Janine J- thank you

Thank you for taking the time to email me yesterday.

 Today has dawned as Day 1 of my "get back on track" lifestyle (I refuse to use the word diet)

I so appreciate your taking the time to share with me your daily menu.. (feel free to email me any other tips/plans/ideas/survival ideas... )

 My day is off to a good start..

 BUT this is fricking HARD!!! I was so used to not thinking about food, senseless consuming of food product all day. So I am strictly counting the carbs.. and writing down everything that goes in my mouth.. wish me luck!! I hope to be able to stay on this path!

miss you

(((((((((((Stacie))))))))))))) Just sending encouraging thoughts your way! I've given up on sensible (as my wrapped mind hasn't figured it out now.) So I'm going drastic (a la WLS decision) to try to get back into the mind set that drove me to the decision so many years ago!

Day two of back to basics for me.

Be strong!

Rachel

 

 

No problem Stacie I am glad I can help you. We go back a long way...remember we were the original "get-together" girls long before it has become what it has become....you know all the socials these days.

I know it is hard right now....but trust me....instead of caving...get on line here...call me anything....just try and not break the pouch test!

YOU CAN DO IT...YOU ARE STRONG!!! YOU ARE A SUCCESS...THOSE CRAVINGS ONLY LAST ABOUT 20 SECONDS!!! DON'T CAVE......HEAR ME????

I AM HERE FOR YOU!!!!  

so you have to do the pouch test first?? I started yesterday by eating the low carb plan. Do you think my body needs the shock of the PT to kick start it?

 

THank you again so much

 

Remember we all got together in Long Beach with Janet and Joy

Hey Stacie, I haven't been on the board in awhile, and just happened to see your post this morning. I know exactly what you are going through. I am not quite 2 years out, and am just now starting to struggle again. I had gained about 7 lbs, it started over the holidays. Just now I am getting back on track, counting calories, back to the gym, etc. I've lost 2 of the 7 lbs so far. I'm realizing what I really knew even while I was enjoying the "honeymoon" where I lost so much and it was so easy..........it is a life long battle, and I need to fight it each and every day.  I'll never regret having wls, as it saved my life..............now it's up to me to continue to preserve it. We can do this!!!! Love U

Thank yo Janel and everyone else for your support.

WLS and the following 6 years were so easy form me, I can't beleive that I let myslef 'slip so far.

 

But yesterday was day one of a low carb, no processed foods food plan.

I am not calling it a diet, cuz I hate that word, its just choices.. like my own signature tag says..

 

TODAY I CHOOSE TO MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES.

 Hopefully soon I will be here reporting that my clothes are looser once again !

 

You'll be giving us good news in no time!!!! For me, eating healthy means keeping track of calories. I have always found that I need to be able to eat the things I love to eat. Thankfully, wls has given me some very stringent boundaries in the high sugar area. I can eat sweets, but am very limited, or else I feel queasy. Carbs too are my weakness, as I love to snack. Working at Starbucks has it's challenges in that it's so easy to take "leftovers" from a frappucino, and put it in a sample cup to drink. Those add up for sure, and before I knew it, the pants were getting tight. Working out has also helped motivate me to take care of myself. Whatever works for you to keep yourself healthy.............go for it!!

Yes I did the pouch test and then managed my carbs! Hope you are doing better today!  

Hello Dear!!!!!!!!!!!!
