Hiding?

Ok here I am 44 and just got on the scales and now there is 30 pounds to lose. Never Mind I was 50 from goal at my lowest (212) Gonna do the 5:2. I have avoided it long enough. I have a six hour drive with my adult daughter and my grandson. And tomorrow my first fast day. I got this. What was I thinking eating what I want for the last Year. am I too Late?

Im having a better week in trying to retrain my brain.

I would love to go into any store and take a 10 even 12 of the rack and it fit

Thank you. I had a better week but there were only a few good days. Its as if i never had the surgery but i did. So i need to reset my body and restrain my brain. A point i have been to many times. My highest was 345. Im now 238-245. It swings. I was really happy at 215-220. So there you are right. I need to work at 25-30 pounds not 100-200 lbs. I'm am just afraid it will keep going up and ill be 300 again. Fear is a great motivator until someone puts the food in front of me and I choose to eat it for whatever reason. Mostly comfort from celebration or stress or loneliness. I know this. Now to get around it.

Im 2.5 years out. Im so frustrated. Seems one meal can put weight on me. Im searching for that sane motivation i longed for all my life abd im not finding it.

Day two. I ate three meals but snacking was minimal. More conscious. My next fluid fasting day this week will be Friday.

Day one done!

Conne River. Bay DEspoir. On south coast of the island. South of grandfalls. I say that because even nld'ers think burin highway sometimes.

Where are we now? I am struggling with regain. Wake up call. Reaching out for support. Anywhere and everywhere. Starting 5:2 lifestyle tomorrow.

Im fr NL

I was 344. Went down to 212. Maintained that for six months. Now I'm 244. And scared. I cant be 300 again I just cant.

My surgery was a year ago Jan7. I have 128 pounds gone. Got 50 plus more to go. I lost 100 first six months and 28 the second. I hope to lose 25 this next six months.

I am three weeks away from my one year anniversary. I have 116 pounds gone. Still weighing 217. Up and down five pounds most all fall. I would love to be under 200 by check up but not realistic. Im picking at choc and sugary things more. Restriction still there most times. Head hunger is a battle daily. I hope to reach goal of 180 by june.

Surgery wt. 329 Current wt. 222 Surgery jan7,2013 Struggling with grazing and snacking most days and i believe that is slowing wt loss very much. I need to deal with this right now. I increased intensity of exercise this week and i feel results but all for not if i keep eating candy, crackers and other carbs. I have ti get my head in this right now.

Jan3. 344. Sept 3. 224. Still a work in process!!

Finally down to 229. Hopefully down from here again.

Ok lots to digest here but just a simple observation for my body pre and post vsg, the theory 3500 cal = 1 pound gain/lose never and still does not apply. I have lost 114 lbs from 344 to 230 in six months. Up five lbs this morning due to eating salty meals and Snacks on a party weekend just gone, no alcohol, and never went over 1300 cal per day and still exercised. It will take me a week to get back to 230, hopefully 229 or 228, at 800 - 1000 cal days ( my normal). So my question, is this my normal or a new normal due to surgery?

I started at 344.1 and seven months later I'm 232.2 up and down 5 lbs. i was 229 last week. What do i do? I have 50 plus to go. Is it over?

Thanks all and I'll see when I weigh next week. Maybe ill change my weigh in days to friday instead of mondays. Lol. Mondays, though, keep me accountable over the weekend.

112.7 lbs gone

Down 110.5 since jan1. Yay!!! Slower but still coming off.

When i get hungry i have learned to slow down and see if it started with a thought or actually coming from my new stomach. If i sip water and the "empty" feeling or growls go away then it was stomach. Head hunger has been much more difficult to get rid of for me. The tummy rumbles still happens sometimes. Im almost six months out.

From 344.1 to 243.6, with another 60 to 80 to work at, I feel wonderful. I cant imagine what I will feel like when I reach 199. Thats the next pic ill post, suppose it takes a year!!

100.5 lbs down since Jan 1, 2013. 85 lbs since surgery jan 7, 2013. Yay!!!! 6 mth check up this coming friday.
