I know what you mean about the little bites adding up to big ones! I snacked all through vacation and felt the worst I have felt since I had surgery. I felt sick like. Not with it or something and tired all the time. I know when I get my protein I feel much better. Wendy

Today I am trying a new tactic on my bad habits, I am gonna go cold turkey. I had gotten into a bad habit of snacking on daycare stuff. Graham crackers, animal crackers and the other bad stuff that kids like to eat. Just a bite here or a bite there but it scares me. So today I promised myself that I am going to stop myself. Wish me luck, So far so good. I call me it my unconcious eating because I take a bite of toast or a handful of cereal without even thinking about it and it is really hard to track a bite here and a bite there in fit day. So my weight loss has slowed down quite a bit which could just be the natural progression of things because I am so close to goal or it could be my snacking problem. But nonetheless I figure if I dont break the habit now when I am two or three years out I will start putting on weight from it. And I am terrified of that. Well anyway, I thought that I would post it here with all my june friends to give me some accountability. Wish me luck. I almost messed up wth the grilled cheese I made them for lunch, but I held strong. Thanks for listening LYnn

Good for you Deb! I am finally at a point where I can feel the last few pounds now! I never thought I would be so close to goal! I have about 30 and then plastics. I bet Europe was wonderful. I have always wanted to see it. Especially Italy and Germany. I love old architecture and the buildings there are so fantastic. Wendy

Hi Lisa, So glad you are on the way to healing. I have been away for almost a month, but was able to read postings on the board. I was sorry to hear you were feeling so bad. Know I was thinking about you and am happy you addressed the issue so quickly. God bless, Deb

Hi Kerri i am feeling better thank you. I am not vomitting alarming colors now. AND i will say that when my pouch is empty I dont have the uncomfortable feeling that I had for a long time...SO i can actually eat less which is a plus! THANKS everyone for all the care! LOVE my june family.
