I had weight loss surgery in 2009. I weighed 492 on morning I had surgery. The lowest weight I got to was 318. Today I am 340. Yes I am down 150 pounds but I am still 200 pounds away from goal. Anyone else out there in my situation? I had a little regain but never reached goal. I really am a failure at this. I am so sad.

I am in the same boat as you also.  Unfortunately I'm a stress eater and there has been a TON of stress in my life lately.  Daily I try to get back on track but at the same time feel like a failure.  All I can suggest is each day is a new start, so if you didn't start today, try to tomorrow. 

I am there with you. I just had to have my band out & am struggling. I back up the other response but have a addition. It never has to wait to make the right decision. Not only everyday do i try real hard but every meal. Every bite. I literally had a cookie to my lips this morning and chose not to eat it. I put it back. But even if i had eaten it i wouldn't have danged the whole day....hopfully. Lol at least i hope i wouldn't have. Anyway my point is it's never too late to make a good decision. Don't pile on the restrictions. Restart slowly. You're not a failure as long as you're trying.

I'm reading your post months later. How are you doing?

Have you had any successes, small or big?

I am pulling for you. All of us who struggle with weight gain / regain and food addiction are in this together. 

 

 

I was hoping for an update also!
