once again..................

Yep it's about that time of the week where I say once again I am starting over............... This time my hubby says he is gonna do it with me........ Cutting out the carbs, I have gotten so bad with it, I eat chips, toast, crackers, Easter candy, and little candies.......... I am potty training a couple kids at daycare and I give them little treats when they go.......... or when they try and by golly it is working..............BUT I think each time they get one Sarsha gets one too because I did a good job by getting them on there  LOL....... ****It's not each time I have one when they do but pretty darn close..........

So today I am going to try very hard not to eat one..................  to stay away from all the fricken junk and bad stuff.................

Wish me luck because I WILL NEED IT...................

It is very hard being a little over 2 years out and keeping weight off, Knowing what I can eat scares me too....... Don't try things if you know you are not to have them................

So now that I am done babbling, Where the heck is coffee this weekend?  My hubby's brother is coming so I am coming to coffee........... So where do I go, and who is gonna put up with me for an hour or so???????

Marsha,

Good luck today.....I know I'm taking things day to day....Once you know you can eat something your screwed, I wish I would have NEVER tested and tried things I shouldn't of....uhhh....Habits come back fast, somehow we need to fight and not eat that piece of candy.....My motivation right now is to fit into my summer clothes.

Even vitamins for the most part I quit taking.....So now I'm trying to take them every morning.....And exercise......

Hang tough today......Kelly

 You can do it!!!! I am having a hard day too... the last 3 weeks have been really easy but tday I just want to pig out!!!! 

You can do it Marsha! Fill your house with good choices and break them up into little baggies so you portion them out quickly when you NEED something. I'm right there with you on this journey and together with the support of everyone here and those close to us we CAN do this! Because our tool is still there, we just have to give it the opportunity to work FOR us!

Sounds familiar, Marsha - not the potty training bit, but just MAINTAINING!

I myself am up 8 pounds from my lowest.  Hardly an insurmountable number, but I know that with me - it's been stress eating.  Too much stress in my life = a broken giveadamn, a broken giveadamn = popping evil things in my mouth without thinking or caring.

So I'm right there with ya.  Need to be more mindful of what fuel I put in the tank, and remind myself that quantities are limited - protein and good, healthy stuff must come first! 

I'm not going to promise God or ANYONE that I won't ever put anything unnecessary in my piehole again (I mean, it IS Easter season, the only time of year you can get those frickin' candy-covered Hershey eggs!), but I will do so only sporadically, and in very limited quantity.   Because I have to remind myself that I USED to be diabetic - and I need to limit carbs for that reason IN ADDITION to honoring and using my WLS tool!

WE CAN DO IT!!!! 

(Oh - btw, this Saturday IS a Maple Grove coffee day    )

Even @ 9 mons out I'm having a tough week of it too!

I just take it day by day.. even hour by hour if I'm having tough days! It's so easy to just pop something in your mouth and not think about what you are doing now... just like you said about knowing what we can eat... I need to stop doing this mindless eating thing...
Hot tamales were my down fall this past weekend.. and now the damn jelly beans are everywhere I look here at work.. ARRRGGGHHH!

Good thing my 9 month post op is today.. I need my NUT to kick me in da BUTT!!

Looking forward to seeing you!
