DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THIS WAY!

Everytime I hit a stall I think this is the end for me? Meaning I won't be able to lose the weight, and I will be a failure...I am eating way more then in the beginning...but I stop when I get the full feeling... ...and I start to freak out...feed back...am I the only one that feels that may...It seems the friggin scale rules my life these days...I have been playing witht he same friggin pound for two weeks now... Dennis

No Dennis, you are definitely not alone in this. I do the same exact thing. I panic when I hit a stall and then beat myself up over how much I've been eating. If we really look at what we're eating vs what we used to eat, we'll see how silly this thinking really is. The problem is that it's very hard to do that. At the moment our stomachs won't allow very much, yet I still panic if I feel I've overdone it. Changing our heads is definitely the hardest part of this whole process. Hang in there, and remember you'll always have support from your Oct pals. Carol

Yes I know exactly how you feel. I can't stop weighing myself once and sometimes twice a day. I always feel like I am eating way to much. So I know how you feel buddy!! Erin 292/202/140

dennis you are not alone,it seems as if im playing a game lol.........one week i lose more then i gain a pound,then lose 5,then i plateu, i believe our bodies are freaked out as well..............vickie r.

Dennis I think you are in my mind! I feel the same way. I guess because before, dieting was: lose a few and stalh forever. Sometimes gain a few back and then dread the scale but not being able to stay away from it. Our brains need to be retrained. I wish there was a book out there that would help me with this. I feel like everytime I eat, I question "Did I eat too much?", "How come I am eating more?", "Did my pouch stretch?", "Did I ruin everything already and need a revision?" I know these questions are not logical but I think them. One day I'm at 75 lbs. gone and the next day is 71 lbs. gone and the next it's 73 lbs. gone and so on. I hate it. This is what I dealt with before and I hate living like this. But...you are not alone. Hugs, Loretta

I think most of us feel that way at least part of the time. I know I do! And I am stalled again also. Deb 392/291-294/225

I sure feel this way! No doubt about it..

I am with ya buddy! I didn't lose for 3 weeks then I lost 11 pounds in 4 days. Now here I am two weeks later and seeing the same 3 pounds up and down. I feel like I am failing as well! So weird,huh?just wish that I could see 189 now! Was dying for under 200 and now I feel like I am being ridiculous wanting 189-we can do this!!!!!!!!!hang in there!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRR I'm right along there with ya Dennis!

Dennis, I feel this way too. I've been at 212 for awhile now, and then the other day...BAM 215 lbs! I almost cried. Logically, I know I didn't gain 3 lbs from food...no matter how badly I've eaten....I just physically can't eat that much, but I still felt like a failure. This morning I'm back down to 212.4, but I'm starting to think I'm going to weigh 212 FOREVER! I lost 10 lbs almost overnight 3 weeks ago, and since then nothing. And I was eating worse then than I am now. SO NOT FAIR! Plus I just got measured at Curves and have only lost 1.5 inches in that 3 week period, so I'm not losing inches either. I'm just stuck and pissed off about it. Sheryl 292/212/160
