total of 143lbs.
Good luck and keep up the good work

Topic: Bad week, but good wow moments
This has been a really rough week for me. My grandmother passed away on Christmas eve 
. She was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with acute leukemia. I know that I should be greatful that she went quickly and didnt suffer much, but I am sad because I miss her SOOOOOO much. 
Her funeral was today, and my wow moments came when I saw people who havent seen me in years and they couldnt beleive how great I looked. I also had several other wow moments this week. I got a gift card for christmas, so I decided I needed some new jeans. I can still wear my other one because they were stretch jeans, and with the elastic they still fit, but I bought a pair that was 4 sizes smaller, and they feel just as loose as the bigger ones do. I feel great. I also fit into new shirts that are a real size instead of just all X's. My biggest wow moment was when I got in the car and was going to fake putting on my seat belt like I normally do, and decided just for the heck of it to try clicking it like your supposed to, and lo and behold I had TONS of seatbelt left. THanks to all of your for your thought and prayers for my grandma and my family, and everyone have a very safe and happy new year.

Hi Rae Ann
Thanks so much for writing this. Now there are a few of us who are going to be doing this, beginning this week, I am starting on Sunday and I just want to get one thing clear in my head. In the first week you say we can have protein suppliments, is that our protein shakes? I can only get certain ones here in Australia and the one I have you mix with non fat milk , is that OK? Can I have say three of those a day along with the jelly, soups and water?? If i can get some crystal light can I have that or not? Sorry to be so specific but Im going to do this and do this right.
Thanks so much for the motivation, I need this so much right now.
hugs from down under
Helen
Topic: RE: Craving carbs
Teresa, I too have given into carbs. Chocolate Chip cookies is the demon for me. You are not alone. I am trying Rae Ann's Platua Buster on Monday. Back to basic training for me. Please join me if you would like to take the challenge. See you lighter. Joanne
Topic: RE: Wednesday Roll Call
Helen, I have gained a few pounds to in the past couple of weeks. I am eating like it is my last week on earth. Monday I am starting the platua Buster diet Rae Ann posted. A friend who had surgery over 2 years ago is going to try it with me. If you are up to it you are welcome to try it with us. I will post the results and we can compare notes. I have to do this. I want so bad to lose 50 lbs before May. I read all the time about people being a size 10 or 14. I am still 18/20 and sometimes I feel sorry for myself and say why isn't this me. I feel like things have always come easier for others but I have always had to struggle so I truely know how you feel. Let me tell you , you are not alone. This applies to many here but we knew it was not all peaches and cream when we started this journey. Take the challenge and join us for 4 weeks. What do we have to lose except hopefully a couple of pounds? I also challenge anyone else who is struggling to try this with us for 4 weeks. See you lighter. Joanne
