I have been eating like a
pig. I don't know if it was because we thought a hurricane was coming right threw Central Florida or because I'm just a big fat pig. I have gained 5lbs. back over 5 days. I so stupid. I only had 11 more pounds to go, now it's 16 more pounds to go. Why can I not still get control over this. I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!! The other day I wanted a Pepsi so bad, that goodess I didn't do that. At least I now that if I ever took one sip of that it would be all over, because I would never be able to stop drinking it. Still to this day that is what I miss the most. Not an food item but a drink! I'm crazy. Please someone put me on the straight and narrow again. I know this is a lifetime commitment and everyone will screw up now and then but I having a hard time getting back up on that horse. Please help, you guys are the best support in the world.

I am so glad you posted this. I am having a rough time at work right now, and it has been hard not to resort to old habits. A few weeks ago I gained 6 pounds over the weekend, and I am still working it back off. Some suggestions that help me.
I take a walk and try to get away from the place I am thinking about.
I ask myself WHY I am eating this. Sometimes just acknowledging that I am not hungry but am doing this because of an emotional eating habit can stop me (sometimes not, but it helps).
I started going back to Fitday and tracking everything I eat. One morning I hit 550 calories before 10am... NOT GOOD! It makes you reevaluate your choices. And I did not do that again!
Other than that, I can only say, I am totally with you on this. I don't have all the answers (If I did I wouldn't have needed the surgery). Cut yourself a break. No one is perfect, and beating yourself up won't help. The important thing is you recognize what you are doing and you start trying to fix the situation.
Lots of love,
Andrea
