I did ok this weekend. Water issues over the weekend, and a few slip ups. I really wanted to emotionally eat. I had a rough weekend on that aspect. I forgot to look at my book yesterday until last night and realized that it was about emotional eating...LOL. I am going to work on it today as well.
I did decide after this weekend that I may go back through the book again, but really taking my time on the days that I feel I need to work on. Originally I was just going to redo the days "I" thought was necessary, but I had a revelation this weekend, that I need to get it this time, so I am successful at losing, and later at maintaining.

Thanks. I have started counting my calories. That is one of the reasons I got the book from the library because this will push me to read.

I am at the Airport on my way home, have not had a chance in the past 4 days to jump on the scale on a daily basis and to record only on Monday. I will be weighing myself in the morning and regardless of what the scales say my pants are very very loose this morning, and to me that is a better indicator of how my week went
. I must say I am proud of myself for maintaining my food plan, I just drank large amounts of water in place of eating. I practiced not eating telling myself it was not an emergency and I'd be able to eat in couple hours.I must say I m extremely happy I practiced what I have been learning over the past 3 weeks. Girl I had my ammo. ready
, my advantages and response cards my snacks my practices, I did talk a lot to myself, I didn't want the other folks in the conference to think I was crazy lol so I did it in my head. But what the hell who cares i am on a mission to get healthy lose weight and I have no choice this is what I really want.Melva
Molly, I know you can lose that 50 pounds all you need is a RAGING determination, some support and encouragement. We here at BDS are here for you, ., we have all been were you are. We want to see you succeed because when you succeed it gives us hope that we can succeed as well.
I suggest that you start the BDS book right away, don’t skip any days or any of her suggestions. I believe by working the book religiously you are being faithful to yourself and to your goals…after all, have we not all cheated ourselves long enough? Here is what I suggest, start today by journaling your food and counting calories on a daily basis. Some people don‘t like to count calories but even if you do it for a few weeks it will show you exactly what you are doing right or wrong. Record every thing you put in your mouth, when you do this you will be amazed at the number of calories that is being consumed. When planning your meals and this will come later in the book, be sure you add in the things that you can not live without, so that they are included in the calories. I thought my calories were about 800-900 a day but when I started to count the calories in the hard SF candy’s, the chips, the junk, the cream in my coffee, that piece of cheese and all the other little things I was amazed to see that my 900 calories was more like 2,300 some days. Personally accountability is a big thing for me this is why I record my weight and post it here every day. I have been considering posting my daily intake on a thread here. I consider BDS to be a safe place. I also use Fitday.com

Get Ready To Weigh In
Day 35 this is the last day of the fourth week, congratulations for making it this far!!
Remember when you weigh in, it is just information. If you have only lost ½ pound celebrate that ½ pound. Some time the loss is not seen in the numbers on the scale but it is seen in inches which is by far a accurate number.
The book suggests carrying a small version on your weight graph with you in your wallet or purse on a small business card, I think that is a great idea and one that I am gong to use
My official weigh and graph day is Fridays.

I have gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially. I joined this group hoping to get back on track. I never reached my goal of 200 pounds. I am thinking about a revision surgery but would like to avoid it. I met with my surgeon this week. I want to lose 50 pounds at least and get my thinking in gear before I have a 2nd surgery. my goal in the next coming weeks is to stop grazing, stop gaining weight & do 20 min+ of exercise every day. My lowest weight after surgery was 302, and then I went up to 311, next year 321, last year 338 and this year Jan 2010 372 and to date 382.
I use to exercise on average 5 to 6 times a 45 to 75 min each session and weights at health club and at home with Leslie Sasone DVD's. I was very active and one reason for my gains over time I am less committed to my workouts. So far in January I am exercising 3 to 4 times a week 30 to 45 min sessions with walking away the pounds DVDS. I am ashamed to go back to health club since I have gained 50 pounds since the last time I was there--which was February 2009.
2009 my knee gave out and did not exercise for 2 months last year and I have not been able to get back on track since. Last year I considered lap-band and said no I don't need it. I do not think I am a failure I just need a readjustment and not sure how to get mind back in focus with my goals.
My biggest down fall is my addiction to and love affair with food. Surgery can not fix this so I have to fix my head with this problem. I look forward to participating in the group. It is my hope that there will be an interchange of encouragement and that we can help each other. Thanks for letting me in the group.
