Deeply ashamed 1 year 4 days out

Marty, I am pre op and I know I haven't went through all of this yet but I know you didn't have this surgery to fail and you haven't. I believe you added a chunk to that 2400+ pounds everyone had lost Saturday night and I know you know exactly what to do to get back on track and I know You will do it too!! Best wishes! Lorie

Back on track is right. I will not fail.

The Lord guided me to this today, gang. I hit the site hit or miss due to work, etc. Today....as I ate my grilled cheese sandwich WITH BUTTER from the school cafeteria...I read this post. I'm so grateful for you honesty Marty. You have no idea how many this is helping. I am 18 months out and have gained probably 5 lbs. in the last 2 weeks. I have been a carboholic machine! I know the drill....and it's TRUE...the more you eat of them...the more you crave....and yet I've been trapped by this addiction. I started yesterday....I thought....high protein, all day....even until late evening...I even walked almost 2 miles....but before bedtime I had consumed a HUGE hunk of chocolate candy and some other stuff that I can't remember. My husband finally got on the weight loss wagon 1st of year after eating tons in front of me for months....and now "I'M* off the freakin' wagon! Sheesh! I had lost with him this past month...making me feel sooooo goood that loss could be accomplished AFTER 18 months...now I'm letting it creep back on. Thank you again for posting...and for all the replies. It truly does help to know you're not alone in this struggle. I got in my first pair of size 16 jeans....prolly a fluke...Bill Blass', they must run big! lol...but I don't care! THAT should be enough to keep me focused...*sigh*...somehow it hasn't been. I'm walking again today! I promise!

Marty, I just wanna say that I am with you all the way here, if you need anything just let me know. I know it can be hard, just try your best and I know you can do it. Melissa

Inspiration Joke of the Day......... An overweight gentleman goes into a gyn and asks the women behind the counter if they have any specials. They reply that they do. The special is for $100 he can chase one of the most beautiful girls around the gym and if you catch her she will go on a date with you. So he chases this girl around the gym and he is unable to catch her, after wearing himself out he decides to leave. About a week later he returns to the gym and weighs in and says that he wants to try out one more of those specials they have. This week he will have to chase two of the trainers around the pool and if he catches them they will give him a free gym membership. The poor guy almost drowns because he is exhausted from chasing the two women around the pool. Not to be discouraged because he has already lost five pounds this week, he decides to leave the gym and go home. After about two weeks, he feels like he has enough stamina to go into the gym and chase down a woman, because if he doesn't he is going to have a severe testicular back-up (wink, wink). So he goes back to the gym and weighs in a this time he hasn't lost any weight. He gained it all back, he says that he wants to try one of the specials again and the girls said they have a new one for anyone that returns the third time. The guy says cool, can't wait to see this one. So he changes into his gym clothes and a guy comes around the corner and says if I catch you I get to have my way with you!!!!!! The moral of this story is that you have to work harder because someone could be knocking at your back door! Good luck on the weight loss and just think about some guy chasing you around. Holly
