not talked about much...

Ok This is what I have been thinking..... I tried every I mean every diet out there and it worked. You never hear that. What you hear is I tried every I mean every diet out there and it did not work. Well I was thinking every time I lost some weight and started to feel better that is when I would go off of the diet and gain it back. On that note this is where I stand now... I had surgery Dec 16th 2003 I started out at 382 and Lost 51 lbs as of Feb 23. I feel good. I wish more of my old clothes would fit but maybe next week. Ok Ok my point... If I did not have this surgery right now is about the time I would stop my diet this would be about the time I feel good. This is the time I gain confidence. This is the time I would start my YO YO effect.... I am amazed that I am still going to loose and not go back... Is this for real? Does anyone else feel this way? Just a thought not talked about much...

What a great post....and so true. Thank you for reminding me that if I hadn't had this surgery, this would be about the time I would start cheating on my diet The good news is, this "tool" we have is still with us, even though our will power might be a bit unstable right now Jackie

You are so right! I feel like at least this time I have a fighting to chance to actually succeed. Thanks for the post. Lisa G

I wish I could be as optimistic. Everyday I say to myself is this it. Sure I broke my pregnancy weight FINALLY and at this point I am down to the lowest point since pregnancy. Before p.g. I was 145 gained 193 pregnant. I remained there for 6 years with my lowest weight being 173 and always regaining and stabalizing at 193. Well then I grew to 208 this past year. Now I am down to 168. I am afraid each day that this is it. It seems like no matter how hard I tried before I couldn't break it. Even with this tool I am losing very slow. I am 3 month's out now and only down 40 pounds. Believe I will take those 40 but I still get weary
