Yes, I know what you mean about checking to see what time your next meal is. I think it's just part of the journey... look at all the people that replied to the post, but atleast we aren't alone! I still have about 60-65 more pounds I want to lose and I wonder if I will ever make it! Your new pic looks great Good luck! Clarissa

Tammy - I saw my nutritionist today and she recommended a food diary, like you did. I have tried this before, but she is going to work with me. I will mail it to her every two weeks, she will review it, then call me back. I think that having a professional "critique" my diet will help me stay on track more! I was snacking on alot of bad things (like chips and cookies!). I even accidentally ate 26 grams of sugar a few days ago and didn't get sick. I guess I should consider myself lucky, my surgeon has told me I've had one of the best successes he's seen, but I feel like that if things did make me sick I wouldn't have fallen into my old habits. Oh well, I got a kick in the butt, and that's what I needed! I will join your exercise post!! Thanks! Clarissa

you're too funny... Tammy

That is totally awesome Lynne! I remember that day very well. I couldn't believe it! Yeah, try carrying around two of those 50lb bags of dogfood with you all day long... I don't even think I could lift two of them together without getting a hernia! Amazing surgery isn't it?? Lori
