Let's break the cycle together!

Oh Yes.... the snacks, the candy, the goodies. Let me echo all of your comments about the holiday treats. My weakness is popcorn with added butter and salt....yes I know it is terrible. If I keep track of things, I do sooo much better and today I am tracking, I made it to the gym this morning and now I am thinking about a healthy dinner. Yeah some things don't change. I still think of food quite often, but my mindset has changed to healthier foods. I with ya on back to basics---exercise 3-4 days/wk, 70 grams protein, 64 oz of water and NO MORE POPCORN. Kristen

Deanna I am in there with you my friend. This holiday was horrible and I've been trying to stay away from the chocolate - I didnt used to be a choc-o-holic but I find I am now. I sneak a bite here, a bite there, .......its awful and worse, I think of eating all the time. I am sooo comforted to read others posts who are going through this too. I still have 40 lbs to go to reach goal and I have to stay positive. Stress is getting to me and Im turning to the old comforts......I even made myself throw up the other day because I overate and felt soo yucky. You can do it! I can do it! WE ALL CAN DO IT!!!

Go**** is sooooooo refreshing to know I'm not the only one! Here I thought I had this dirty little secret! I kept feeling like everyone else was doing so good and here I had reverted back to some of my old habits! I'm really glad that I can't eat the quantities that I used to before surgery because I overate sooooo badly before. I just fear that these tendencies are returning and soon I will stretch my stomach out. I guess I just need to be more mindful of what I'm doing ... and I certainly don't want to go back to what I used to be! But today I've eaten my meals and that is it and so far so good! It feels better! Now if I can get over this dreadful cold and get back to the gym! I need my routine back! Thanks everyone for your reassuring words! Deanna
