FOOD!! Venting

Morning gang, Need to vent for a second. I'M STUFFING MYSELF SILLY THIS MORNING WITH THE NASTY WORD "FOOD" AND I MUST STOP IT NOW!! In all honesty I don't know what got into me. Being eating since this morning. Oatmeal, Garlic bagel crackers, beef jerky and just had split pea soup. Maybe I'm due for a weight loss? Who knows Sometimes when I eat more then normal then I drop a few pounds. Maybe it's because I'm home and stuck in the house due to the cold weather (14 degrees) Feel much better now Thanks for letting me vent and now I can get my skinny butt back on track. It's nice calling myself skinny ass instead of fat ass Donna 338/159

Hello Donna, I know exactly what you mean. I didn't have internet for almost a week. We changed from MSN to DSL. I cancelled my MSN too early. I jumped the gun when I got the modem in the mail. I would find myself bored and eating. It was horrible. I don't ever want to be without my OH anymore. You are doing so good. Size 10's that is awesome. I'm in 14's and can't wait to get to 12's. Take care skinny!!! (((hugs))) Diana 379/185/?

In all honesty I think they need to make more people take therapy classes to get you into the right mind frame for this surgery and dealing with the issues of "GETTING FAT" after we drop all this weight. The golden year is so wonderful and then suddenly the weight loss slows down and everyone freaks out Suddenly we are able to eat foods our baby pouch could not handle before and we find out we can eat Burger King and even McDonalds. It hits us that we must be in control of our pouch now. We mus****ch what we eat and it can be a scary world for us We don't want to be failures, I sure don't. I love my cute little size 10 butt That's why I think I deal with the issues of throwing up at times and not eating when I should. Sometimes I don't let the food digest but instead I throw it back up as my mind tells me that I have eaten to much. That's why I like my job as I'm on my feet all day and now I'm going nights for more hours and money and it's scaring me to death but I can keep myself busy by walking the halls. Donna

Never put much thought to it but I might be eating due to nerves as I'm worried about my husband so when i worry I eat.

Ohhhh Donna honey! I am so there with you... I am sitting still in regard to the scales right now and it's so frustrating to me... I noticed that when I start to eat like that I am about to drop weight again too... I'm hoping that is what's happening because my appetite has been way high! I have also been into the carbs hot and heavy and that's just gotta stop now... I gotta get back on track again for sure and I think mostly its due to my inactivity cuz I am on semester break... I can't wait to go back so I can get the weight moving again (hiking across the campus will do that for ya )... Oh yah BTW it's below zero here today so you're having a heat wave there... I live right by Lake Ontario and BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR is all I can say... Ok I am off to take a nap since I had to have my MIL at the hospital so early this morning... She had surgery and is doing good at the time being! Take care!!! Chelle 423/253

It seems like when you have to much time on our hands is when we reach for the wrong foods I'll have to start forcing myself to eat better. Get some fruit in this house. Donna 338/159

Vent away Cute and Sexy! It reminds me that I am not alone!!! Hope your husband is alright! Terri 358/177

Thanks Terri for caring Hopefully it's nothing with my husband and if it is they can control it with pills this time. He suffers with trigeminal neuralgia and had brain surgery last year but one nerve they could not pad. They actually put Teflon pads between the nerves that is pushing up against trigeminal nerve. He had three nerves pushing up against it but one nerve was so tight the pad kept slipping out. It's one of the worse pains man can suffer from. It's like having electrical shocks running through your face. He stopped eating and was in a coma state for many days due to the heavy drugs. Lost a lot of weight, throwing up and had an over dose of pills in his system at one point and on top of this he is Diabetic. I had to take him to the ER three times and on the third time I refused to take him home as he was laying on my couching dying a very painful death and NOBODY would listen and do anything. My step son was telling everyone that his father was dying at home. I don't want to go there again and it worries me something awful. I'll be kicking him into the surgeons office sooner then he thinks. Donna

Ok I totally hate my appetite!! Its evil and I know It has a life of it's own!! I didn't know it would be sooo hard!!! Ya know what I did, Donna? When you mentioned oatmeal I wasn't hungry at all and I ATE a instant package of brown sugar and honey instant oatmeal. WITH milk which any minute will cause me to have the feeling of a fast ride without the benefit of going to an amusement park!! I wish I could get hypnotized or something,,,, or maybe feel the terror that I felt a couple of days before our surgery. SOMETHING has to snap us out of this.... (hugs) Judy

I'm glad Donna posted this!!!! I'm going absolutely NUTS!!!! I WANT CARBS!!!!! Its true of me too. Every time I go thru a hunger burst, I start losing again. Maybe that'll put me in size 16's. I've been in an 18 for about 1.5 months now. Who knows what's going on with my pouch. Cheri
