What the hell?

A lot of our long term post-ops are gaining/have gained a lot of weight back (not casting stones, I'm up some, too) and it ain't even cute.


What's going on?  Anybody?


Let's support each other like we use to.

I admit ...I've just been too lazy to get off my butt! I only have 20lbs to lose but you would think I would get motivated to get it off and KEEP it off!

I REALLY need to get back on track although I really don't feel like it physically....I guess I just gotta do what I don't wanna do and that's get back on track mentally & physically!

I MUST try and do better for the sake of my health!

Hey, Lil Sis

I feel you.  You gotta do it for your health and for your beautiful baby boy. 

Let's do it together.

I'm game!!!!

Write up a plan for us.  When do we start?

For ME - I know I am struggling with emotional issues (MANY life changes in the past 12 months)  and getting back on track and in line with exercising - I started back to the gym in Dec - and have been tracking hardcore.

I still struggle with drinking heavily and snacking like a cow, too.

Mack, I struggle emotionally as well and I have since day 1.  Finding that balance is critical to our long-term success (in all areas).

I always appreciate your honesty.  Denial is a *****

Any tricks to alleviating the snacking? I find myself waking up at 2 a.m. and heading straight for the kitchen. If I didn't exercise, I KNOW that I would be back up to 300 lbs.

the snacking is literally a battle.  I take sleeping pills to KNOCK ME OUT so I stay down and don't get up at 2......... yea, I said that ish - they are zero calorie, so kiss my azz to anybody with a problem with that! LOL

Giving up the liquor has been interestingly difficult.  Had a minor 'slipback' week before last, but once I finished that bottle, I didn't 'reup' LOL - but it was a 1.75 liter bottle....   

Right now, I'm forcing myself to snack in the mornings on fruit and peanut butter crackers and only ONE treat PER DAY in the afternoon or later at home - but ONLY ONE! lol

I'm tryin to put my all in before my Vegas vacation - I know I will lose when I am there - I eat steak, skrimps (yep - skrimps) and roasted veggies ALLL DAY and night - I lost 10 lbs last time, all that walking and good eating - carbs don't even look tasty next to a nice filet.....

You just reminded me of the Lunesta that I have in the cabinet.  I will be taking one tonight.

Anybody with a problem with that can kiss both our azzes.

My addiction is cookies.  I can't eat just one.....it's better that I not buy them at all.

hey mm...when you goin to vegas?  i take sleeping pills too so i can stay sleep and not get up to eat...it works alot of the times...i get up refreshed and rested and have time to exercise...
