Jbaz777 43 Posted December 1, 2012 So no one judge, but I've been eating like horribly lately, chips, sweets,and even fried foods. I don't get dumping. Making bad decisions, I'm going back to my old ways. Big sigh!! Any suggestions?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted December 1, 2012 Ugh, I must admit I am heading there too! I've eaten bread (all started with half a bread at thanksgiving) I don't dump and it doesn't help me on track! Today I ate a bite of bday cake at work BIG FAIL I left like a loser! And I ate one bite of a cheese quesadilla Please don't judge I need advise to get back on track! It all started with a half a bread and since then I have been pushing the limits :'( .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted December 1, 2012 we are all human and since this is something you just started doing it shouldn't be too hard to get back on track. it is hard when there are so many temptations out there but look what you went through to lose weight to start with!

pwnykat 42 Posted December 1, 2012 its ok ladies. noone said it would be easy. you will still be losing, just at a slower rate. try to remember why you chose to do this, what hoops you went through, and what it really means to you. We're in this together, no judging, just support. I just had my first post op meal - chicken stock and yogurt... I know I'm not hungry but I am craving a cheese scone damnit!

Truth85 13 Posted December 1, 2012 Tomorrow is a new day think about why u wanted to loose weight in the first place and pull those old pics out of u when u was heavier and think do I want to go back to that but everyone falls off the wagon just get your self back on it again cause no one is perfect but god. And having those foods once and a while is not bad just as long as u know u portioned it out it won't make u gain but it will make your weight stall hope u are well.

kiwiladydee 402 Posted December 1, 2012 The best motivation is looking at your starting out picture - the day of your surgery. It is the motivation u need to not turn back and keep moving forward. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinerWoman 90 Posted December 1, 2012 I know just what you mean...I'm in the same boat. I don't dump unless I eat to fast, in that case the food gets stuck and it comes up I order for me to feel better. I can eat just about anything I want and I'm less that two months out. I don't go crazy if its something that I want I may have one bite and I'm done with it. I don't eat a whole bag if chips or even a whole cookie. I will take one bite of something that I have a taste of and that is enough to satisfy me. Until I had my cycle... I ate too many cheese it crackers, they put me at a stall so I had to give them to my children. I do work out every day which keeps my wanting more fuel for my body. Remembering to make good choices and planing meals and Snacks in advance it what keeps me doing what I need to do. I love WLS and do happy that I have this tool because with out it, baby I would have eaten everything in site. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted December 1, 2012 Rem all one bit of cake or bread is not the end of the world. That's being human. Part of this process is to learn to new habits. Our old habits were one or two pieces of cake and no exercise. If the bit help with a craving. It's ok as long as it is not a habit. Move on and don't beat yourself up. :-) 1 kristy3k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jbaz777 43 Posted December 1, 2012 I want to thank everyone for all you said. I mean I don't eat whole bags of chips but I do eat some here and there. I felt like a failure for eating it but it was good!!! Lol. I'm cleaning out my bad habits today and starting over to what I should be doing. In 4 1/2 months I've lost 93 pounds. I believe that's pretty good. Unfortunately I can eat anything I want!! Which is bad because it tempts me all the time. I think above anything I'm afraid of stretching my pouch. Big sigh, just praying I can get ahold of myself!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just eat very healthy 99 percent and the other 1 percent will be fine. Dont beat yourself up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lili2012 85 Posted December 2, 2012 After going slightly off track for a few days, I set my goal weight for Christmas, decided on eliminating all carbs from my diet. I put these in front of my desk to keep me motivated & on track. When I crave anything badly, one bite is all I take. Take it easy on yourself & set your next goal. Log everything & check it out daily to monitor yourself. hugs & good luck Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted December 2, 2012 Hello:) I was doing great & decided not the 1st time to eat a slice of pizza & oh boy. I was in so much pain & was throwing up. I love pizza but I will never have s slice again. Since I get chocolate cravings I always have chocolate kisses around so I eat limit 4 pieces but I must stop & go back to my sugar free Russell which taste delicious & not Hugh in calories. When I feel dry I have just bought it from BJ's(just became 60 day free membership) sugar free crystal light candy 25 calories for 4 pieces had one taste delicious. In other words we have healthier choice when it comes to picking out food. I still got a bunch of stuff to buy. I want to stay a size 4 and get down to size 2 and 110lbs. I don't want to fail.
