Topic: RE: Is anyone else struggling?
i am right there with you, i actually posted on the RNY board about my struggles, i wont put them here too, but i have been avoiding coming to this board for very selfish reasons, while im so proud of all of you, i am discouraged because i see you all doing so well and i cant help but feel "whats wrong with me" i am 2 pounds away from my 80lbs lost and i still have another 60 to go and i started logging my food more and eating better (the old habits came back and hunted me down and i struggle with them every day) and i started walking 3 miles a day (from doing just moderate exercise) and i cant get below 191 to save my life. i want to cry, i have started looking into revisions, i have questioned my original instinct to go with RNY and wish i had the option for VSG or DS (which wasnt available in Mass. ) i see my surgeon on the 20th and im so nervous... why cant i seem to lose any more? is my body still getting used to walking 3 miles a day even though its been a month? why did i have to get so spoiled losing so quickly the first 5 months to go practically stagnant now?
i feel for you and if you figure out what to do let me know lol

Yep...It's rough! I find myself grazing and thinking about food too much! I am struggling not wanting to be the kind of person that needs to think about every bite she eats. I want to settle at a weight that is comfortable for me that requires the least amount of effort to maintain. That is just me being honest and realistic about myself. I think that is the key to long term success with this. I still need to work on my compulsive thoughts about food. I am reading some books on it and trying to be mindful and aware. Hang in there! Awareness is the first step in the right direction.

Amazing Amazing! Reading your post felt like I was reading my own. I feel the same way as you do. This is the norm now. I am not super vigilent about my eating or exercise but I do what I need to and move on with life. I hear ya on the melted candle. I equated mine to a melted wax figure. Either way, not to pretty, but slap some spanx on my gut and i look HOT! Congrats on all of your hard work! You look fab and sound very happy!

Yes, my old eating habits are trying to make a comeback and I am trying to do my bet to work through them. I am still "celebrating" my good choices and forgiving my bad ones. As long as I keep making the good choices I will feel that I am making progress.
Let the fact that you spent 20,000 be your motivation. It is crazy to let this EXPENSIVE second chance at health slip through your fingers. You are so totally worth taking care of yourself! You can do it. Keep coming back for support and sharing. We can all be in this together.

It is only on the walks and it has been hot and humid these last couple of days. I have developed an addiction to coffee lately and I'm wondering if I am not drinking enough regular fluids to make up for the caffeine? I'll have to make a doulble effort and see if it helps.
Also, going out Wednesday night to buy hubby his running shoes so we will get started on learning to jog. Will keep you all posted!

Brandi, you look so awesome! But you probably feel like I do. When people tell me how terrific I look I tell them I feel even better than that! Loving my RNY1
