V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
I ask the questions that reflect my current weakness. I've gone from tracking everything right down to artificial swetener packets to rough totals. I can make the latter work but the former is better. I'm maintining without the details and, dare I say it, even slipping into a few items a little more easily. However, it is too easy for calories to creep up slowly.
I spent 42 days pushing myself to re committ to good habits that it would be so much easier to discard. This is one area I have been consistent with since a month or so post op. Six weeks of being literaly too involved to track forced me to improvise. Now I know I can improvise as needed. Time to get back on point and do things right.

Glad u r back. I'm doin but not as well as necessary. Not proud of myself this week. No exercising at all. Just Stressed. Planning to start first of the week, gonna whine a few more days then back in the saddle again. Seems I can do very good for about a month then start slacking. Still gotta get test done and go from there. Here's what I ate today

Atkins is not for everyone. Plus not everyone needs to restrict carbs so severely to loose and maintain. Have you checked out the zone or south beach diets? They limit carbs but not nearly as strictly as atkins.
No need to buy the books since there are so many sites that will explain the basics for free. This way you have a clue before pumping any more $$$ into the diet industry. Is your surgeon's nutritionist of any help?
My cardiologist reccomends a cross between atkins and south beach. For me this boarders on too high a carb count but I make it work. You will find what works for you. Its just a pain in the @$$ if trial and re-trial.

Don't we all. Use to say if I could just see myself smaller. When I got so very close to my goal weight. I couldn't even recognize it. My promise to myself now is that when I reach those numbers this time. I will recognize!

Are you still EFSing? What you need is a candy substitute. Something to give you flavor without the bad stuff and excess calories.
One sweet fix is sf angel food cake and a couple tbsp sf jam. Just 80 cal total for a generous serving (1/6 tube cake). For salt fixes its air popped popcorn 120 cal for 5 cups; or, Skinnypop 135 cal for 3.5 cups.
I don't even pretend I can live without my fixes. You have gotta find your right safe fix girl. You can and you will be thin.
