never lost weight

Let me try that again.

The title of my masters thesis was The Relationship of Childhood Trauma and Abnormal Eating Patterns. In preparation one of the studies I read that helped me pick this subject, was a study of inpatient overweight girls who were on highly restricted diet and exercise program. In this particular study the girls who had experienced severe trauma did not lose ANY weight, even though being monitored. This was just one. There were other similar cases.

Sooo personally i do I think it's possible to have psychological issues that can inhibit your body from shedding the pounds, even though you are following a diet and exercise plan. I do not think its always calories in calories out. I think our minds can do funny things to us.

One of my biggest fears.

I'm 10 weeks out. I'm only down about 25lbs from the surgery. Basically I had 3 decent weeks of weight loss (not in a row) & the rest were far slower than prior to surgery for me. I was not drinking calories' date=' not eating slider foods & the last thing I wanted to do was not lose weight. I exercise daily & track everything that I put in my mouth. I was very careful to keep my Protein & Water intake high. My bariatric team was very happy with what I was doing & said that the weight would just eventually start dropping.. but it wasn't. So, yes.. you can be playing by the rules & not see much happening. Not sure what would have happened in the long run (and wasn't going to sit there without seeing what I could change).

Last week I changed 2 days of my normal routine & added in some higher carbs. The pounds started to move once more. I think that for my weight loss I need to have a day or 2 a week like that (using healthy choices).[/quote']

OMG I needed to see this. I have cried and cried. I am 6 weeks out and have not lost anything in weeks. I feel so defeated and went back to liquids and trying to start over.

I think there is a difference here, we get support from each other.

The reason I posted this is to make people aware. Both those who are struggling, and those who reply that you must be doing something wrong and not being honest. If you're stalled and struggling, mix it up!

For me I listened to the post that talked about adding avocado. I don't even like avocado, have always thought it was nasty and slimy, well right now it tastes good! Go figure. Anyhow I've eaten it for 2 days and I have lost 3 of the 4 lbs I've gained. Not calling victory yet at ending my stall, but getting closer.

Also, I need to find a new therapist to help me figure out how to deal with eating when I'm not hungry. I get the why behind it... In my case a childhood where many times there was not enough food in the house, but I need help retraining my mind.

I do have alopecia and am currently seeing a dr for my craziness. (Just women problems). Hopefully he can help me with this. I'm following my drs orders and not losing much. Stalked twice within 4 weeks makes no sense to me.

I spoke too soon. I was stalled for 4 days...woke up this morning to another pound gone. Hopefully the stall is broken.
