I started at 240.  Had RNY in 2004.  Got down to 170.  Now back to 210.  Know that I started eating only carbs and sweets.  I totally fell off the wagon and splat onto the ground and failed to get back up (yet).

I moved from WI to IL.  I loved walking in WI.  Hate walking in IL.  Trying to find other ways to exercise but I'm so embarrassed about my weight and how I look.

Where did you start to get BOT?

How did you start to get BOT?

What did you do with the feelings about failure?

Looking for your wisdom and guidance.  Desperate.

Hopefully, pigs won't have to fly before I get this back under control (see my user name)

it is not baking - and it really takes close to no time... check the 5 min low carb muffin in a cup recipes..

They used to be "life saver for me":

mix egg and some protein powder with sweeteners and some fat in a "large mug" Microwave on high - watch as things raise up... and turn it off when it stops... take it out- allow to cool.. eat... 

Some are elaborate - others- very simple.

I would mix the following: 1 egg, 1/2 tbs of flax meal, 1 tsp of oil...(any oil) 1 tbs of milk (I used almond) pinch of salt- pepper -caraway.. . pinch of baking powder. Mix very well.. nuke for 1-3 min (depends how dry you want i, cup size, etc) . I used to use that as "bread". Or i would add sweetener , cocoa,and have a "chocolate cake..". 

for me - it is pork rinds and no sugar add salsa or some other type of a dip - like good yogurt tzatziki.. (you could probably add some protein powder to it)

I make avocado mousse... or I bake "dessert like" breads using things like flax meal , protein, powder,  butternut squash, etc instead of flour... 

I have a simple recipe : almond butter, eggs, protein powder mixed with shredded coconut or flax meal. 

I make keto-paleo "breads" and "cookies" ... 

check egg face blog, or nom nom paleo blog.

I also make waffles...again - using some eggs, add fat and add protein powder...or shredded coconut..

I do intuitive cooking - just toss things together until they look and smell right... make it.. I make a batch - portion and freeze. 

I made some 'sweet potato brownies" - but I used butternut squash, added eggs and protein powder..

they are low net carb. They turn more like a dense chocolate cake... still not too bad... when I wa losing weight - i used more of things like psyllium husks and flax meal.. that provided the texture and fiber but it was supper low net carbs..

Looks like there will be a very good chance I will be snowed in today. Husband went grocery shopping for us the other day (thank goodness, because I have been not so great about doing it during this cold spell). So I am hoping to get a few meals made up and put into freezer for days like I had last week when I gave in/came close to getting unhealthy fast food due to nothing to eat in house! I have thought about and even tried to 'meal prep' in the past and just can't seem to get over the feeling of eating left overs. But think if I freeze the meals maybe I won't get that feeling. Hope. Plus meals will last longer in freezer. So I don't have to eat the same meal several days in a row or else it goes to waste type of pressure I feel with meal prep.

Well it's weigh in day again. We shall see how much the pizza from the other night effected me. I'll guess right now, I'll have no loss. I feel like I really am eating more of a maintenance type of eating. I am pretty full when I am done with meals and typically when I'm trying to drop weight I finish my meals still a little hungry. So it may come to having to cut back my amounts of food. Not worrying too much about it just yet since so far I have been still losing.
