Topic: RE: Three Years Out Pics...
I was going to take some professional portraits to mark the 3 year surgiversary, but then I was so disappointed in my 20 lb gain from not being able to control the carbmonster that I put the lights away and gave up.
Where is all the glow and glee from three years ago?
I am still considered 'trim' and I can still stuff myself into those pants from two years ago, but they are uncomfortable and look like I am trying too hard.
I know what I need to do. I need to eat better (we have a fruit / pasta based diet here) and I need to ride my bike, (it has been triple digits and a drought for months) so I can make excuses all day long.
The surigery is a success but I do not feel like one at all.

Topic: RE: Anyone else doing this?
I have this argument with my dh, weekly. what am i doing wrong that i am now 165 and fat again.
for breakfast I have one to two eggs, maybe I should cut back, but those are supposed to be good for me.
at some point I finished off a slice of cake (no frosting) that I couldn't finish yesterday from my youngest bday.
for snack I had two hand fulls of trail mix with nuts and raisins and m&m's
for lunch I had 2 chicken nuggets (from costco) and 5 tater tots with ketsup
for snack I had two hand fulls of baked multi grained sun chips.
and about 12 soft mints to keep my tummy calm.
dinner will be 1 slice of a 12" cheese pizza.
I made a glass of propel, but I never get to it. I know where my vitamins are but am too tired to actually go get them.
so the discussion with dh of why i am failing, it can e atrributed to failing to put myself first as usual, getting deydrated, and just not paying attention to the basics.

Mandy,
I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarraige!!!
I'm slow at the boards and I see Ruth is starting back up weigh in Fridays,but not many joining in!!
I am like you,I have gained 28 pounds in 3 
years,never even GOT close to my goal!!! I
never wanted to go over 200 again! But here I am again 10 pounds away......I worry too much about my weight,so I think I am just going to forget it for awhile!!!
Good luck with yours!!

I do not give medical advice. I offer my opinion, nothing more.
That's funny. Cereals I can handle. No way can I do pasta or bread. If I had an appetite I could prob add in a few more calories each day. And, I still have the smallest pouch on the freakin' planet. Less that 1/2 c total volume. Sucks.
Good to "see" you again.

I went to a size 4 and am now back up to a 6, and I want to get back down to a 4, so I am trying to cut back, eat more leafy green veggies and more proteins and less carbs. so my recommendation would be that you eat what I have been eating, which is pasta's, breads, and cereals and I stop before I bust my zipper. ;-)

I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I know you were so excited about being pregnant.
Our food addict tendancies are with us for life aren't they. I was one of those who thought once I'd had wls all those difficulties would be solved! How wrong could I be?? It's step by step journey that we are on. You've made the right decision in addressing your weight gain now rather than later, and have looked at why you have gained weight and been honest with yourself. I'm sure you will do great just as you have before, now that you are focussed back.
Please keep in touch and let us know if we can help in any way. I usually post on the Back On Track Together forum now as there aren't many people left on here... Look forward to seeing you again soon
