I'm stuffing my face and I cant stop!!!
Ok so I finished my 6 months of supervised diet (WW online) and I lost about 40lbs....that was about 3 months ago and I was supposed to turn in my paperwork to start the classes towards getting the surgery 3 months ago I have been dragging my feel I stopped coming to this website when previously I had read it everyday. And my eating has been so out of control...not just bad foods insane amounts of bad foods. Fast food like its goin out of style. I have been feeling so helpless and I really need to get back on track I am ready to make a change and am making a commitment to turning in my paperwork by friday no matter what!!!! No excuses! Thanks for bearing with me I just needed to put it out in the universe to make it real gotta confess ya know?
I know just how you're feeling, Marissa! Go right out to Barnes and Noble bookstore in the morning and buy "The Dieter's Diary" by Corinne Netzer. Tell yourself,"I am going to write down everything I eat and drink BEFORE I eat it, no matter what!" and then do it.
Try it for three days. You will be AMAZED at how your sense of control will return to you! I swear by using a diet journal--it is a tool I will probably turn to time and again throughout my life. Plus, my doctor said that people who used a diet journal for the first year after surgery had better weight loss than folks who didn't.
Keeping track of what goes in your mouth gives you a sense of being in charge. I can have anything I want. I just have to write it down and be accountable for it. Good luc****ep us posted!

You dont have to buy any books. Go to http://www.sparkpeople.com You can log in all your workouts and food intake including water. Its a great website. Let me know what you think and we can be friends on the site and help eachother lose weight. I have not had the surgery but the site really helps me a lot
The only problem I have with the online diet journals (whether it's Sparkpeople, FitDay, or Weigh****chers) is that to fill them out, you have to be sitting down, typing it all in, every time you eat.
I like being able to carry my little journal around in my purse, wherever I go, so it is always accessible. We need to be proactive and know not only how much we are eating, but how many calories it contains, and whether our eating is in response to a stressful situation. Journaling helps me do this. And it makes a huge difference in successful weight loss and maintenance--research bears this out.
You don't have to buy a fancy diet journal if you don't have the bucks--in this economy, we ALL know what it's like to have to watch every purchase--it's just what I have found, that I like. It has a handy food index in the back as well. I also have used those speckled black-and-white essay books you can get at the supermarket for $2 a piece, along with a paperback calorie reference book I got for $6.99.

Hi There, this is the first time for me to this forum, but it looks like a place I need to be too. I've been on lyrica for pain in my leg since last September. The doctor has cut me back but I'm finding I want to snack all the time. Although I find I'm reaaching for food just because it's there and I don't really need it. I too tried writing on the computer food diary's which are great and I love these programs, but found I eat first then need to get the computer to log the food. I think it's a good thought to "wrtie first" then "eat". I think I'll give this a whirl.
I wonder if I'm eating because the med's are making me snacking or is it just a bad head hunger................ I think I need to get it out.............. man I'm scared I don't want to put the weight back on. I've put 10 lbs back on over the last year and I keep relating it to the meds........ Thanks for listening.
