Hi all,
I am 6 months out and losing slowly. i have lost 41% of excess weight. I struggle with emotions and food. When I started my trip to surgery several years ago I met a therapist *****commended the book.
I've utilized book. Still struggle with some of the exercises but I never utilized book day by day.
Looking forward to working the program in a group.

Topic: RE: Introduction and thanks . . .
What I've been listening to so far has made a lot of sense to me, too. And what I really love is that it's not the same old stuff I've been hearing for years and years. This truly is a new way to approach an eating plan and a new perspective on how to manage it. Girls, I'm so excited!!

Topic: RE: Three Triggers

Triggers to be compliant:

I don’t want what I’ve been through for the surgery to be for nothing

Having renewed confidence

Being able to wear stylish clothes and looking good in them

Being better accepted by other people
No longer worrying that my children and grandchildren are ashamed of my size

 

Triggers to pig out:

I don’t know that I’ve really pigged out since my surgery. There have been days when I knew I ate too much of the wrong things over the course of the day. The triggers for that are the same as my triggers to graze.

 

Triggers to graze:

Boredom

Too much time on my hands

Seeing the food

Topic: RE: Beck's Exercise #1 Motivation
It's interesting to me that so many people have a hard time accepting themselves as slender people. I was not obese most of my life. Consequently, I had a hard time accepting myself as a fat girl. In fact, I didn't ever accept her. Having lost 92 lbs., I finally feel like I'm back to the person I really am inside, and I absolutely love it. But I'm scared to death that I'll blow it. That's why this group is so important to me.

Motivations
Shave my legs without having to do contortions
Visit old friends without being ashamed of how I look
Work the ropes challenge course and be challenged mentally, not physically
Feel attractive
Shop for cute clothes
Improve my health
Be active with my grandchildren
Sit cross-legged on the floor
Get out of a chair without having to get a rocking head start

Disadvantages
Making a drastic and permanent reconfiguration of my anatomy
Fear of losing the social interaction associated with food
Losing the pleasure that sugar consistently gave me
Possibility of complications
Fear of taking this leap, then failing at weight loss
Expense and inconvenience of taking supplements
Gas - lots and lots of stinky gas

Hi My name is Trudy.  I had my open RNY in November of 2006.  I initially lost about 180 pounds but have put 60 back on.  I am working hard to get back to where I need to be both physically and mentally/emotionaly.

I don't want to go back to 360 pounds I have to find a way to stop.

I've done pretty good for the past week with getting back on track.

I bought the Beck book and read about two chapters and then never finished.  I am going to dig it out and try again reading it with y'all.

Good luck to us all.

Trudy - Hey there's no such thing as a poor motivator.  My guess is that they reason pretty clothes is a motivators is because of the way you feel when you can buy/wear/look good in pretty clothes.  Now there's an internal motivator if I ever read one. 

Don't be harsh with yourself.  Be kind, gentle, and firm.  Treat yourself as you would treat your best friend if she/he were to find themselves in the same situation you're in.

You can do this!!!!!! and BOTT is an excellent help too - at least I found it to be terribly significant in me getting back/staying on track.
