Confession/being accountable

Well, I havent posted alot here lately, especially on the food forum.  The truth is, I have not been good lately.  I feel guilty, and dont want to confess my eating, so I dont say anything.  Today, I turn over a new leaf.  Determine to workout daily, eat healthier and get it together.  My reality check came when I put on a pair of jeans that fit 6 weeks ago and now they wont fasten.  I cried.  Im only 15 months out, I CANNOT allow myself to slip back this quickly.  Then today when Mike went to the doc, I got on the scales, and they said 143!!!!!  I was just beside myself.   Mike says my eating is not that bad, its just that we arent moving and getting any exercise like we were.  Sooooo, today I go back to the gym, talk to a trainer, and concentrate on my eating habits.  I guess I needed to post this to put it in writing before me.  Not trying to discourage anyone, just trying to get myself in line.  Any comments are welcome, and I am committing at this point to post everything I eat, daily, regardless of good or bad, and I will post my exercise on Wendy's thread daily, even if its nothing.  Hope all are having a good day.   I can do this I KNOW I CAN!!!!

YOU GO RHONDA!!! I'm PROUD of you!! Keep it up!!   Karen

ok girl..... #1: you are human #2: do not beat yourself up #3: it is never to late to take control #4: this is not a set back ok what you are going to do is monitor you calories, are you getting in enough? Remember my metabolism shut down because for 2-3 years I was only getting in 600-900 a day...not enough, my body held onto and stored it as fat. now increase protien and water intake, cut back sodium exercise, and change it up. Once your body gets used to a certain routine it will hit that wonderful plateau (sp). Try to burn off more than you take in. Most machines have an estimate of calories burned and if you are tracking what you eat....how easy will this be to fix??? VERY.

could you be bloated? pms? menopause?

what about stress?

what about using the bathroom? are you getting in fiber? remember with most fiber supps you must increase your water to get max benefits of taking it. do not get discouraged, remember 8 weeks ago I weighed 170 today I am at 152. I did not let that set me back....it opened my eyes.  I am not saying do the 2 hours a night on the elliptical like me.....I am seriously determined to get into my bikini and look hot. I will be 38 in 12 days.......I can look hot at 38!!!! Yes I do 1-2 hours 5-7 days a week on the elliptical and weight train 3 days a week with GYM NATZI. We have bonded and even had dinner one night so he could see how a RNY graduate eats, he laughed and took my plate and ate my food too..... ok so anyhow, you can do this, you just have to set your mind to it and tell yourself every step of the way why you are doing it. I will call you back when I get off work.

love TAMMY....who is gonna be 38, hot and in a bikini by JULY 15!!!

You Go Girl!

I think EVERYBODY slips up post-op.  Some slip up big, some little, some for one meal, some for one month of meals.   But you are being vigilant and getting back on track NOW which is great!  You can do it! 

Thanks guys, I feel much better just getting it out in the open.  Today has been better, I have written down everything I have put in my mouth, which I will update in my eating post later, Mike is keeping track of his as well, and I am moving more.  Its just hard, and I guess I thought it would be magic from here on out, and I should know better.  Thats why Im so thankful for you guys, to keep me on track and to be here when I get off track.  Hugs to you all.  Off to eat dinner, will post more later.
