I also tried to friend you but your profile is private. Can you request me?

I feel your pain Lady.  I recommend doing whatever it takes to stop the weight gain right now.  Because that weight can comes back faster than you will re-lose it.  Take it from me. 

Since October 2012 I have re-lost 31 pounds.  I have had many ups and downs. 

This January I said not more fooling around.  I started back weighing myself everyday, eating protein 1st, eliminating processed foods as much as possible slowly but surely and same for carbs and sugar.  Yes it is hard but I am doing it one day at a time.  I have also started back seeking support.  Faithfully sitting in on at least one telephone support group each month.  There are a lot of Back on Track Programs out there too including a Back on Track Group here for free.  Many of them cost money but they are effective if you are ready. 

I have been working on the why's of why I am sabotaging myself and working on emotional eating too.  The surgery did not fix our heads and actions.  I also keep track of every morsel I put in my mouth.  I use myfitnesspal.com to track my calories and exercise and I use them for support too. 

Out of all the things I just said the ONE thing that I think helps me the MOST is MAKING myself step on the scale each and every day no matter what I ate.  I need to see the gains so I can put a stop on binges.  It is the ONE thing that I will remember when I go to eat the next bad bite.  I have been doing this since March 11 and since then I have lost 11 pounds.  I was 368 and now down to 357.  I am in no hurry as long as I am trending down. 

My goal this year is to get under 300 pounds no matter what.  I had went all the way up to 388 and have been yo-yoing since 2010.  But as I write this I know that is over for me!!  I am going down baby.  I don't care how many times I fall down, I am picking myself right back up and NEVER EVER giving up!!  That is my 2nd best time is NEVER GIVE UP and know you can do it.  But stop gaining right now because if you don't you will be sorry.  Once you do that then just find you way and get help if you need it.  Don't be afraid to be honest with YOU and others who can help you. 

Hi Lady Bug!!  Remember me?  I am back and like you still struggling but NEVER giving up!!  We can do this!!  WAVING!!    So nice seeing a familiar face!!  On day at a time and one pound at a time!
