Support and Encouragement
Hello all,
Hope you all are doing well. I am having some difficulty staying on task and sticking to the plan. I am exercising faithfully, at least 4-5 times a day and somedays twice a day. I can't shake my desire for sweets. I love them and really want to stop snacking on them. I just don't want to screw up the positive changes that I have made. Any help or suggestions would be great. I need to just to stop the madness. Thanks.

To be honest.....I think when the holiday'**** we ALL have problems with one of the holiday foods or another. Are you logging your food intake? If not go to Dailyplate.com and start logging and measuring your food. No matter which WLS you had done it is ALL about choices that we make and also the amount of food that we take in. Many of us eat mindlessly and don't think it counts when no one sees us or even if we just have a bite. It all counts in the end. Also measure your food and I am sure if you do this along with daily exercise you will be successful. Hope this makes sense and will help enourage you.

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Thanks so much Vivian. I just came back from back to back classes at my gym(2hours) workout. I ate my cup of turkey chili, downed 4 sheets of graham crackers. I am full and miserable now. I don't know what it is. I use my fitness pal.com to log my food. I am going to loook at the website you mentioned. Again, thanks.
Purple39lady,
When I find myself "out of control", I "reset" myself by getting BACK TO THE BASICS.
What you need to do is pretend you just had the operation and do a few days (1 week) of liquids, then a few days (1 week) of soft foods, then back regular foods. What you are actually doing is purging/detoxifying your body of those “bad" foods that can/will cause cravings.
Give it a try, and see what happens
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom, I do that too, but not for a whole week..I do it as though it is after a fill...2 days liquid two days pureed, two days soft then back to regular food...that was on the advice of MY nutritionist, and I KNOW all of them are gonna be a bit different so I just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth..for what it was worth. Have a great day everyone!!

Kim, thanks so much for your feedback. I saw my doc today, I gained 1/2 lb, but he looked over my chart and I lost alot of weight the previous month. I have increased my time in the gym and loving every minute of it. I also attended a support group this morning before my appointment so that helped a lot as well.
