9 month surgiversay...struggling...
Well today is my 9 month surgiversay, let me just start off by saying, I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!
that being said...I have been losing and gaining the same 3-5 lbs for 2 month now, my eating is 90% compliant,
with the past 2 weeks being 100% on point at all times...
I honestly don't know what else to do, I'm going to call it a "stall"
since it's lasting so long, with no apparent rhyme or reason
and just plug away hoping that soon I will see a new loss..
on the bright side,I've noticed that my thinking had really changed on this journey,
in the past this frustration would lead to what I could only describe as an EPIC BINGE...
I have no desire, well, In all honesty I'd have to admit this morning I was like,
I'm throwing it out the window...FUDGE IT!!!!
but no, I'm not..tomorrow is an off plan day,
I know it, I accept it
And I've planned for it, I'm not going to sabotage myself....
HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY MY O.H. PEEPS!!!
Happy surgiversary, Sleeve Sister! You are so close to goal! The weight loss is much slower close to goal! But keep the faith and you'll get there!
I'm still 30 pounds from goal, and losing slowly. Some days I want to pinch myself to make sure its real! Just think how far you've come, and take your time as you continue to goal. You are doing so well!
best wishes,
Carol

Oh, girl. You know I hear you! The thing that I think finally tipped me over the edge was taking Benefiber to, uh, keep things moving forward!
Keep the faith, girl! You're doing GREAT!!

Thank you all for your words of support and encouragement!
Someone on here once described the scale as a bad boyfriend ( I'm going to say Nikke said it recently, but I'm not sure)
What a perfect description! His name is now JETHRO ( cause it just popped I my head)
and I LOVE HIM...I HATE HIM....I LOVE HIM!!!!!
he calls to me, he say sweet things to me, but recently he's been playing head games,
then tells me, here baby, here's a nice 1/2 lb...I love you...don't leave!!!! LOL!, I crack myself up!
JETHRO has his faults right now, and I'm PISSY! But he keeps me accountable and he knows, I'm an ostrich type girl...
can't put my head in the sand, if the truth, good or bad is staring me right in the face...Something occurred to me..had I kept my original goal of 150 I would have been at goal and in maintence (with an additional 9# loss) for some time now..
damn my overachieving nature!! ( that's a joke cause I'm a BIG TIME SLACKER!!)
LMAO!!!! Love this.. i needed a good laugh, keep up dont quit! You have come so far.. and i love seeing posts where people can say.. i am struggling with something.. i am human and going to make mistakes, but in the world its so .. hush hush.. I love that you can say .. i was 90% compliant.. I mean that is real.
Thanks for sharing

First let me say that you are doing GREAT! I do hear you though about the stall messing with your head. I am no where near goal, but at almost 8 months out, I'm in a 3 week stall. My eating is 100% compliant. I've never eaten off plan. But still, I have these damn stalls. I have learned that it will pass and in the end it really doesn't matter. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get the last few pounds off. We can't control the scale (Jethro). We can only control our behavior. Tell Jethro you're going to start seeing someone else. Maybe he'll start behaving!
