Question:
Will I ever get it back under control?

Help!! I am almost 5 months out and have lost about 80 pounds. I haven't lost anything in about 3 weeks and am getting very frustrated. I see myself dealing with this like I did in the "old days" - turning to food for comfort. I find myself grazing - and not on "good" foods. I am so afraid I have reached my limit of weight loss and have endured this surgery for only 80 pounds. I would like to lost 70 more. Any suggestions how I can get back on track and not be so hard on myself???? Thanks for your help.    — Diane W. (posted on May 17, 2002)

Read some of the questions in the library under plateaus. I think you will find that your problem is fairly typical. Especially at about 5-6 months out. Maybe reading how some people got through their plateaus will give you the encouragement you need.
