I eat all the time!
Hello my friends! Ok here we can be honest! I try telling my friends & family that I have gained 5 lbs but they just laugh at me! Well from my all time low of 135lbs last year I have gained 9 lbs! Hay these pounds creep up, Don't they! Since my wls 2.5 yrs ago I have never wrote down what I eat! Starting Monday I am making a promise I am going to keep track! I am going to have to beg my Darling boyfriend not to make fun of me keeping track and writing it down! He hates it when I call him "Darling" ha ha Whats he want me to say my macho boyfriend! ha ha NOT! I know I eat all day long, snack, snack ect.. I love triscits with swiss cheese! Yes I also eat chips and drink about 1 diet soda a day. I do not exercise! Heres a funny one! My daughter came to use our tread mill, she left her open bottle of water in the holder. My boyfriend saw it and thought I had been exercising! Well I went and washed the treadmill down and threw the water away, then made the comment about how dirty it was, has not been touched in 1 yr! He knew I would not get on it, looking at all the dust ect... He said he thought it was strange that I was walking on it without dusting it off! Guess now that the cob webbs are off I will have to walk on it! Kendall & I walked 4 miles a few weeks ago around town ect.. he complained the whole time! The next night we walked late at night in the cemetary! I got sick and had a high fever the next day, it ended up being a bladder infection! I believe it was the haunted ghost, mad at me for being in there cemetary! Ok I will be checking in with you all! I do not see myself as thin! I wear mostly size 6's! My BMI now says I am over weight at 145lbs, 5'3. I need to lose about 5 lbs to be normal! My family would laugh at that! See ya all lighter! X x Cyndi
Cyndi--It is great to see you back visiting. It is even good to see you posting honestly about your concerns. I don't think I have ever seen you post something even the slightest bit negative--it makes me feel a little more normal. You are the same time out of surgery as me-actually 1 day different. I have read often of the 2 year weight gain. I, myself, gained 12 pounds and it freaked me out. It really is a scary thing. I've been working like mad to get rid of it.
I think you have hit the nail on the head when you mention--exercise and snacking. I am a firm believer that those two things are the key to successfully maintaining weight loss.
I don't think size 6 is big at all. I do know where you are coming form about the "normal" bmi though. That has been my goal all along and I came close, but haven't made it yet. I am working at it.
Definitely come back and check in as we are all in this together. We definitely won't laugh at you here. Thanks lots for checking in.
Hi Cyndi-
You sure sound like a light-weight compared to me. A size 6? Congratulations. I had open RNY 11-20-01. Years later I am so far from my "goal", which is where you are now - 145 (I am 5'2"). I do not even think I weighed that at birth. (Thank God my mom is not able to know that.)
I believe I came to my senses the beginning of August. Lost 20# since. Altho, I have been practically starving myself.
I just recently found out about ObesityHelp.com and hope I get the help I have been looking for.
A little word of advice (or not). I have arthritis (right should replaced because of that) and am not able to exercise the way I would like to. I have an exercise bike and believe it or not, just stretching my right arm to reach the handlebar puts me into a lot of pain. My replacement failed and have no use of that shoulder. I need to get out to walk. There is a beautiful park across the street from me and I have not gone walking there. (Do not want to be stared at.)
You are looking at 5#, for me that is a drop in the ocean. For you it seems an eternity away. Do not give up. DO NOT LET FOOD CONTROL YOU. Do not live to eat, but eat to live. YOU BE IN CONTROL.
