Help Me I'm in trouble!!!!!!!!!!!

OK Kate, you have stalled and you can conquer this. Think about just how fabulous you have done. 90+ lbs is really great in 6 months women. The scary part is the "illegal testing of the bad food choice waters". So you have been human and done some food tasting that you feel have been bad for you. Examine these foods and why did you turn to them or why are they bad? Moderation and a small taste are working for me. I have crackers, reduced fat, but I do not eat them everyday I limit how many I consume. I find that individually packaged items are a great friend for me. I buy jello, pudding, cheese, etc in individual containers and eat one package. I use the palm of my hand to judge portion. I purchased 4 beautiful salad plates just for me, can't fill it up like one of my large over large dinner plates. I make sure I have good food choices around me at home and at wor****ep a protein bar in my purse. I have special water bottles at home and at work that I sip from all day and evening so I get all my water in. I plan and plan again like I have never done before. I went under the knife, rearranged my internal plumbing to help me achieve permanent weight loss. This was a very drastic step for all of us.....a final step to achieve a healthier, happier, longer life. I deny myself sweets, but do have reduced fat graham crackers now and then. I take a small taste of something I have not had before. I look at foods that I have had and say "I don't need that, I know what it tastes like". I do protein first always. I find that I buy a big bag of frozen jumbo shrimp, keep it at work in the freezer, take 6-8 out in the morning,they thaw and I have these for lunch. NO fat, all protein and so delicious. I am worth these shrimp. It is all about me and me being happy as I melt away to the person I want and need to be. Make it all about you Kate, put you first, make this surgery work for you. Remember it is work, not an easy journey, others have succeeded, some have failed. You got to want it bad and you must want it bad! Come here every day, share, ask for help, start a string about what is going on. I spend most of my time on the Over Fifty Forum. We are a strong group of women and some men who "talk" everyday. You could visit there. Just know you are important, be good to you, and live the new life one day at a time. Monica..............healthier, happier, sexier age 57 12/06/04 330/240/1??

Hi Katherine, You will finish this--we will all do it together. Please keep coming onto the site and post honestly like this. These people will get you through it. They are great people. I have noticed that I am finally getting hungry and I am trying to avoid the carbs and not snack in between the meals. Water and keeping busy are helping me a lot! Fran
