I NEED A GOOD KICK IN THE BUTT!
hey Kat!!!
I agree and I am one of the guilty ones who has let alot of things get in the way of checking in on here...shame on me! I, like alot of others, get busy busy busy and forget to take care of me...and unfortunately, this has happened to me as well. The holidays have played a number on me, emotionally..and I have got to get back to basics. The group used to be alot more livelier than it has been these past months...I have noticed as well. I have noticed, that for me, it is very important to have the support system of people who have gone through the same thing that I may or might be going through at the present time or later. I think that I thought that I was Superwoman, but found out that when it comes to having had wls and dealing with food, I am Clark Kent, and there hasnt been a phone booth lately to change into. I have noticed some grazing going on my way, and so I have served the grazing an EVICTION notice and he/she is leaving immediately starting tomorrow. i am planning on doing the 5 day pouch test and regain my control over those carbs and get back in my spot where I belong. The working out has suffered a bit due to school...but I am getting back in the gym..cuz I have missed it alot and I felt soooo much better when I stayed in the gym. I will be more active on here and show my face more often, cuz I need the support and others need me as well. We can do this Kat and everyone else!!!

It was bound to happen at sometime because guess what? Our bad habits are always lurking around the corner just waiting for an opportunity to step back in. This is a great opportunity for you to show yourself that you can handle this. Think about the 'skinny" people you know. Don't they gain weight sometimes and then diet? You know the ones that say they want to lose 5 or 10 lbs when we were fat and we wanted to just smack em?
Guess what, you are one of those skinny people now!! That means you weigh regularly and when you see that number go up, you take action to bring it back down and to maintain it. You haven't failed. You have done a tremendous job. But now you need to get back to the gym and lose the extra weight. It will take you no time and you will feel so much confidence knowing that you had a small back slide and got right back on track. How do I know this..........ummm personal expierence!!
