I feel like ranting a little...

This is really bugging me now.... been thinking about it for a long time, but for past few weeks it is really starting to bother me... Why can't I just eat the way I am supposed to????? The tool I was given worked... lost a bunch of weight, and have not gained or lost any weight in over a year... but I am now eating just about the way I used to! ... except the binging quantities are smaller simply because I cannot stuff my face with more... and the missing chunk of intestine must be saving the day... I am eating chocolate, cookies, bread, even donuts... and I always manage to eat enough to me feel like **** then I swear I am an idiot for doing this to myself and swear I will not do it again.... next day I feel better, and guess what... the cycle repeats itself... I gotta tell ya, it sure makes me feel stupid... I don't know how else to describe it... I know better, but do it anyway... that sure sounds dumb to me! I need surgery on my head.. cause that's where the problem really is.... I am searching for that magic spark that will inspire me to eat what I am supposed to.... gotta be something to make me want to follow the program again before it is too late eh... that is, before I start to gain weight... *sigh* Thanks... sometimes just putting these feelings into words can help....

Hmmm yep I definently feel your pain bud. Pain in the arse ain't it?

"Pain in the arse ain't it?" Yep... but it must not be THAT big of a pain in the arse or I would DO something about it! .... I think I remember when I smoked... couple of packs a day... laying in bed one night I could not sleep because of the wheezing when I breathed... next day I quit, and haven't smoked since... loooooong time ago... I keep hoping I will have an "aha" moment like that...

I don't think.....errrr.......I KNOW.....I couldn't have said that better..... My only difference.....I HAVE gained weight. About 20 pounds. I don't know what else to say but.............It SUCKS!! However, I think a lot of people here will say that they are going thru the EXACT same problem..... Let me know if you find a SIMPLE solution (Yea right, huh?)

" Let me know if you find a SIMPLE solution (Yea right, huh?)" I will take even a complicated one about now

Marc.....I'm in the same boat. I've always told people the WLS battle is tougher in the mind than the physical body.

just imagine having to battle more than ONE addiction.. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. " -Benjamin Franklin BUT.. I hear there is a SOLUTION..

Ah different battle but same war?

Try this here: http://www.5daypouchtest.com/index.html In some ways, I know what you mean. I, too, have eaten stuff that is bad and sometimes it even makes me sick. I am going to try that pouchtest thingy to get back on track. I love alla yall and I know how bad it is that I don't post nearly often enough.
