New to here

I had my surgery in 2004 and went through a separation in 2005.  I have been spiraling out of control for the last couple of years.  Over the last several months I have started to gain back some of the weight, I can't go through the weight problems again.  I had my first back surgery 6 months before having a gastric bypass.  I need some help!

(hugs) are you a part of a support group?

I am struggling with not reaching goal, due to nibbling and not using my coping skills.  I plan to do the 5 day pouch test, which I posted about earlier this week.  It is recommended for folks like us to get us back on track, and get rid of the carbs for a few days and get back to basics.  Other things I need to implement are food journaling, daily exercise, and using my coping skills to deal with the temptation to eat.   I am in psychotherapy, which helps me tremendously.  There I learn what thinking patterns contribute to my negative eating behaviors, as well as to identify triggers.  I also learn and explore coping strategies. I used to go to Overeaters Anonymous for help with my eating.  I would go back, but am busy attending AA meetings, because they are my priority.   I hope you will post here some more and become part of the group. Hugs, Trish
