Will I ever NOT be a fat chick?

Nessa:

Thanks for the encouragement.  I do need to go back to the basics.  I brought a protein bar for lunch and ate it at 9:30.  I so miss the days of a 1/2 a bar per meal.  I feel hungry a lot of the time.  I know it is not always physical hunger.  The hunger in my head still remains from when I was 315 lbs. 
I know that if I don't get a hold of this thing I will move closer to that number and I will regret it.

Have you ever read Geneen Roth's "feeding the hungry heart"?

Geneen discusses emotional eating in all her books...


for me I found before sugery that the more lean protein I ate and the more veggies I ate the fuller I felt...

You know I was just thinking yesterday that I was a failure - until Ranesa reminded me as

others have done that three years ago I was walking around with an oxygen tank over

my shoulder.  It is so damn hard but it is a daily struggle to remember
that it took me 40+ years to get to my highweight of  362 Lbs. :  It isn't going to come or stay off overnight.  It takes exercise , eating right, drinking right and the support of people

who struggle with the same things.  Just know you are not alone and you inspire so many people:  look at the cancer walk you did --Girl I can only dream of completing a 2 day event
like you did.  You rock!-  so lets all rock together and work with our tools!

 

 

Lisa,
Bravo! Just you coming back on here and posting, you are back!! This is what this Forum is all about! We are all here for one another.     You went to the gym last night, physically you are back on track. So,  the hard part, getting your head back into it. Now, that you have shared what's going on, I think everything will seem a lot easier not so overwhelming. Just knowing that you always have friends, not here to judge, just here! Please don't consider this a failure, it's not over till it's over! Welcome back Lisa...Keep us posted Leslie:)

Lisa, Old guy here from Crofton.  I need to lean on my all girl support group. 
my biggest fears were vits/meds and regain. Right now home front stress is peeling off lbs.  I have no desire for food.  I push myself to get in my proteins and fluids.

For you, I agree with Tia about the office goodies and dont buy wine in boxes.  LOL  LOL

Maybe contact someone in your support group for a little co-sponsoring and buddy up

You did it once and you know the rules.  Make better snack choices, fruits, nuts, jerky etc.

I know it sounds like tuff love, but a kick and it gets real
You're a strong women and can overcome this and get back on track.  Remember, this is a life long journey
Just some guy talk  Good luck
