BG - I couldn't agree more. I see a pattern with me and I'm not sure it's physical or a mental game that I'm playing with myself. I've had 2 fills and each time it seems that I do great for 2 weeks after the fill loosing weight but then sabotage time comes and I find that I'm eating more (of course telling myself that I'm not at my "sweet spot" so I will eat until I'm full or hiccup) and I start by eating only good healthy choices however I have found that as I approach my next scheduled fill I am obsessing about food choices and I have "cravings" I gave in and ate bread for the first time since surgery. I wanted toated english muffins with fried eggs and wow the pain it caused was horrible but the taste was so great I had to eat it so I waited until the pain subsided and finished 2 whole english muffins and 3 eggs (I think that is more than a cup of food wouldn't you say). I then proceeded to have chicken wings and ribs for dinner. Oh and I can't forget the damn dairy queen large soft vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles I went out for. So I'll share my crazy weigh-ins:

sat 6/27 - 264

wed 7/1 - 259

Sun 7/5 269

today 7/9 - 265

BG I feel your pain! It sucks to see the scale stop or worse go up. But with our Labor day challenge we're going to get that scale to move in the right direction.

As far as pictures go, my little sister go married last June and I feel as if I ruined her wedding photo's I'm so huge and worse part that wasn't my heaviest!

Hang in there!

I said i would NEVER post my pics either...and i didn't look at them for a very long time.

guess what i did today (before i read your blog too!)....put my pics in my profile. YIKES! to think the night before i had the thought that maybe i DIDN'T need to do this! yeah right.... who am i kidding? I should have done it long ago!

I am also always behind the camera, and run from them. I LOVE the timer on my camera because no one but me (meaning hubby doesn't even) sees them!!

i started on liquids today because i've been going nuts with junk and snacking (grazing) all day. i was SO on track, but after the 4th, my teenagers b-day and hubby's b-day (that's tomorrow and i'm NOT giving in to temptation even though there will be cheesecake here) have just made me bring things i normally wouldn't have in the house...and eating it!

protien shakes and water for me for a couple of days so i can get used to 3 meals a day again! I hope i can bust through a couple of pounds too since i've slowed down!
