sabotage

well it has been 2 months now since my surgery.  i was doing great at first.  but now that i can eat normal food again i am doing horrible.  i feel like i am sabotaging myself.  eating bad, not getting enough protien, not exercising enough.  and i hate it but dont know what to do about it.  anyone else go through this.  i have lost over 50 pounds so far which is good i guess but only lost 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks which is disappointing.  i am just feeling really down on myself like i did all this for nothing!  and i am ruining all the [pain i went through to get the surgery and the pain afterwards.

Okay.. not to sound mean but Im going to be blunt because I have done the same thing too BUT... When I realized it I stopped it.   I have been given a tool and I need to use it.   I pray to God that I never gain my weight back but it is up to me.   I know I have to get a certain amount of exercise and I have to watch what I eat.    I wish you the best of luck.   Maybe you need to do something positive for yourself for a change.   Buy yourself a new outfit and realize how far you are coming.  

Have you done a food diary to help you?   My mentor who is out one year, does a meal plan every day, and sticks with it.  She's lost 125 pounds.   Amazing!    I myself don't do a food diary, but I am researching high protein low fat/sugar recipes and trying them, along with protein shakes.   

For being almost 3 and a half months out you are losing weight well.  I am so happy for you.You had Surgery Aug 21ST? My daughter had her surgery Aug 26Th she's lost a over 60 pounds. She started out pretty heavy,  260 something. she is now in wonderland. She told me this evening. I am so happy for her too.

Keep up the good work.. Pat yourself on the back and keep on track.. Hugs Alizka

thanks so much for the kind words.  i know part of my problem is my inability to exercise as much as i want.  i was extremely obese and due to that have severe arthritis in my knees and back.  i am currently in physical therapy so hopefully that will help and as i lose weight i will be able to do more.  i am hoping this was my wake up call and i am really trying to do better these days.  anyways i just wanted to say thanks for your support!
