Are you particularly stressed about something? I am a stress eater, so that might be your case as well. I don't know if you are still menstrating, but there's another possibility. The beautiful part of this surgery is WE STILL HAVE OUR TOOL! You know you have been neglectful this week, but you also know you can get back on track. Once you recognize your patterns it is easier to get back in control. Please don't beat yourself up! I have to say, I started using FitDay.com to monitor my eating habits and it has made a big difference for me.

Hang in there Barb. Remember a slip is just a slip and you can get back to healthier eating patterns. Like was said in earlier reply: Anything stressful going on? Look at your life and see if any additional issues going on. For me to be at goal might be a little stressful...really.... think about it? It is not easy to adjust to being normal rather than that old comfortable fatness(at least for me) Maybe being at goal is scary as well as exciting. KNOW you can always get right back to the healthier choices you have been making for the past 10 months. This past week might just be a reminder that the brain is still a crazy thing and can fool you. Recommit to your health goals. Take care, jacqueline

Barb, Yes, I have done the same thing this past week. I thought someone said when we eat more it is when our body is getting ready to loose more.. I also think it's a mind thing... When I go to the doctors and he says i am doing well, its my go ahead to try and screw it up.... so maybe it's the goal thing working on your mind..

I ate myself sick on Monday. Literally - I ate so much I threw up and then I ate more. I don't do it often but when I do it I really do it. I know my trigger is my husband, the better I look the meaner he is to me, then I either eat to make myself feel better or I don't eat anything to make myself feel better. I guess I have issues............ Micha

Hey same thing happening here. I haven't really exercised in 3 weeks. I went on vacation for the past 3 long weekends and have totally screwed up. I am back up to 173 and not to happy about it. I have been avoiding the board because I am so depressed. I went to see my shrink about if I am sabotaging myself. Could be. Not sure that I like being thin so much now. I seem to be getting a lot more unwanted attention from some people. DH and I had it out on Saturday. That seemed to help me. I know that isn't an option for you. (how is it going?) Have you reached goal? what is yours? I know we were at a similar spots. I don't remember how tall you are either. ---- but you have been such an inspiration to me let me kick you in the @ss so that you can continue..... LOL by the way you look great in the bathing suit. I can't believe how tight your stomach is. Must be all the working out. donna

Hi Barb, Oh how I relate. Wish we could operate on our brain. And I haven't hit GOAL yet! I guess we feel so good that we think we are invinceable (sp). Slap me in the head a few dozen times. We'll get this. Why? Because we are here and we're helping each other. Sincerely, Koukla

Hi Paula, I had dr. Valin at St. Raphaels hospital. Is Dr. Aranow from St. raphaels?

Hi Barb, I am the same way!! I don't know if it has anything to do with looking better, not feeling so bad about myself, and just giving myself more freedom!! Greg was out of town this week (still is) and I found myself sort of off schedule and routine. I bought some WW ice cream sandwiches and had three at one sitting!! I decided that was not going to be a good idea so I did throw them away. Night is my worse. I don't know why I can't get in control at night. Lately (without the ice cream) it's been crackers. Oh, and I have had the 100 calorie pack popcorn. I'm hoping this is a stage. I have not lost much weight lately, and I want to lose another 20 lbs. I am worried I have stopped. I am at 170 not, what are you? I know you are lower. Maybe you are at your goal?? I go to my doctor next Friday. I'm anxious to hear how I'm doing, lab wise. Hope you've had a better week. Check in and let us know! love you! donna
