Selena! I wouldn't be hard on yourself right now!! Losing a loved one is a tough ordeal! I think you are doing great! If you put that added stress on yourself and you will just beat yourself up more! YOU don't need that!! I am proud of you for recognizing your habits! I didn't learn that until after surgery! Hang in there dear and I can't wait to hear the great news!!!

Thanks for the Post, Sandie!! I really do appreciate your 'thought provoking' postings!! I think I too am guilty of beating myself up a bit when I 'fall off the wagon' The other morning, I was depressed and 'mindlessly' put a piece of apple pie on my plate topped with cool whip and ate it for breakfast. I felt AWEFUL the rest of the day and worse yet, I never got sick from it. I think I beat myself up more for 'being able to eat sugar' and not dump. Actually, I can really eat just about anything and this makes me very nervous...... When I get like this and have moment of weakness, I do take it out on others and especially at work. It seems that everyone in my office eats in the office at their desks and everyone can smell it!!! I find it very distracting and harder because, food still smells great and its all I can think about!!! So that makes my bowl of chilli for the 3rd time that week seem really boring.....So I go home for lunch and get out of the office. But the lunch time buffets continue well into the afternoon, ohhhhhh boy.... CarolN

((((Carol)))) yep, been there done that!! Sorry sweetie! Head hunger stinks!! Just know that you are not alone and that you deserve not to be hard on yourself!! I mean just think if Connie was doing this, what would you tell her? Do you not deserve the same? This surgery wasn't meant to forbid us from all foods just teach us to make better choices and if you have a treat do beat yourself up!! Congratulae yourself that you didn't devour like you use to!!! You should be proud of how well you've done and your success thus far!! HUGS Hon!!

Yes! We have all been there done that. I was stress eating when I was going through all that crud with my job (the old one). I was so mad at myself all the time. It certainly didn't make things easier on me. And my weight loss was at a stand still. It really helped for me to have all the support from all my friends here. I don't know what I'd do without all my friends here. Now I am back on track and feeling great! I lost 4 more pounds while I was visiting the family. It's been a long time since I have lost 4 pounds in a one week time period. WHoo Hoo!!! I feel like this year is going to be REALLY good. I am destressed and feeling sane again. I hope 2008 is just as good for you, and all my OH friends. Hugs, Lori

Great post Sandie. I need to read this right about now. I am my worst critic. I try to always remember what my DH says to me if he hears me beating myself up. He says, "Would you ever say what you just said to yourself to one of your friends?" The answer is always a HUGE no. I would NEVER treat my friends like that. So why do I do it we do it to ourselves, ya know? Anyways, thanks again Sandie!!!

Surgeon's goal met, now on to the personal goal...

Sandie: Hey gurl! I am with you 100%.......can't say I am always fair to myself at all. I tried talk therapy, and am now on to an antidepressant, hope it helps with the mood swings and irritability, which have been terrible the last 2 months. My PCP is totally supportive of me, so we are going to talk about it next week. I'll keep you posted, and I know that we wouldn't change a thing about this whole process....I just need to get a handle on my emotions :) Take care, and happy new year! Megan

Hey Sweetheart! I am sooooo proud of you and YOU should be too! You have done FABULOUS!!! Don't forget that as we lose the weight hormones run rampant and then also when we "stablize" the hormones try to also which isn't fun either! Hang in as many that have gone before me say "It gets easier!". Also, "the trials that we go thru only make us a stronger better person if we CHOSE that"!!! LOVES and HUGS!!
