WEIGH-IN OR CHECK IN

Hi Jeane,

I know what you mean about night eating.  I was a night eater and still find myself looking through the frig or the pantry at night.  I started eating an apple or a cup of hot broth which doesn't sound great, but it satisfies that head hunger that we experience.  Check in here every Monday and let me know how you are doing.  Last night I was so tired that I was too sleepy to get up so I lucked out.  Just know that you are not alone.  We all had bad habits (and still do) so you are not alone.  Like my doctor said, he operated on my stomach, not my brain and it's so true.  Hang in there, you will do fine.

Hugs,
Esther

Hi, Esther:

I didn't eat after supper last night, just was tired and went to bed about 9.  I am going to make jello this afternoon to have that for a snack tonight about 8PM.
 
Right now I am about to bundle up and go out for a walk.

Thanks,

Jeane 

That's good Jeane that you are making jello.  I love sugar free Fudgecycles and I keep those in the freezer.  We need good snacks that are just for us.  I get mad when I buy all the sugar free fat free snack foods and my husband eats them all.   Then when I need them, they are gone but he could lose a few pounds so I should be more understanding.

Hugs,
Esther

Hi Annette,

Hope your surgery went well and I am going to post here every Monday because it helps me to weigh myself and have to get on here and admit that I have slipped or brag when I have been good and have lost so hopefully I will get to hear from you at least once a week.  I am below my Doctor's goal but I want to lose 10 more pounds for myself so I am going to try to stay on track this week.  You are doing so great staying down and you have inspired me once again.

Love,
Esther

im gonna dye my hair darker for fall too.

keep fighting that battle, we all do.

hugs, jacki

Jackie:

I have a husband and had made the stovetop dressing for his supper a couple of weeks ago.  It is gone now, and I won't be making it again very soon.

I have to admit I am scared this isn't going to work for me.

Jeane

yes jeane this can work for you

however, you do need to sit down and think about how you can help yourself do this

i have a husband too and he surely does not eat the same as me.  you need to commit yourself to a new way of thinking.

attend a support group if there is one near you.  post here as you have done for support from all of us.

see a nutritionist if your doctor has one available or if not there are online sites that can help you with your post surgery nutrition.

please dont let yourself be defeated this early out.  please reach out and everyone here will help for sure.

hugs, jacki

Hi, Jackie:

I am trying to do this, as you know it is difficult.

I am attending a support group at the hospital Thursday night and also one OH group nearby on Saturday.  

I am trying to do it one day at a time.  So far today things are fine (and really were yesterday too). 
I am  getting ready to head out for my walk now.  

I won't let this defeat me. And I won't give up!

Jeane 

thats great

i just got home from work and took a walk and now im feeling better

keep your spirits up and stay in touch

hugs, jacki

Hi, Jacki:

Another day without night time eating.  I had a protein shake left after my meeting tonight and have had it and feel satisfied.  It is almost 9PM and I will go to bed soon.

Thanks for your support!

Jeane
