Struggles

Wow, I came to this Grads board to see if there was anyone else out there struggling like I am. So many of these posts could have been written by me. My problem foods are any kind of crackers and Baked Lays. A few would be fine but a whole bag or box in a day or two???? I had my 18 month appointment yesterday and talked to my surgeon about my struggles. She suggested I try to find others who are or have gone through the same struggles. I am seeing a therapist, I did the masteringfoods.com program and now I am listening to the Dr. Phil book on weight loss. Something has got to help me through this!!! I feel like such a failure because I did not come close to my goal before I stopped losing and started gaining. I have not even found out what it is like to weigh less than 200 pounds. Some good suggestions have come up to. I really appreciate them. I will work at planning my meals and snacks ahead of time and stick to the plan. I know I need to stop the negative self talk to myself. It's just so hard to stop it. Thanks for starting this thread. Carolyn
