Need to Whine

Ok, I try not to get on here unless I have something good to say but I have to tell y'all about  my day because I know we've all been there.  So far today I have racked up 1800 calories!!!!!!!!  How can I do this with a stomach the size of an egg?  I'm maintaining  but  my eating has been out of control since the holidays.  I am  feeling like I did before the surgery, helpless and  depressed and unable to control myself.  I have to break this cycle.  Fortunately , I have not gained so at least there's that.  I got out my old weigh****chers stuff today and I guess I will start there.  I'm a year  and a month out now and just started eating "bad stuff" where before I was never tempted.  For the past year every time I got off track my body kind of corrected itself and I knew that it would.  But now,  it hasn't shown the signs of correction and I am able to eat chips and dip and sugar and cookies and things that before I would never have touched!  HELP!!!  I have all of the good stuff in the house, SF popsicles, yogurt, protein, etc but I'm still craving junk and I'm miserable.  Thanks for letting me vent,  any advice from those who are farther along?

When you get an answer please share it with me..

Same boat!  When you find the answer pass it this way Julie

You mean no one has a  magic answer and now I have to WORK at this like a NORMAL person?(sarcasm).  I knew this day would come.  If it's to be it's up to me....

It sucks doesn't it.   This from the person who just ate 1/2 a peanut butter and banana sandwich for dinner.

love ya

1/2 of a peanut butter and banana sandwich?  Try a whole mcdonalds filet of fish sandwich and 1/2 of a medium fries for lunch.  I've been making terrible choices lately but i just have these powerful cravings.  It's like my body is saying, "ok, enough of eating healthy".  I'll just have to put my big girl panties on and suck it up and DO it.  Thanks for replying, you always make me feel better.

Well....as you well know...I found surgery really cut my eating problems out.... I am hoping it will last awhile because I was gettinng worse about choices a little at a time.  Someone suggested that 5 day pouch test helps get you back on track.  It is hard to follow but with what we have done surely we can do 5 days of anything.  Once I have my strength back I am gonna try it and see if I can't get this last 15 lbs. off before my wedding cruise! Hang in there kiddo....you look great!

UR GETTING MARRIED????????  What an inspiration!!!  I just started seeing a guy that i work with and he is wonderful so far......just scared to death when the ball is gonna drop....

Yep.....met a wonderful guy...actually Jennifer in our group's Dad.  He is wonderful and has taken such good care of me while sick.  I knew about a month into dating him that he was "the one" but it took a little longer to say yes.  We've been together since last July and are going on a cruise to the carribean and getting married on the beach in the Caymans on April 15th.  I can't believe it but know my ex did me a big favor when he walked out... I never knew what I was missing in life until now!!!!

What is the 5 day pouch test? I am having the same problem . Read the post and now I want a peanut butter and banana sandwich. My mind is back to pre surgery and is thinking I was doing good to have a fish sandwish. Need to go to bed to stop my mind ffrom thinking of food now.
