How are you handling eating?

You know where I hang...maybe next weekend?

Debbie, I am definitely with you after hitting the last brick wall. I am also joining work out express for women today. They have a really good special going on now. It is right across the street from where my grandkids are in after school care so there is no reason I can't go. No excuses !!!!! I have to do this and now before it is to late.!!!! I still belong to the Y but this is closer and only a 1/2 hour workout. I have to give myself some time and this is how I am starting. See you lighter. Joanne

Having your hands full and keeping your mouth empty is a tough call. But we can do it. Exercise definitely helps us and we are more mobile these days. Lets not get sedimentary! Back to working out. Debbie

With me and under stress I don't eat. The stress seems to ''tighten'' my Band and I never or hardly ever feel hungry which really isnt good I know. It will be days and I will realize that all I have had is liquids. I really have to try to get a better grip on this and I know I can.....

Band getting tighter from stress. Okay I guess I am glad I went the RNY way...I could see me with a band that probably tighten so much I couldn't do anything. I wish I had no hunger again. Its good and its bad. Hope the stress disappears soon for ya! Hope everything else is okay. Debbie

I have been battling with sugar. For so long I could not tolerate much and even the Splenda would make me . Now I can eat sugar and I have no problems . I really now see the connection with eating and emotions more than ever now. I never really knew that I was an emotional eater but I now see that when I get upset or angry with those close to me I want to eat something sweet. I have really been doing bad with my exercise, protein and water intake but I am working to resolve this because I know this has to become a integral part of our lives if we are to remain healthy post op but I'm doing good with my vitamins. I am starting my journal again on fitday.com so hopefully this will . Also I am going back to the Y to resume my exercising because I felt so good when this was a weekly regimen in my life. I am giving the bad habits the . I'm with you on paying more attention to what I am eating Take care and thanks for the constant reality checks. What would I do without my WLS family .

Sugar is our enemy....and we do have to recognize we don't need it...it needs us. Lets all make the pack that we will improve our activity and watch closer what we eat this month....Is everyone with us???? Carole you look great and remember that! It will help you say no to those sugary things! Debbie

Debbie, I'm with you No Sugar for a month. It takes 21 days to start a habit so a month may be the start of a good habit. See you tomorrow at the picnic. See you lighter. Joanne
