The Struggle Begins...

I am at my 6 month mark and boy oh boy is it getting difficult to stay on the straight and narrow. I find myself doing some mindless eating and I won't even talk about the Christmas goodie trays. I find I walk by and grab a little bit here and a little bit there...not eating properly and with small appetizers and sweets feeling full doesn't happen quickly. Sigh...so I have to be very careful with this struggle as I really can see how food addiction can sneak up on me very quickly.

This is the worst time of year for the sweet trays and all the goodies.. Remember u are human and ur going to have days where your going to pick.. You can do this.. and Im sure its times like this that opens our eyes to what can happen if we are not careful.. Take care and enjoy your holidays..

This is going to be a struggle for life for most of us. Mine started around the 11th month mark, and still struggle each and every day.  Gaining weight for me has happened and i realized how quickly i was able to put back on about 14 lbs back.  I've managed to loose about 1/2 of that again, however this is going to be hard work for the rest of our lives. 

i agree with all the above, i put on 6 pds in dec. and this is eating a cup full of food at a time because of the terrible choices i made, a cup of chocolate is not the same as a cup of chicken.

my eyes realize this but my head just kept saying eat it...eat it...

back on boost for a week on monday to get me back to basics. i have been so naughty and i dont want it to get out of hand.

hope i enjoyed that sugar/carbs/calories cause it will be a bit before i will visit them again.  this is scaring me.

i did not have surgery and lose all this weight, only to fail again...i wont do it.

with each others support we can do it jjwbuster (and better..)

Yeah it is almost like the honeymoon is over. I went up 4 lbs last week and then dropped 8 lbs this week however this scares me. It is almost like my mind is trying to convince me that it is ok to eat all the sweets and the scales will still go down. I think I was lucky with this one however I need to get back on track. I didn't think that Christmas would be so hard and I definitely need to plan differently for next year. Well really for any holiday from now on. Holidays are trigger times for me. Our family tradition was that we made/had our favorite foods on Christmas Eve so I thought I would be ok this year. Nope. 

It is so scary to think that I am powerless with food. 

Glad that we are all here for the support. With each other we will be able to work through this.
