Today is my 8 month anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hello everyone.. Today is 8 month anniversary I have only lost 130 LBS. I am very disappointed. I thought I would have lost more by now. I also have myself to blame due to I have not exercised in a total of 3 weeks ( 1 week I was sick and the other 2 just being lazy.) and I also have been suffering from really bad Head HUNGER. Everyday is a new day for me, I am trying my best. Thanks for everyones support. Nina

130 pounds is nothing to be disappointed about! I think you are doing a fantabulous job. Lately I have been on a stall and cannot seem to get moving, but when I think where I was 8 months ago to where I am now, well it doesn't compare. As for the head hunger, I go thru that as well as my bad habit of automatically opening the fridge door looking for food. Bad habits are hard to break. Keep up your good work, take each day as it comes and do not worry, you will start losing more. Doreen

Disappointed with a 130 lbs weight loss??? You're doing great! Don't forget where we were 8 months ago. You were carrying around another adult!! The head hunger is a nasty demon. There are days I feel like a REAL whimp and failure. BUT, I have learned this tool allows me to forgive myself and regain control. When the head hunger hits, stop and reach for protein. I find the head hunger hits me when I've allowed myself to eat the cracker, cereal, etc. As soon as I fill up the pouch with some dense protein, the demons settle down. Hang in there! Just focus on where we might be 8 months from NOW?!?! From one loser to another, Beth

Hon, My surgery was on the 20th, and I've only lost 88 pounds. I've been flucuating between 270 and 275 for the last month, and to top it off, I broke my foot on Tuesday while bass fishing, which puts me out of commission for at least two weeks for regular activities, and even longer for exercise (I can't even get on the gazelle). I would say that 130 pounds in eight months is more than something to be excited about, but a blessing. Don't beat yourself up. Be happy. Trust me, it's a good number. Grace

Hi honey. I know exactly how you feel. I'm very depressed lately about it. Please see my post on the 'main board' http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/postdetail/1270336.html?vc=0 Katie RNY 9/21/04 -100 lbs 8 monts post-op 380 (pre-op) / 280 (current) / 175 (goal)

There is always someone worse off than you. I am seven months post op and have only lost 72#. Look for the positive, and enjoy every day of being lighter.
