I also wonder if you are getting weary after meeting that huge milestone of the struggle with changing eating habits and such? I know sometimes I have to generate some new motivation. How about a new goal to set for yourself?

I think you are right....i kinda feel like I have been doing this sooo long! I want a "vacation' from it I guess! but untill I am where I want to be and maintaining long term.....the "vacation will need to wait. thanks!

I took a "vacation" at my 3 year mark and "found" 20lbs...in the LONG run it so wasn't worth it...

Don't give yourself permission to eat those things, you're not doing *you* any favors by doing this. I know first hand that the more you do it, the easier it gets and I'm glad you're being accountable to yourself now!

Be good to yourself and do what you know to be healthful to Jimbo :)

Kudos to you for your honesty, Jimbo. The truth is that none of us are perfect, no matter how good we are at sticking to the rules most of the time. That's not to excuse the behavior... because we don't wanna go down the path of rationalization. It's just proof that this battle is a lifelong one and doesn't magically disappear with time.

I found myself doing the same type of thing about 10 days ago... I got back in the saddle, and I've dropped about 8 lbs. since then. Get back on track, and you'll be a 300 lb. loser again in no time. Besides... that chain medallion was bought on clearance and can't be returned.

Current weight: 170 lbs.

Once I reach goal, this cow will be killed & eaten... 2 ounces at a time.

Total includes 56 lbs. lost on 2-month low carb pre-op diet. Start date 9/13/10.

Ohh Jimbo you're not a fraud!!!!

This post just shows... for me personally... that even those who are EXTREMELY successful aren't always perfect.. Not that I feel that it's a pass for me to go out and eat pizza..ummmmmmmmm wonderful pizza... or chips or whatever it may be.

I'm not expert at this, but I swear by planning as much as I can.. I find when I don't have those measured out portions is when I loose control... My eyes are still bigger than my stomach!!!!

Get back on your feet buddy!!!

Yes, you do know what to do. We all do. But sometimes our cravings get in the way of our reality and we have to give ourselves a good talking to. I'm struggling right now with the evil ***** too. I haven't gained, but I feel like I could lose control. It's hard!!

I can't let myself avoid the scales, because I would do exactly what you have done. If I don't get on the scale, I don't have to be accountable to it.

Do you have a Weigh****chers or TOPS group in your area? I go to TOPS every Tuesday and weigh in. I stay for the meetings. It helps keep me honest. I truly think that if I wasn't going to TOPS, I would have let myself lose control too.

You can do this. We are all here to help kick your butt back into reality. *Raising my foot -turn around, here it comes*

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
