Amen sista, carbs ARE the devil. I am in the exact same boat as you. I'm hungry a lot, too. It's like my body is craving calories. For the most part, I eat the right foods but I snack in between meals because my body wants food (or my mind?). I have lost hardly anything this last month, BUT I think to myself, I've lost 101 lbs since I first started the journey and 88 lbs since surgery. I'm at 174-175 now and in a size 10/12 so I can't really complain. I think my body is putting a stop for a while to the weight loss to try and recoup from the last six months. I look at it like, this is okay, let's give the body a chance to catch its breath before I lose the last 30 lbs or so. My primary doc said she'd like to see me at 135 so I'm in the "normal" range, but I think that'll be too tiny for my frame. I've got an appt with my rny surgeon in a week or so and I think it's time we start talking about "goals." He didn't want to do that before but it's time now. I need to know what to shoot for. I also want to talk to him about what my daily caloric intake should be because I really have no idea. I just eat until I feel full and it's been working so far but I need guidelines for long-term maintenance. You're not alone, Amber. We're all feeling the same thing. I also hate winter and can't WAIT for some sunshine and brighter days. We'll get through this and just think where we were LAST February, ugh!! ;) Have a great day and keep your chin up. Leave me a comment on myspace and remind me to do Friday five tomorrow, 'k? lol I always forget! Talk to ya soon!
