I like your post!  You never fail as long as you keep getting up and trying again is a phrase I'm going to remember.  I'm up with you.

It is a a goal you can achieve.  Just coming back to OH and BOTT, you're closer to that goal.  I hope you'll post updates.

Thanks for the inspirational phrase.

Hi everyone!

Here I go again. I recently read something (bariatriceating.com) that somehow sunk in. I can’t quote exactly but the gist is you never really fail as long as you keep getting up and trying again. I’m up. AGAIN.

I felt good this morning, mentally. I like this feeling. My day went well until after dinner. Then there was the last piece of pumpkin pie calling me from the kitchen. I still feel mentally good so will be OK in the morning.

Tonight when I decided to jump back on OH I was entering my weight and goal again. I did the math backwards and thought I had gained the amount I still have lost. I nearly had a stroke. (65lbs vs 30lbs) Wow wake up call!! I won’t even try to describe how I felt. Then when I realized it was the other way around It was an achievable goal. So here goes!

Here is the damage for today.

 Only 40 grams of protein though. Calories not too bad but I need to focus on the protein. Tomorrow I plan to work more protein shakes in. Here is looking forward to a great eating day tomorrow.

Calories 873

Carbs 104

Protein 40

B-oatmeal and blueberries

L-Chicken and kale

D-Turkey burger and broccoli  

S-Craving fruit, but all I have is blueberries ?

It doesn't matter which habit you start with.  It just matters that you start.  I'd say whatever one is the easiest and most doable to take on.  

As an example, if you're grazing all day, start small.  Only allow yourself to graze for a certain period of the day and build momentum from there.  

If you decide to move forward and revise to a DS, go for it.  There are many, many members that have a DS and are very happy with it, and have had successful results.  Check out the DS message board for information and support.  If the DS had been an option for me, I would have seriously considered it for myself.

You bet you are not alone..  Did you see the post I did where I found out it was the jeans gremlins that were sneaking in our closet at night and sewing out jeans to a smaller size?  LOL
