SOOO MAD!!!

Hi everyone....well went to the Dr. yesterday for my 2 year checkup and guess I knew this...but I have gained 8 POUNDS!!! I am so mad at myself!!!! Then he goes on to tell me that he saw two people who have have the gastric bypass the last couple of days and they have gained allot of their weight back!!! How more depressing!! SO... I decided that I am going to record everything I put in my big mouth(should have been doing THAT!!)....get going on more exerising and I am NOT going to be one of those losers!!! I am going to be a good loser!!( I hope!) So far I am doing good.. B: a special K protein meal bar...coffee s: protein drink l: 1/2 cup of salad and steak (probably a bad choice) s: south beach diet bar crystal light drink. s: hubby put on a roast...will try for only the meat!! Go home and ride my bike (got a bike seat put on it,so no excuses anymore!!) clean my house --go to bed so I won't eat!!

Good for you Karen. Take all that mad energy and direct it into losing again. Your choices look fine to me? You are right - you are going to be a good loser, and get those pesky 8 pounds off and more. Did your surgeon give you any ideas / help on what to do? hugs, Ruth

It does creep back on.. one of the Registered Nurses at the Bariatric Excellence Hospitals has been putting a lot of hers back on as well. and I talked to someone that had lapband is past her orginal 300 lbs and now hovering closer to 400 lbs. I see those situations and it makes me cringe. I noticed a little migration this week. I am up +2 lbs over goal.. which most would say, so what, but I was -7 lbs below goal after I stopped losing, so that is a gain of 9 lbs. granted, I didnt want to be at -7 lbs but I see how easy it is to put on those 9 lbs. in just 1 year. where will I be in 10 years? +90? I am drinking my coffee and I am evaluating what I am eating (today it was malt o meal for breakfast, shrimp and coffee for lunch, and a taco for dinner.) I need to start blogging again.

Why do you think the steak and salad are a bad choice? My body craves cow (my motto is all cow all day lately) and i'm fien with that it obviously needs it or i wouldn't crave it. I think you're doing great so far and remember if you stray off this plan it's ok tomorrow is a new day and you can only try and do better. ANDI

Thanks everyone.....I did pretty good yesterday...kept myself out of the kitchen after work! Went for the roast and carrots for supper and had some popcorn and pork rinds (couple handfuls) for snack and went to bed!! have been keeping track on fitdday,too. Was down a couple pounds this morning...gonna keep going unIil I lose more and get back to at least where I was!! I would like to have a normal BMI too!!! Taking one day at a time!!

((((((((karen))))))))))) there's only today honey don't look at yesterday don't dream about tomorrow it's all about today. I had the cream out of a donut and then went right back on today....i am human and that's all i could think about for the two hours i was in a meeting. ANDI

Sounds like you are doing great Karen - pounds moving already! Keep up the great work, you can do it. Hang around here and let us know each day how it's gone - even if it was terrible, we can commiserate with you and suport you to get through the next day, and celebrate when the days go to plan.

Thanks Andi....I'm not going to beat myself up...but I do think "why did I just eat that!":!??? I did good last night,the kids had an ice cream cone and they didn't finish the cone and I threw it away!! Thats allot of my problem again..eating what the kids don't finish!! But so far so good today again...I did kinda change at lunch and had a bowl of green pepper soup! I had brought a salad,strawberries and roast meat from supper... sloppy joes tonight...have to not have that on bread or a bun,,,,which will be hard not to!!

Better to get mad now then when you are +20lbs or more. We all need a little wake up call every now and then. Just think, it is only 8 lbs better than the 100 or so you may have already lost. Try to put it in a positive perspective. I go for my check up on Wednesday and although I think I will show a loss from the last time I was there it won't be a big loss, and I know I have gained a few pounds in the past few weeks. I also know it is my snacking and lack of exercise that is doing me in. I have to do exactly what you are doing by keeping track of what I am putting in my mouth, but that is easier said than done. Good luck. Amy
