June Post Ops!

[momma_doe 50]

Had a bad day today. Drove 6 hours for nothing but bad moods. I wasted my only Saturday off in 5 weeks. I just want to curl up in a cheesecake.

=(

How about a cheese stick? It's kinda close. . .

Hope you all don't mind but the July group is so quiet I am Jong your June group :-).

Right now I feel like c**p.

Stayed out a bit longer than anticipated and had no Snacks with me. So when the family grabbed take out from the grocery store before we shopped I thought the yogurt parfait looked like it would work for me. Yogurt' date=' granola, fruit. ... what can go wrong? Well half way thru got nauseous and crampy. So stopped eating. Went online and checked nutrition and it had 300 calories must have tons of sugar. Paying for it now:(. Lesson learned... always carry emergency Quest bars.[/quote']

WELCOME!! I'm glad your here!! We are all on this journey - it is full of pot holes and lessons. I hope you are feeling much better.

I know this might not be the popular choice, but go for a walk, get some exercise. It will help you work off some of the bad mood and make you feel better about yourself. You will burn some calories instead of add them! I hope tomorrow is a better day!

((Hugs)) sorry for the bad day. Maybe go get the stuff to make a cheesecake Protein Shake. Laughing cow cinnamon, frozen strawberries, vanilla powder, milk, and a crushed up graham cracker! not exactly the same, but a yummy alternative!

Well I didn't go cheesecake crazy but I did over eat last night. I was so uncomfortable that I made myself throw up. Today I'm doing liquids and soft foods to give my stomach a break. But good news is I lost a pound and a half. 180.0. Woot woot!! 10 more pounds and I've officially lost 100 lbs since April.

I am 180 too. our surgery dates were very close and journey very similar. Yay us! I have to get to 167 to have taken 100lbs off from my highest.

We'll be there soon. I can't believe that I only have 35-40 lbs to lose before I hit my goal. Hard to wrap my head around it.

Hey all you juners. i have a question. how are you dealing with your body image?

I am in no way shape or form vain. but i have good days and bad days. what i mean is i may fit into some new cloths or have another little victory and ride the crest of that high for a few days.then fat bash crash my ego and im the fat guy all over again.

I know im good on the nutrition and exercise. but it seems my curremt dilema is getting past the fat guy image that has been with me for so long. i know ican conquer this and i fully expected this to happen just looking for any tips or thoughts on this matter.

Thanks

I am with you on the "fat girl" thing. I, too, have my good days and bad days with my self image. I am working on realizing my new identity as a healthier person.

We will all just have to work on it together.

I hear you...still thinking I'm fat....people are calling me "skinnny" ,which I'm NOT yet, but neither am I obese....that, coupled with the hanging skin, makes for a really skewed body image. I talk a lot about it with my therapist.

Hi RJ,

I too am having problems. In all honesty, I still am the fat girl. I still have 70 pounds until I reach a goal. Even then my BMI will put me in the overweight category. The skin issue, especially with my arms, is very hard to see. I keep trying to Celebrate the victories that I do achieve and keep my focus there. When I am feeling especially fat, I hit the YMCA, because there is nothing like a good workout to make you feel better about yourself! Keep on keeping on!!!

Im shooting for 120 but will be thrilled for anything lower than 150. I am only 5'2". The weird part is ny shirts are a large or even a medium but my pants are 16. I have a big stomach still. Id love to be a 10 on the bottom...
