I'm sorry :(  Be good to yourself right now, eh?  Keep reminding yourself that emotional eating will make you feel good for all of 5 minutes and then later you'll feel like dog doo.  It's not worth the short time of gratification.  Hugs.

Thanks Michelle- I thought of your advice and realized taking care of myself doesn't mean junk food anymore. It means healthy protein fuel and working out- feeling lighter already!

I love it!   You are strong! 

My therapist told me to think of myself as a mountain.  The winds and rains and waves and snow crash against it, cover it, blow past it, and yet the mountain stays there, stable and regal.  When anxieties are spinning out of control and I want to eat, I think of myself as this mountain and I find it calms me a great deal.  Suddenly I begin to feel as though "bad **** happens, but I am strong and I am resilient."  That gets me through.  Hang in there!!

So sorry for the stress in your life. The end of a relationship is such a painful thing! Maybe you can replace stress eating for stress......walking??? shopping???? crying???? screaming?????
Bast wishes and prayers to you.

Thanks for the lurve and support! I so need it right now- I'm trying to fill my free time as much as possible so that I don't have to think about it....and going to the gym helps, but it just sucks.

HW:  380
SW:  336
Last week:  258.8
This week:  252.2!!!!!!!!!!!  (-6.6)  I'LL TAKE IT.

I don't have my spreadsheet with me, but I don't think I've had a loss this big since the first month out from surgery.  So I'm a raelly happy camper.  So excited to break that 250 barrier!  Can't wait to buy my reward - a bike rack for my car! 

Congrats to all you losers this week!

Highest Weight - 400
Surgery Weight - 354
Last week - 270.2
Today's Weight - 266.6


Good week for me.  I am happy with this.  I went to my 6 month follow up and all my vits looked good except D.  I was at a 20 which is deficient.  My Dr. told me to take 2 - 1000 IU's per day to get it back up.  Vitamin expert Andrea told me to take 50,000 IU's.  I haven't bought them yet but I think I will take her advice.  She seems to know what she is talking about on this stuff. 

He was happy with my weight loss (83 on his scale, 88 on mine) but said I am going to have to work much harder this next 6 months to get the benefits of my surgery and get down below 200.  Only 66.6 lbs to go to get there.  I think that is my goal weight.  The charts say 170 but I think I would be a stick at 170.  This morning I am wearing some size 18 jeans!!!!  Granted, they are the stretch kind but still.  I was in high school last time I wore this size so I am excited about that.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Start Weight 365

Surgery Weight 326

Last Week 306

Today 303.5

This is the first time I have really posted on this board, just feel like maybe a good thing to commit to sharing my weight loss.

I start real food tomorrow. Have had a couple of episodes where I either ate too fast or try to eat a little too much, the little pain I got reminded me. I was thinking that this would be easier than I thought but when the pouch hurts I am getting the message that I'm not doing things the way I should.

All else is going ok.
