Topic: RE: Size One?
WOW! Just been having a peek at your photos - you look great! Well done, you look amazing. And a sixe 1 - well done :)
Wish I could say the same but you've obviously worked hard at it.

Topic: HAPPY FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSRY MAY 2006 ers
Glad people are still here on th site and forum .It has been a crazy ride and I now at five years I am struggling with weight gain. I do not want to get to 300 pounds ever again. Stress and lack of exercise are not helping! I wish my center had a group for people stuggling with weight gain that are further out. Any suggestions?
Topic: Size One?
I swear to God, When I began my journey 5 years ago in May, I didn't even know a size 1 even existed. From a 22 to a 1, wow!

Hi Ruth from the UK! Not many of us around - and i have only just after 5 years on OH discovered this board!
A group of us (mainly bandsters simply because that is how we started, but we now have an RnY as well!) meet up in London a couple of times a year. Interested? We all come up by train from different directions and have tea in Selfridges! Really good to chat to people! If you want me to tell you the next time (prob March/April), PM me your e mail address!

Topic: RE: day 2 liquid diet
Still pleased with myself - eating more, but still controlled. Have lost 4lbs, which always helps and am trying to stay focussed. I don't want it creeping back on again...
I am beginning to realise again just how little I need to eat and how much I have been overeating without even realising it.
Topic: day 2 liquid diet
so yesterday I was really pleased with myself and felt in control over my eating. I did eat some crackers and a small amount of cheese in the evening as my blood sugar crashed, but it was my decision to eat rather than the compulsive eating I've been doing lately so I'm ok with that.
Today forgot and ate a small cookie at church before I 'remembered' I am on liquids, but refuse to feel guilty and used it to remind myself not to eat teh cakes on offer!!! Feels SO GOOD to be making decisions and in control rather than being obsessed/compulsive.
Am taking it one day at a time and wil introduce food again in MUCH smaller quantites that I've been eating lately. I do need to see the number on the scales go down, and will focus on myself much more this year - last year was a year of stresses and putting myself last!

Hi Jacqueline
Your post was exactly what I needed to read today. I've gained back around 35 pounds after never reaching my goal and have looked into revision for a while too. But then decided yesterday to try and get myself back on track and losing again, so this weekend I'm on a detox/cleansing type thing and am back on liquids for a few days.
Great to hear it is possible to lose again and regain control, thank you...

Topic: Almost four and a half years out, I got myself back in CONTROL :)
Well, this is board is certainly slow these days, I hope all of you are well. I know I have shared my experience with gaining weight due to my pregnancy, and then gaining for lack of any good reason.. but I had gotten back up to 173 pounds six months ago!! UGH!!!
At that point I started calling around and asking questions about a revision *yikes* I ended up snapping my self out of old habits like snacking, diet soda ( yes, even diet soda is BAD for us ) and over stretching my pouch everytime I ate! I am now back down to 136 pounds :) We can get control back after regaining, it's difficult at first but it's gets easier!
Take Care Everyone, Stay Healthy!

Topic: RE: Recovering food-a-holic
How am I? well my summer was really complicated, I hiked and I walked, and I traveled all over the place teaching my children about Geology, Wildlife, and Native American Culture. that means that I didnt always make time for good food choices, so trail mix was quick and fast, and not always a good idea.
but I convinced myself that I was moving and therefore all would be forgiven. in one week I hiked 20 miles with the kids throughout Glacier Park.
I was with my parents a good bit of the time, and at one point I tried Rhubarb and puked it up over the next 4 hours, (horrible foamies) my mom writes on my facebook that she would like to know how my eating disorder is coming along now that there is less stress from summer? WTF? seriously, you think that I have an eating disorder? that I eat too much and then puke it up so that I feel better. *sigh*
I am home and am homeschooling my children, that is a bit stressful, but we are out daily for P.E., yesterday we rode bikes over a variety of terrains for 5 miles. I have reverted back to Rice Milk and the dumping from milk has decreased, that is a good thing. I still eat cheese frequently when I am feeling that my blood sugar is out of whack, and according to the Dr that is a bad thing. he says that Cheese and Nuts are extremely fattening. lovely.
did I mention that I am cheap meat intolerant? so I send the husband to the store to get two steaks for a BBQ that we are going to this weekend. I have discovered that Bison Tenderloin is the best situation for my tummy. I do not need a lot, a 4oz steak is actually way more than I need. he choked on the bill. called me twice to make sure that I was AWARE of how much .... YES I was AWARE.. HAHAHA
So I got on the scales yesterday, and I am still a WHOPPING 174... a size 10, which if it was really a size 10, that would not be so bad, but we all know that at some point, a size 10 was really a size 12 and at some point a size 12 was really a size 14.. so I am not at all convince that is a good thing.
today is Cheerios for breakfast, last night was a homemade wrap, and I have discovered Pepperridge farms Deli Flats, those are the bomb.
