Food is not what it use to be

It has been awhile since my last post. The Holidays have really made me relook at the past year. The 20th was my year aniversary. Over 100 lbs lost and trying not to loose anymore. (I am now down to 134 and the doctor wants be no less than 150) I never thought I would say that. I have no longer a desire to eat. Food is just not what it used to be. Sometimes I even forget to eat and when I do, most of the time I have difficulty. Is anyone else having that problem and any suggestions??

I am 10 lbs below my goal and no idea how to begin maintenance. I am terrified of gaining back the weight, but should be more afraid of not loosing anymore. I don't like to eat. The flu is going around and I may be coming down with something so I am hoping that is why I am so bummed out and exhausted. I still love to cook, but don't like to eat anything. I am so far from the person I used to be it is scary sometimes. I am going to crank up my exercise program with Pilates classes next week and am hoping that some tough workouts will increase my appetite and help my not gain any weight. I will let you know how that goes. That and continue the water/vitamen/protien thing.

Congrats on your wonderful success. I share your feeling about food. It has become a routine, to remember to eat. What a huge difference. I am scheduling my daily meals and have my family members helping to remind me to eat during the holidays. I think it gets better over time. I am still struggling to reach my goal, with another 45 pounds to go. I hope 2006 will be the year of goal for me. Wishing you a great new year. Many blessings to you !!! Karen G

I don't care for food either If I don't eat I get light headed and feel like I'm kind of drunk, I call it rum dummy feeling. I'm forcing myself to eat small meals. Donna 338/161
