Getting It Together....

Really working hard, and making progress.......

Glad to say I'm stringing more and more "good days" together again, and the scale is moving down again.

It hasn't been easy.  It's an ongoing battle.  I was so optimistic in the beginning....weight was dropping steadily.  Then I guess I got complacent.  Lots of NSVs, feeling better, feeling good. Started taking things for granted.  Trouble started a few months ago...decided to add low carb pita bread and have sandwiches .... initially I kept my carb numbers down......then started going over - one day, then two..... Did not gain weight -- in fact when I went to the Weight Center two weeks ago, I had lost 10 pounds.  But I know if I stuck to the program it would have been 20 - 25 pounds. I've been trying to stay on track all along, and I'm finally back on track.  I've eliminated the pita bread....no more sandwiches, no more cheez-its, no more popcorn.  

I can't mess around - I've got to lose 60-70 more pounds to reach my goal.  My one year surgiversary was 5/14, and I don't have much time left in the "honeymoon stage" and I need to make the most of it.

Never give up.  Never give up.  Never give up.    It's a life-long battle.  We're never "cured". Wi**** was different, but it's not.  Have to accept that fact, and continue on.

Coming here daily helps so much -- loads of information and support.  Thanks Everyone!

Way to go Mary Gee!

Sounds like you are doing great! Feels good to be back on track!

good job! We can do this! Love the positive vibe! 

I just replied to a later post and then here you are.....ON TRACK already!!  YEA YOU!  

Giving up the carbs you have is a big accomplishment.  I could and HAVE lived on carbs.  To keep my carbs in check, especially the sugary, junky ones, I remember that eating carbs is really a vicious cycle.  The more we eat, the more we want and the harder they are to give up and get out of that cycle.  

I'm very glad you joined our group.  I'm really like your posts such as Never give up in this one.  It is so true and you writing it is a wonderful reminder.

Big kudos to you for being on track!
