need some TLC

I am starting to feel a little down. I cannot get out of the 190's. I go down 3 lbs and up 2...down 1 and up 1. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. The head hunger is creeping in on me lately. That terrifies me! I do not want to be in that place again. Hopefully, now that spring is here I will start doing things in the yard in the evening after work. I do feel like my freedom from my compulsion to eat was very short lived. Thankfully, I really cannot overeat but sadly, I can eat the wrong things. Thanks for listening. I would appreciate any experience, strength or hope from those before me who have felt like this. Love you guys.

Gail I am so sorry It is time to refocus on what is important and that is you.  You are worth all of this and that is why you did the surgery.  Get everything out of the house that is making you nuts and start getting in some more protein.  Keep thinking protein as a snack it will help.  Try to do a little more walking.  This happened to me for about 5 weeks and I thought I would go nuts.  But now everything has kicked up again.  I think our body' slow down and say "ok what the hell is going on here".  Call your doctor and your nut and ask questions.  You are in my thoughts! Hugs Kristen

Hi Gail, Everyone goes through stalls. All you need to do is get refocused and up your protein and cut back on carbs. Carbs will only give you hunger for more carbs.   It is normal to eat some stuff that is not "good" but the good thing is that you can stop and not eat more all at once.  When I feel that way and trust lately I have been having a lot of those days. I snack on high protein stuff and drink lots of water.   Like Kristen said talk to your nutritionist for some help. We are all here for you sweetie. Hugs

Gail, hugs to you and much support to hang in there. I think it can be so hard at times. I know I have months when I bounce up up up and I get scared that this is it for me. It is hard when you are living through it but I think if we just keep on doing what we should do our bodies will do what we need them to do. I think your plan to keep busy out in the yard is a great idea. Distration is our best friend. I think it is really tough to get through but when we look back we see how far we have really come. So hang in there and we are here for you. Joteddie
