Topic: RE: DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT IN A LONG TIME & STRUGGLING W/EMOTIONAL EATING

WOW! I feel like I am right there with you! I have had the exact same problems. (Minus the husband thing) I really am sorry to hear that you two are fighting so much. It is a hard change in life and makes a lot of couples feel the pressure. Men feel like they are losing the wife they had when we lose the weight. I know it sounds funny but I have heard the same thing from many people. I do feel the same way you do about the weight. I am STUCK! It is so hard to get movement on the scale. I have no routine in exercise, and I too can eat anything I want. It makes it hard to lose the weight. I find myself hiding things again and trying to eat more. It is scary and I think the scariest part is that I know I am doing it. I am trying to stop it but like before it is hard! BUT I AM DETERMINED TO NOT BE BACK TO THE OLD ME! good luck to you and you and your husband will be in my prayers! your sister in wls Chandi 305/290/?

((( HUGS )))) I've been struggling since last fall. Losing only 1-4 pounds per month. It is much harder work to get the weight off at this stage of the game, but it can be done. You just have to keep watching your intake and your exercise levels. Burn up those calories. I count calories and protein levels. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water. It also makes a big difference in the movement of the scale. Sorry to hear about your relationship problems. I hope you are able to work things out. Concentrate on yourself for awhile and perhaps it will help you in both aspects. (weightloss and your marriage) Karen G

Topic: DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT IN A LONG TIME & STRUGGLING W/EMOTIONAL EATING

Hello, everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I have just read some posts and see that a lot of you have done really great and lost tons of weight. It's really inspiring. Perhaps, I should visit this site more often. I used to read message boards every day, and had fallen off the wagon in more ways than one. I don't think I have lost any weight since last summer. Almost nothing makes me sick and I have to battle the emotional hunger. Sometimes it's frustration, sometimes it's boredom that makes me reach out for carbs or sweets. I've also been going through rough times with my husband. We can't seem to stop fighting and I feel like we hate each other sometimes. I step on the scale every day and freak out if I've gone up a pound or so. I am trying to go back to the gym more often, too. I really really want to finally leave plus sizes behind and get below 200 lbs. I am at the edge, where some pluses fit, some are too big and there are some regular missy sizes that fit. Your input would be appreciated.Sorry for the long post.

Topic: RE: Happy Easter

And a Happy Easter to you all as well... My Easter was well... We've been so busy!!! On Friday, I got married!!!!! We went away for the night to Alexandria Bay at a nice resort there... had a jacuzzi suite and everything!!! Absolutely wonderful to be away together... We are taking care of his mom who has Alzheimers and it's a chore just to find any time to ourselves so that was great!!! Now today we had shopping to do and worked on cleaning out the garage which has been a heaping mess all winter long... Gosh I love springtime!!!

We have a huge dumpster sitting outside since we are cleaning out the house... We're prepping to put my MIL into a long term care facility and most likely the house will need to be sold... I will share some wedding pics with my December family in the coming days as soon as I find a min to breathe... Hope you all had a great Easter and stayed away from the Easter candy... I had a little bit but haven't went overboard... My problem here lately has been Margaritas!!! Mmmmmmmmm... Love them!! Take care everyone!! Chelle 423/248 @ 5'8"
