Still kind of stuck....
Hi folks,
I'm noticing my weight hasn't really moved in months. I'm still about 12 pounds from my surgeons' goal. I've realized I stopped TRYING too aroudn the same time. No exercise, some bad eating habits, and pushing the envelope of good sense, for sure. I know I'm comfy right now, and am really petrified that I'll start gaining. I'm still down around 80 or so pounds but worry that won't last. It can't....if I don't get a handle on this I'm in trouble down the road and I know it!
I DO bring good stuff to work with me, protein drinks and soy chips, and I make tood choices for hte most part. My therapist says it's a lapse, but not a relapse. I'm not so sure I agree with that. Either way, I'm trying to watch things. Since I'm not exercising, it's no wonder my weight isn't moving, but I cannot find the motivation to get off my butt. I'll try and walk again tonight and set some priorities for myself. Putting myself first isn' t easy....

Hi Marie,
I empathize because I have been stuck for over a year. Since I relapsed on the alcohol, the food has been quirky. I already gained back 30, which makes my goal weight 50 pounds away. Discouraged is not a powerful enough word for how I feel about it all.
I just keep plugging away, one day at a time. If I did more self-soothing, I would probably be more successful.
Don't give up.
Hugs,
trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
