Hello!!!
Okay I am going to save this one to my favorites list. This could be interesting.
I wanted to say hello I am new to the board. I am almost 16 months out and down 161 lbs. My goal weight was 145 and I am between that and 143.
Now my struggle is maintaining this. Lately I am grazing. More so now then ever before. I cant believe what the deal is. Is it my mind state saying oh I am at goal time for me to stop or what. I am hating this cuz I actually could still loose a few lbs but I am really happy where I am at. Just scared to death to gain it back.
I had my TT in June and going in for a revision in a few weeks. I just dont want to sabatoge myself. I am really just venting I guess cuz I know all the right things to do... I am just not doing them.
WHY!!!!!!!

I'm Dedee...I'm going on 2 years out---YIPPEEE...I have been at goal since like forever 
Really before a year out and still losing...DUH 
My body is just like my mind 
Let me get off your thread hijacking it 
Hi there,
I hear ya girlfriend.....I feel the same way! From what my doctor tells us through our group sessions and emails we just have to keep doing what we're doing and NEVER let ourselves go back to those old habits, like snacking and grazing all day. They tell us those are old habits that are deeply ingrained in our heads and we have to fight not going back to our old ways. My doctor tells us to eat only 3 times a day and never snack in between. I don't always follow those rules but I try. I was thinking yesterday about why I was a success at this thing and the one thing I came up with was exercise. I like to eat and still enjoy food, just smaller amounts and somedays I feel like I eat alot. But then I add up calories in my head and realize how many I've eaten and then subtract how many I burned off that day exercising, and I know I'm ok. I guess some days our bodies really do need more calories.
I'm 14 months out and have lost 151 pounds and have been told by several doctors that I'm lean and probably won't lose anymore because there's no fat left to lose. That's ok with me. I know I'll lose more when I have a tt and thigh lift in Oct. I'm wearing size 2's and 4's now and won't be able to find clothes if I get much smaller, so I'm fine now at 125 pounds.
One thing I've learned from the short time I've been on this board is that we ALL seem to sturggle with the food issues. Just because we're thin now we still have the disease of OBESITY, and always will. We're just in remission now and we need to always remember that, or else we will eat our way back to being fat again. WLS doesn't make the food issues go away.
Good luck to you,

Hey Terry,
I couldnt have said it better myself. Obesity is still a part of my life, thats for sure. And learning to live with it is becoming a reality more so now than ever before since I am now at goal. Its not time for me to maintain and that is where alot of work comes to play.
I have my faithful membership to LA Fitness and am sad to say I dont take advantage of it. Why?????? I should. Its around the corner, Its very nice brand new and the people are nice. I can listen to my headphones and zone out. So why dont I go? Hmmm no answer to that yet still working on it. But there is always an excuse. Never justified. Still working on that one
