Ok so here goes- I am stuck at 205. 5 Magical short pounds from "Onderland" Why I am stuck here at 205? I will tell you why, because I have been eating slider foods. Mainly Fritos and Junaitas chips sometimes popcorn and close your eyes....even chocolate. So pissed it doesent make me sick like everyone else. Just my luck, it goes down like normal. Usually at bed time. Its comfort food (not making excuses just keeping it real) I am not sure why I am sabotaging myself. I am sure its physiological, although I am not a physiologist. Why I am afraid of going down into the next chapter, am I afraid of success? of the ok, I have done this now what? I have done this and reached my goal but it wasn't the cure all of everything? Am I loosing all this weight for a reaction from others I am afraid I am not going to get. or I will get and not know how to handle it? I haven't had my hair done, or tanned. I think another way of hiding. I think what the problem is that Its been 10 years since I was thin. And at that time I was pretty and young. Now 10 years later, I am afraid to see what I will look like after all this weight is gone, and I get my hair done, and their is nothing more physically that I can do to transform myself and their staring at me in the mirror will be a wrinkled up skinny lady and that's all I can do. PS Tonite I did not eat chocolate...lol :) I have been very honest so please be nice....

Yay for no chocolate tonight! :)

I do my best work at night too... I'm a sneak eater wait till everyone goes to bed kind a girl.

I know all the feelings you are going through.

I think a lot of women here can relate. As much as we hate being fat and unhealthy there is something "safe" about it.

All I can say is therapy, it really does help you find out the "whys".

Girl no I bought them thinking oh protein!

Nope got them a couple of days ago...

Crack I tell you it's a big ole chocolate chip cookie with "protein" thrown into it somewhere.

Yep can't buy those again :P

I have to keep everything thats tempting out of the house because I can't be trusted!

That works for me because I'm also lazy, so I won't actually leave the house to buy the crap I'm fantasizing about :D

jacee -

I sooooo agree with everyone else. Just forgive yourself and move on. Old habits are hard to break. If you don't like the therapy idea, consider meditation or going back to support groups or getting a mentor.

A positive attitude is also a defining moment in these situations. You can do this...look how far you came. (Just be there for me when I am on the onederland fence!)

If night eating is your main problem, choose not to eat after, say, 8pm every night. Water only after that time, then go to bed!

Great topic!!!

I think we can ALL relate. Some days are harder than others. Me, I can have NONE, but I can't have a little (If I have one I have many, so I work HARD to have none).

No one is here to be nasty...We all know the struggles with food addiction....You know what you are doing wrong and now you must focus to get back on track.....Knowing what the areas are that you have trouble with is 1/2 the battle....

We all need a treat now and then...

I think you have something there when you talk about the fear of getting under 200.....I know where you are coming from....I too fear success.....

But.....work through it and see how it goes.....

Your still here and working at it...Be kind to yourself and stop sabotaging yourself.....Get your hair done and nails too......Be good to yourself....you deserve to replace food with things that will last.....

Go, go, go....you would not have gone through the surgery if something deep inside of you was ready.....remember that okay.....

10 years and this surgery doesn't make you ugly and old. You're still the same wonderful person on the inside no matter what you look like on the outside. And that wonderful person deserves the very best, don't be afraid to let her have it.

My advice: get that crap out of the house! That's what I have to do.

I know prior to having surgery, I had a sweet tooth. I loved my sweets. Every night my hubby sits on the couch and has his ice cream. I have a Decaf coffee with sugar free Creamer and it is so delicious. It satisfies my sweet tooth. And sometimes I have a protien bar. Some of those Protein Bars have low grams of sugar and the chocolate coating tastes so good. The amounts of sweets that you are eating probably arent going to deter your weight loss that much but I would be worried that my hair is gonna fall out cause I am not getting enough protien. That is one thing, protien before anything else and I aint gonna be bald

I'll eat some cheater food and then think "wait, what did I just eat?" oblivious to even putting in my mouth. I need something like the invisible fence shock that will make me aware of something off limits coming near my mouth

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
