Post-ops who have re-gained weight!
No structured plan...just work on eliminating bad habits that you have picked up.
*for me* - only eat cookies once per month.
*for me* - increase the intensity and duration of exercise
*for me* - go back to drinking one gallon of water per day
*for me* - STOP late night/all night munching
I've downloaded an app on my phone to record my exercise, I've signed up for weigh****chers on-line, I have an accountability partner (thanks, beautiful), and I used a bar of soap and wrote "NO EXCUSES" on my bathroom mirror! .. (as a constant reminder - since I usually wake up and pee before heading to the kitchen).
LET'S DO THIS!!

Although I've gained 20 pounds I believe this is where I can comfortably maintain, when I am thinner it takes too much effort such as exercising 5 days per weeks, right now I eat sweets daily "I am pre-menopausal" so I crave sweets so to off set my new addiction which has conributed to my weight gain and I am so busy also, I made a compromise to help stabilize my weight to walk at least 2-3 times per week and eat healthy veggies and lean meats...but I can't stop my sweets for some reason...I guess I have not reached that critical point yet...meaning I can still wear my size 10 dresses...so I am happy that I am maintaining with little to no effort at his point in my journey.....
That doesn't work for me AT ALL. I don't like trying to run and my legs feel too heavy to move. I don't like being winded when I walk up stairs. I like my clothes to fit very nicely on my frame. I could go on and on, but I think that you get what I'm saying.
This ain't the 'I'm happy where I'm at' thread! lol There are quite a few vets struggling with regain right now and we're committing to getting ourselves back in line because where we are now ain't where we wanna be.
Bully for you for being happy with your 20 - I ain't and neither are a WHOLE lotta other mofos on here - so while we go thru this time to get back on our wagons, can you please keep your happy with an extra 20 self on your own thread please??????
And to answer your question from there - you can post your happiness, no problem - notice I am NOT responding on your thread - but if you bring all that sunshine and '20 extra looks great on me!' over in the 'I'm fat an upset about it' thread.......... you're going to get squared off on.
So THIS fat cow ain't feelin you at all - to you for the effortless maintenance life, I would applaud more, but I got exercising, calorie counting and praying to the weight loss God to do.......
Damn, Damn, Damn (in my best Florida voice)
Change is a Process Not an Event
I had to sign out and re-read the "dumb azz" comment to figure out what you and Cookie were talking about. I would take looking "anorexic" again anyday than to began the early stages of becoming another "Rolly Polly". If your happy being "overweight" than why even have surgery??
You can quote me if you like...

**running, then roll dive into the car** suicide doors dawg!!!! LMAOOOOOOOO
And rolly polly is NOT a good look..... period. I REFUSE to go back. Mofo told me last night that I lost weight, but I'm still 'thick'........ that right there told me that I am NOT where I need to be.... mofos use to call me 'slim' or 'skinty'........
Inquiry minds what to know.... when praying to to the weight loss God should I get down on my knees or look in the mirror while butterball naked? hummmmmmmmmm???????
