Okay, here's the deal...I know I can do this, just didn't fully acknowledge how many bad habits I had allowed to creep back into my life. I need to get back on track!

I had RNY WLS on 11/15/11, loosing 100 lbs in my first 14 months. Since then, I've slowly regained about 10 lbs. Not where I want to be - obviously. Can't say I ever had a number "goal" but instead aspired for "the moment". You know, the moment when you look in the mirror and feel great. Well, that moment never really happened for me. I'm currently 165 lbs but feel like I'm a big fat faliure. I've allowed the stress of my job to take over, stopped working out, started eating carbs and some sweets and if I'm really honest, I'm simply snacking way too much. My ca

I think the rest of your message was cut off but you have taken the first step and admitted your bad habits. I wished I had caught mine at 10 lbs but at the time that seem like such a little amount until you fast forward and it is 70 lbs. Get the carbs under control, stop drinking with your meals (this is usually the first indicator of regain) up your protein and watch your calorie intake. You can get those pounds back off in no time at all. Start journaling your food daily to see what you are actually consumming. It will probably surprise you that you are eating that much. Take a walk if weather is permitting just to make you feel good about yourself. You are a winner and you can be successful at this too!

I too wish I would have gotten back on track at 10lbs. and not 30, but I am happy to say that it's not 30lbs. anymore, because thanks to OH and my friends here, I working on getting the regain & then some off!! You can do it, put your mind to it.
but for now, one pound at a time!
