What I do-
Plan the night before for the next day what I am eating and what my exercise will be.
Weigh myself daily and immediately put in corrections if it deviates by more than a couple of
pounds.
Avoid simple carbs like the plague except for a small treat now and then.
Protein protein protein.
Run five miles a time 5 days a week.
Hold myself accountable to my husband and my best friend- they check in how I'm doing.
Make sure I follow through no matter what I feel like or what my head is telling me.

You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay
Yes I Know, I have bad days as much as good days.I still have the same attitude about my wls...I was wondering if someone would respond , telling me they feel they keep on track by coming to OH every single day , I don't have time to come to OH everyday like i use to early P.O. guess I'm stronger than even 'I' thought I was.. :)

I don'****ch fat at all. If I'm going to have something I usually have full fat sour cream, real butter, etc. I don't really watch carbs except that most of my carbs are from vegetables and dairy. I usually eat every 2 or 3 hours to keep my metabolism going. I'm not really hungry during the day so it seems I do most of my eating in the evening, after dinner. I weigh myself daily. So far I have had a gain of about 3 or 4 lbs but still below where I want to be so not too worried about it. That gain has been since about Sept. The plan so far is to have an upper limit of where I would want my weight to be and not go over that. The problem is I haven't quite figured out what I want that limit to be. I don't feel I look healthy at my present weight so I guess I am waiting until I get more positive feedback about where I am at and then I will work at staying there.
WLS 10/28/2002 Revision 7/23/2010
High Weight (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.
my rules:
-very low carbs, low sugar, 5-7 meals a day
-fat keeps my body happy. (bacon, half and half, butter), but I don't eat a lot - till dump on too much fat)
- nuts and nut butter, seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc)
- exercise - moderate - not too much not too little (too much and my sugar crashes - not worth)
- weigh maybe 1 x a week... maybe not.
- check by clothes size... and the fat on my back (when it shows - I get back on my diet)
- no alcohol (that what caused my weight gain)
- cooking healthy foods..
