Tammy, That is a horrible day. There is nothing I can think to say except that I empathize with you and what your feeling. Lots of Love and warm thoughts. Andrea

Hey Lisa- Don't beat yourself up. The sugar (particularly chocolate) call my name to me too. We're only human, and we have to battle this everyday. I started keeping 'no sugar added ice cream (Eskimo Pie) in my freezer. I only eat one if I am 1) under 1200 calories for the day 2) hit my protein and water 3) Really need the sweet fix and 4) did not have a real sugar item that day. It's a special treat for myself. It's not low calorie, and is not great for you, but it can stop me from dipping into my neighbors chocolate jar at work. Remember, nothing is forbidden-- I used to deprive myself of stuff and then overeat that crap. I was told by the therapist (yes, Channan, go ahead and make the NYer comment), that you just need to identify WHY you are eating it and then reassess if you really want it or not. Again, or demons don't go away, we're just in a better place to battle them. Love you sweetie.

hi guys long time no post. my life continues to be insane so it gives me very little opportunity to hang around, as much as I might like to. Just wanted to say hi and i'm so impressed with the success of this group!! We are some kick ass WLS patients, aren't we I'm still struggling to keep my weight from dropping any more - which is a weird position to be in. It's not that I'm underweight at all - but i'm really feeling and looking bony which I don't think is a good look for me. I never would have expected to be hoping the scale would go up!! I'm sitting at a loss of 140 pounds since my surgery....which is just amazing to me. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you all know I'm still kicking. I do have updated pics on my blog if you are interested in looking. Smooches to you all. Sharon http://happycatbert.typepad.com/sharons_so_called_life/

Ok I am going to give the new guy one more try tonight. We are going to his house so we can be alone. And I know why he was scared of me. He told me on the phone yesterday that my ex. Boyfriend ( and it is his best friend) had been talking about me. How wild and rough I was in the sack. I told him I wouldn't do anything he didn't want me too. And if he wanted me to stop just say so. Well we are going to try again and keep the ex and his bull crap out of it. He don't need to be in on any thing any way. Soooooooooo I'm trying again........................................................ Have a blessed day amy jo

Congratulations!!!!
