Kym,            Hi I'm not form the area jus brozing around this mornign i found u're post interested b/c for me to yours its  been  a couple wks i've been battling same thing It;d start jus few chips then lead to cookies ,diet pop cravings pepsi that is , candy  and etc and i keep telling myself I DIDN'T GO THROUGH ALL THIS HARD WORK TO FAIL sorry on caps  b/c my biggest fear going bk to what i was  and i don't want that . but i wasn't sure if it was jus a phase or not  But wbefore when i use to get stress food was my comforting  and i have been stressed out i 've been at my job 3 yrs and  jus got my first layoff may 29th suppoose to last intill july  and i'm not happy bout it i walk  2 to 3 miles or more a day sometimes i bike ride 5 miles i constantly got to stay busy  or i find myself nit picking through out the day . I have lost 83 lbs  my yr Anniversary was up June 6th  I haven't weighed in i 'm going to weigh in tomm  morning  thats another thing i hate the scales i see how pple weigh in everyday once a week since my surgery  i'm lucky every month to 2 months i weigh myself  I haven't gained anything  at all which is good i hope cont but these  cravings i get scare me

I'm also battling another thing called mental stage pt some pple after surgery go through  everytime i look in the mirror i see  the old me and it depresses me  i get all therse compliments bout how good i look skinny and etc  half the time most time i say thank you  but i'm still Fat   its like girl u jus lost 83lbs  your not fat but when i look in the mirror alot times i see my oldself. Have u or anyone else also gone through that mental stage? well I want to say good luck  to you Kym I have Faith in you  i think it was jus a stage  and I do believve at one pt all of us have or will in time go through this stage of  binging  mistake me if thats not the word on carbs  Have a great day !!!!
