My start weight was 294. I have lost 115, currently weighing in at 179. My goal is 155 (and maybe a few lbs. under for cushion, although I'll have a normal bmi at 164). So, 24 lbs. to goal!! Unbelievable!

Topic: RE: Anyone else struggling a bit?
Catherine,
I guess the honeymoon is over!! I've been struggling lately too. More than anything, I'm scared. I'm afraid of how much I can eat now. I'm afraid that maybe I don't have the self-control to practice good habits and keep losing..and more than anything...NOT GAIN! I'm frustrated with myself because I'm not feeling as dedicated as I had been. I'm not focused on my eating and exercising like I had been...and yes, the weight loss has slowed to about 2 lbs. a week. I'm not too concerned about the weightloss as I'm 24 lbs. from goal, but I'm afraid it might STOP!!! And THAT I am afraid of!! I keep trying to kick myself into gear and focus on weightloss while I'm still in the "12 month window", but for whatever reason lately, I can't seem to make myself care! Don't get me wrong, I'm not going back to old habits and pigging out, but I do have a few chips here and there, and have had sugar free icecream treats several times lately. I'm afraid I am losing control! I guess NOW is the time when this process gets difficult, and NOW is also the time when we truly develop the habits we'll live by long term. It was easy to be focused when all I could keep down was 4 oz. of protein drink. Now that I can eat a handful of Doritoes....I have to practice NOT doing it!!
I did keep journals of my eating and exercise for the first 4 months or so post-op. I think I need to pull it out and follow it for a couple days or something!
Good Luck! I'm glad that I'm not the only one struggling right now! Let's keep that scale moving!
