Topic: RE: It used to be so easy......
Good Morning Sheryl,
I find that I too am eating more. I have gone from 310lbs to 159, a size 26/28 to 8 & will be one year out Oct 14, 05. I Love the size I am now & I'm afraid of gaining the weight back 
. Even though I am not hungry I want to eat all the time or I eat too much. The sad part is I know its all in my head & I know I'm not hungry I just think I am! I have fallen and I'm trying to get back into the routine of eating slow and smaller portions. I get scared sometimes, I don't want to gain the weight back. Don't feel like you are alone with this evil 
demon. Oh well, I will try to get back on track & start over in following the rules & guidelines. If you ever feel a need to vent or just talk you can email me at [email protected]. Hang in there. 
Its just the little gremlins in our mind that keep saying feed me, feed me we just have to fight back.
Stay in touch!

Topic: It used to be so easy......
Hi everyone
After 11 months of a relative easy journey, I now find myself getting hungry and the old food demons are returning. I am fighting them but seem to be in a funk for the last week. All food looks good and there is nothing that has made me sick. I don't get full from my usual portions and find myself looking in the refrigerator an hour after eating. Luckily I don't have bad stuff around but the temptations are there. I am so afraid of getting back to my bad habits. I am scared to death.
I had a great vacation in Vegas but have been distracted from my usual routine. I finally kicked myself in the butt and got back to the gym today. Hopefully that will help. I need a routine to settle into, a good routine.
They say confession is good for the soul, so I am sharing my deep concerns with my OH family.
Hugs to everyone
Sheryl
XOXOXOXOXO

Congrats to us all! 
It sure doesnt seem like its been a year already -- where has the time gone??
I started at 288, size 28 (tight) .... and am now down to 167 (keep going up and down) and a size 12 in pants ... size 14/16 in tops. I havent seen this size in FOREVER. So thats pretty cool. 
However, I havent been able to exercise/walk like I should be. I wonder if that is why I keep losing, then I gain it back ... lose then gain again?
I still keep having dizzy spells though .. not sure if its the meds or what. I have to be careful when I get up .... 
I'm glad I am at least warmed up some ... I remember at first being COLD all the time. Now its just sometimes. For the most part I am pretty good, as far as temps go. Once in awhile I get too cold.
The ulcers I was diagnosed with in March 2005 is 1/2 healed -- go back for a 6th endoscopy in January 2006 .....
Nothing else new ... have been eating a few things that maybe I shouldnt ... but I either get sick, and then stay away from it .... or I eat just a very little bit.
