I NEED SUPPORT !!!!!!

Ok to start off with life is great ! to a degree and i am trying very hard to think of the good here ...Taylor and i are doing great and just got back from TX were i think we might move in a year or two. I quit my super stressed job and i got a wonderful low stress job now so that is wonderful. My mom is moving to KY which is good and bad LOL if you know what i mean OK NOW FOR THE HELP ....I HAVE GAINED 30 POUNDS IN TWO MONTHS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW OR WAY ...i have not been doing anything different than normal ...I dont get it ...And it sucks ..I am now bac into a 20 pants and i hate it ...I hate myself and i just cannt even get my head in the right spot to eveen get back on track ...I hate to complain but i dont know were else to go for support you guys have always been the best ......And i am not going to get married at this size at all ....HELP ME PLEASE you guys are all i got ...Taylor just dosen't understand since he is small and can eat anything with out worries and all but he is very supportive so that is good Laura

30 pounds in 2 months, and you don't know why?? .... wow... I think it is time for you to get back to the basics... you know, plan your meals, start walking every day... that sort of thing... .... and my guess would be that you are unaware of what you are eating... I know I am a lot... so for a while you should try writing down everything you eat ... it really does make you aware of your eating if you have to write down everything... can be a real eye opener... Take a deep breath... and just go back to basics... protein firs****er, walking, and write down everthing you eat... You can do it!!

Thanks Marc, I know what i need to do ..It is almost just getting my brain to realize that i am worth it ya know ..Cause now i am thinking well you have gained 30 so what is the difference if you gain another 30..I am to the point of thinking i will be fat all my life and i hate it cause right now i have no energy and my back is killing me ... ....ya know ...but i did order a Gazelle from Tony Little i have wanted one forever ...So hopefully i can get to skiing on it ...And i am going to try very very hard to get back on trac it is just mentally hard ....And then you feel like you failed since the surgery did not work out for me like others ...I mena i never even lost 100 i stoped at 75-85 and that was it ....But now to gain 30 ok it might have been three months that i think about it ...But still totally not cool. And i really dont want to get a revision done....I wonder if i go back to Dr Duncan if they have anything to say or something ????? Sorry i know i am rambling on here ....but thanks for the support Laura

You just ramble all you want Laura... that's what it's all about! .... if ya can't yak about this stuff you will go wacko You think you need a revision?.. maybe... I would certainly check with the doctor for sure... Is there a support group in Conyers?... someone posted about one.. and of course I can't remember where it is... Lisa and I are moving as we speak... and will be in our house in Monroe on the 17th... I will be working in the Conyers area... Lisa will be working in Winder...

The basics are all you have. Protein, portion control, cut out the carbonated drinks, no alcohol, no whote carbs, EXERCISE........If you're serious - those are the real basics. You were serious enough about losing the weight to have the surgery and the toll is still there - you just have to use it correctly. THINK about what you eat before you put it in your mouth. Good luck to you! Dee Dee

Dee Dee How can we determine the GOOD carbs from the BAD, I've heard people talking about the GOOD carbs, but how do you know what they are? Melissa

I'm going to post a separate comment about this. I think it's something that needs to be individualized so we can remember what we know! Thanks for asking - it's an IMPORTANT question.

Laura! 30 lb gain in such a short time sounds prettty dramatic... have you checked your thyroid function? are pregnant by any chance? hope you figure out why this is going on... best wishes, Rita

nope not pregers thank god ....I might need to get my thyroid but last time i checked it which was in Jan i think everything was fine ...So who knows ..... Laura
