Topic: need advice
I've been really struggling lately. Alot of stuff is going on in my life right now with work and at home. To begin with, I've been struggling with some depression issues made worse by lots of stress and anxiety at work. I'm trying desperately to get myself back on track and hope that by doing that i'll feel better.
has anyone fallen off the wagon so to speak and what did you do to recover?
Thanks.

Topic: Just a little reminder......
........To keep your hands out of the trick-or-treat bags tomorrow night!!!! 
I know it will be tempting and you might say to yourself "it's just a mini-fun size candy bar"..... but after you pop the 7th one in your mouth 
it becomes a GIANT size candy bar! So don't do it! Instead snack on a handful of raisins, almonds, popcorn, or sliced apples dipped in a little peanut butter, celery sticks dipped in a little ranch dressing or some other healthier choices. I even treated myself to a caramel apple. I figured it's mostly an apple with only a little caramel & nuts on it which isn't too bad. Much better than a candy bar.
Instead have fun dressing up in a fun, sexy costume that shows off your stunning new figure and let that be a reminder why you won't be induldging yourself in all that candy this year! Don't let the
deceive you into thinking you MUST have that fun sized candy bar... because if you eat just one you will eat another. So DON'T DO IT!
Listen to your angel and stear clear of the TREATS....which are really disguised as TRICKS! 
Have fun everyone and stay safe!
BOO!

We all know how easy it is to fall back into our old habits and I've already experienced a few bad spells where I bindged and made bad eating choices to my shame. Thankfully it didn't sabbotage everything I worked so hard for but it's nothing to take lightly. We must be vigilant about our weight loss and keep on track. We can never take it for granted or fool ourselves into thinking that we can just eat any which way we want again. We must not allow ourselves to get too comfortable with food and slip back into our bad habits. We need to constantly be on the look out for those old habits trying to creep back into our lives and that's why this A-Team is so important. I glean so much from all of you and the support an inspiration is exactly what keeps me on the straight and narrow. I know oh too well that I could easily be one of those ladies at that baby shower if it wasn't for all of you guys cheering me on. Thanks everyone for all your encouragement to keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Lisa

I can't add anything; I'm just here to say "Here Here!" and say I'm with you all. I have no desire to be fat again. I'm enjoying this too much.

Most people don't realize it...but our struggles are just beginning. The past months were hard, but our future is harder. I know that this group, and the OH boards have been my savior. I have learned a lot and when I come to the ATeam, I know I have true "family" that I can relate to, people I truly care about and I know they care about me. We seem to dwindle weekly, but I know those that are here will be here to support all and any people who come into the group. I know I see RNY grads who eat everything they want and in great quantity. It amazes them that I still count my protein intake and don't drink with my meals or that I don't drink soda. I hope I can continue to monitor myself forever. I know with your help, I can. Once again..we are in this together!

What amazing investment u made for better health and brighter future. Most of us having the surgery increased our life span by at least 10 years if not more. Diabetes was slowly killing me and I decided I was gonna do something 3 mos after being diagnoised with it .I saw way to many people die from diabetes complication working as a emt. Limb amputation kidney failure blindness heart disease .. to name a few .April1 2007 I decided I was no longer gonna be a fool about my weight and I started my life long journey to beat Diabetes and end the obesitycycle and take back my life. Today I am no longer obese I am just over weight and hope some day to be just normal weight. I hope someday to meet everyone that has become a vitial part of my weight loss u r my weight loss family.. Love all of My a team memeber and even the ones that are no longer with us.

I agree, we need to be on top of this gift we were given. We can't fall back in to the old habits that we use to have. I also have worked hard to get thin and I had to pay for my surgery out of pocket. I will never allow myself to fall back and get in the old rut. I don't ever want to be fat again. I won't let myself be fat again. We need to keep up our support of each other. I know times get tough, but we are the A-TEAM and we are winners in this weight loss battle. I feel sorry for those who are falling back in their old old habits. What a shame. Jan

Happy Monday A-Team!
Congrats on your North Face coat and GV Jeans! Nice to hear you are HOT in the cold weather in Illinois!
I was in Dallas again so did not post yesterday! I did not weigh yesterday so I will do it this week. I figure I am still holding around 177...I am still holding out to loose another 25lbs. It is slow but I am making it.
Sounds like everyone is doing great! i enjoy checking in with everyone, especially on Sunday weigh ins.
Keep up the good work and remember, we have come a long way in the last 18 months.
OH I FORGOT....... I AM GONNA BE A GRANDMA!!! After almost 9 years......We are sooooo happy! Can you tell this is our 1st grandchild? I am so grateful for my RNY! I will be a more active Grandma and hopefully be around for him/her for a long time!
Huggs,
Rhonda.....the Grandma in waiting!
