You have to stop snacking on popcorn, nuts and chocolate. It's not going to be easy, but if you want to lose you need to figure out healthier alternatives.

Get rid of the Snacks that are harming you, and replace them with good Snacks (check out the post "What's in YOUR "snack bag"). Limit the number of snacks you eat each day, and replace some of those times with activity. DO something, ANYTHING to get your mind off it. Keep your hands busy with hobbies. If you don't have one, GET one! Go to a hobby store or craft shop and find what interests you - make it a very enjoyable one, something that is easy to pick up and do, something that intrigues you. And DO it! Any time you want to snack, go get your hobby/craft and work on it. This helps me tremendously. My husband loves N-scale trains, he loves gardening, woodworking, and making things.

Hopefully this will help, I wish you luck!

I find that I snack out of boredom, especially when I sit all day at my desk. Old habits are hard to break! When you want a snack....drink Water, walk around....do some kind of exercise and it will go away. I did a 48 hour pouch test when my snacking and grazing got out of hand. I went back to basics and drank liquids for 48 hours. This helps eliminate the carbs and all of the cravings. It also helps you feel the tightness of your pouch again. Good Luck....you can do this and reach your goal. I'm not where I want to be but I will get there and you can too!

      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
