Everyone has ups and downs. At least you KNOW youre on the wrong track. Now suck it up, pull yourself together and do what you have to do to get thru this! I see you giving advice to everyone else. So be the role model you were meant to be! Dont wuss out now! I dont know you, but I bet youve been thru worse than this! Youre a tough cookie, dont let addiction get the best of you!
Now, there was the best in your face attitude I could muster for someone ive only seen once! LOL. "In your face" is not really my forte, but hey I tried, I hope in some tiny way it helped. I am sorry you miss your friends and that you may have a hernia. I will be praying for you. God Bless you. I wish you joy! ~~~Mary~~~

Hello old bud!
I don't get on here as often as I should but I'm glad to see you here...Its good to know you can come back for a good loving butt kick when you need one!  LOL!  I am sure this time of year isn't helping your situation any at all.  I know its not mine!  I love to bake and cook and I'm eating everything I can get my hands on too!  So maybe I can boot you and you can boot me! 
My husband is cleaning out our cabinets the day after Christmas.  He told me he knows how much I like to bake and I'm making tins of cookies and fudge and other goodies for gifts this year for our neighbors and my daycare parents.  So he gave me some notice.  But he's right...The best way to stop is to not have it in the house!  It sounds so easy and so simple but why the HECK can't I do it!!!!
My addiction is strong also.  So we are in the right place for advice and support!
I'm not in your face but I'm in your computer!  LOL! 
Best of luck and I hope you get back on the wagon!  Maybe I'll be waiting for you there!
Hugs

Kim, i on the norm dont keep forbidden foods in the house. But I have been asked to do holiday baking and making up all the goodies for several families. Last night I made depression oatmeal cookies...werid name but the recipe came from the great depression these demons are loaded with coconut, pecans, raisins real butter oatmeal and are wicked has heck. I ate ONE cookie and went into the worst dumping I have ever had was in pain from 4:30 pm till sometime after 3 am. I am DONE. I cant even think of eatting anything with sugar with out gagging. I went back to full program this morning and BY Golly gonna stay on track.
Since I couldnt sleep I cleared out all goodies stuff and I am finished making anything. I am back to knowing that I am no bigger than my addiction and like alcohol I cant have anything in the house tht will trigger the addictive behavior.
Plus with the carb eatting I am back to being tired alot....
Dont wait to clear the cabinets do it now...if your family cant understand show them your before pics and ask..do you want me like that?? I posted my FAT pics again on the fridge and cabinets....

Hi, Pattye.
Well, I've never been one to kick, but I will tell you that I can relate. Emotional eating is so tempting, even when we know it doesn't do a bit of good. Food is only fuel. I would encourage you to take your frustrations, hurts, etc. to the Lord. One of my favorite verses is, "Cast all your care on Him, for He cares for you."

I wasted years praying for God to remove food addiction from me. I know examples of where God immediately delivered people from cigarette, alcohol, and drug addictions, so I was disappointed that He didn't deliver me from food addiction. I came to realize that, as you said, He already did the work--on the cross. It is up to me to accept that deliverance. He never promises to remove temptation. He has given us His Word, to claim, to use against any evil that tries to work in us. The enemy will use whatever he can to defeat us. Don't give him the satisfaction, girl. Keep your focus on the Lord. Whatever you focus on gets bigger. May it be the Lord.
(((Prayers))),
Mary

Pattye~  I want to offer you a swift kick and in your face attitude lol, but I can't do that when I haven't been totally on track myself.  I am in early menopause (yay me at 31) and I gained around 10 lbs after my hysterectomy back in September (going from 131 to around 142 in no time flat).  The weight gain alone sent me wanting to start grazing and munching again, but I have done a decent job getting on track (well, minus a few holiday related slipups, but it's excused til January 1st and no more of the goodies).  I finally lost 3 of the lbs (and I'm going between 138-139 right now, and I need to stay off the scale and hide it again) that I gained, but I'm not back where I want to be.  I refuse to start up anything hardcore right now (which would be my new p90x program) until the holidays are over, but just know I'm there with you and if we encourage each other, we can help each other stay on track.  *hugs*

Renae,
It just sucks when you have people looking up to and then you have to maintain this farce that you are perfect. I am so sick of trying that I started slipping..then it became a snowball affect. i have to be accountable to someone...so I am going to post on here my food intake...its time that newboes can see that a food addict has to be accountable and not hide from the post ops and be afraid or ashamed to admit they need help...there I go again lol finding a sloution that will help others...and help myself...
Hugs to ya sweetie..and I know how menofriggin  feelss
