Daily Maintenance Weigh In Tuesday 8/6

I hear you. I have been going through some of the same right now.

Thanks Gail.  Sometimes, I wish I could to go back to how things were just after surgery, when food seemed to have no hold on me.  But now it's back and I have to stay on top of it.

I have been good so far today, but the real test comes at around 5pm and later :-)

I wish you well on this struggle!

Sounds like you're making smart choices to match your cir****tances. Good for you. 

I'm struggling, too. I just bought a ****load of veggies and hummus. It seems to help with the cravings - sort of.

Good for you Slim!  I have that stuff at home too, up to and including Elina's soup - I just don't want to eat it :-)  I've thrown out all the things I can't moderate, but I don't want to eat anything I have left.  Ugh.

Thanks for the support.  This too shall pass!

I'm still struggling with emotional eating as well, although improving. Yesterday ate 3/4 of a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and then felt lousy. Too much leftover food in the house. Dumped the rest of that and other ice cream as well this morning. 

156.0 today

Judy, take care of yourself. You are going through a lot right now. Good that you dump all the non VSG friendly stuff. Get rid of it. Make it easier to make good choices. Hugs.

Good on you for dumping the ice cream. My family has been good about helping me keep land mines out of the house.

Good for you for dumping that food. I wonder, if it might help for you to spend some time with a good friend. Emotional support is so important at a time like this.

Judy - I think about you a lot. I have no idea what it's like to go through what you have just been through. I just want to say thank you for your honestly through all of this. You are such a wonderful representation of how to perservere through the tough times.

*hugs*
