    Falling back into habits

    I had my sleeve surgery on May 7th, 2014. I had lost 76 pounds. My father-in-law passed away at the end of October 2014, and just last week, I finally realized that I had slipped back into my old habit of snacking even though I am definitely not hungry. I weighted myself tonight and I am up 8 pounds from the last time I weighed in. I know it is from the emotions of being the support that my husband and kids need me to be. I am so scared that I will gain weight back.....and considering that I still have 80 pounds to lose, this is very serious to me. The weather hasn't been a help, as I am generally more "down" during the winter anyway. I just don't know which way to turn right now......
  2. Happy 41st Birthday Sotired92!

  3. Thank you for this. I have been having a really rough time over these last 4 months. I had a friend pass away, a friend diagnosed with stage 3 cancer going thru chemo that is not working for her, and I lost my job all within months of each other. The weather where I live has been bad, so I stopped walking the 1 to 2 miles per day I was doing, and I turned to my comfort foods- cookies, icecream, etc. I have been wallowing in a sea of self pity, and even with telling myself each and every morning that today is the day I get back on track, by evening I would be eating wrong again. I have had the band in since Jan 9, 2010, and because of my gain, I am only 30 pounds down from when it was inserted. This is very very hard for me to deal with. During the end of the summer 2010, I had finally begun to play with my kids, going hiking, playing volleyball, etc, and I can't even tell you how GREAT that felt! I already feel the change that this weight gain has made in my ability to stay mobile and in my attitude toward exercise and moving! I want to be able to parasail, to hike the Appalachian Trail, to move with my kids! Thank you for rocking my boat, and hopefully getting me back on track! God Bless.
  4. I have had the band for 1 year and I have this problem as well. I only lost 50 pounds to begin with,and now that I knowhow to cheat, I just cant find the willpower to stop. If you get any suggestions that sound fesible, please, pass them on!!
