I HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF!!!!!

I need to vent  to myself but i dont listen . So I need to tell someone I am almost a year out  and have not lost any weight for six months I fianally went to dr.missed my 6 mo checkup  daughter had her baby at 29 weeks  hes doing great now and im full time babysitter becouse of holiday finally had day off anyway ihad convinced myself something was wrong with the pouch did the 5dat test didnt loosebut  1lb iv donnothing but protien and veggis for last 3 weeks scale hasent budged so dr got me to admit ihad begun snacking popcorn or cookie here and there which i thought was ok cause i used to eat half a bag right ? well he said even though i stopped 3 weeks ago and have never gained it has stopped all my losing dead in its tracks But he says its not too late to keep up what im doing and it shold start coming off again. And come back in 3 mo. SO why do i sabatoge my self i feel like a failure . I didnt know it was going to be so hard. i didnt know my cravings would come back. The good news is my surger is normal and im off all diabetic meds including insulin im down from a size 24 to a 16 but have only lost 40 lbs I tthink I need support sorry this is so long    thank you     

Hi hun, don't beat yourself about this. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back to what you need to do to get the weight off. Self-pitty gets you no where. I don't mean to sound harsh, just telling you like it is. I did the stupid thing newbies usually do; I thought I was getting enough protein and water everyday, but lo and behold six weeks after I had my surgery, I got extremely dizzy, fell and broke my ankle in 2 places. I spent 13.5 weeks in a wheelchair. Do I make sure I do everything I can to get my protein and water in everyday?? You bet your a$$ I do! You need to do whatever it takes to leave all the crap food alone. Good luck and many blessings as you get back on track.

Thank you so much.So sorry about your ankle. I didnt think i would be one of thos people who thought this was a quick fix but maybe i was BUT iknow better now!!!!!   THANKS  TERESA

Gabby . . .you are still doing great . . . from a 24 to a 16?  OMG .. . I was a 28'ish .. . and no where (consistently) near a 16 - and I've lost almost 75 lbs . . . I'm lapband so it is slower . . . but still you must be losing inches!  Take that great accomplishement and run with it . . . and start all over again doing what you have to!  It will happen!  Best of luck to you!

Thanks Chris, Your right i have lost alot of inches the dr said because i "only" had 80 to 100 to loose is why its been slower for me and im back on track and trying to be gratefull instead of depressed      thanks  .......  Teresa

Hi!

Hey, I really don't think that there's a single person on here that hasn't eaten some stuff that they shouldn't have at some point!  Or any of us who don't think, "Gee, my weight loss would have been better last month if only I had..."  We are all people who have struggled with our weight, none of us are going to do this perfectly.  It's a journey, and we all have to just keep working at it, and we'll get there.  And you are wearing a size 16, how awesome it that!?

I think you are doing just fine, and I'm confident that you will lose even more!

THANKS SO MUCH
