Sometimes you have to access your inner zen - When you are eating properly and you're not losing. When you are close to goal and those last few pounds just won't go away. When you go to a party and find yourself fee...

I'm claiming it today. I've met goal - My doctor's goal for me was 160.  I've been between 16.9 and 159.0 for the last 2 weeks.  So I guess I'm here!  Yay!!!!   He was right on, too.  I started thinking that ...

I found a belt I loved pre-op and during weight lo - I don't think I ever mentioned it here, but honestly it's worth a mention.  I found them on Amazon, but you probably could find the elsewhere.  I never found them in any stores. ...

Do you look fatter in photos? - I was taking a progress photo in the mirror the other day and they kept coming out looking bigger than what I saw in the mirror.  I even held the photo up next to my image in the m...

Was stalled for a really long time - I was stalled at 180 for a really long time.  I don't view the scale much, but I know it was at least 8 weeks.  My doctor's goal for me is 160. I knew my metabolism was probably...

Before/during photos - 7 mo out. - I wasn't at my heaviest here.  Probably about 220.  I got up to 250, but don't have any photos of that.  The dress is a size 20, I think.  This is at about 180. I'm a solid...

I made it through the company picnic, but now... - I ate well at the company picnic.  Half a hot dog and a nice salad.  I skipped the cookies and the cupcakes and it didn't bother me.  But now that I'm home and I'm hungry again, fo...

I've noticed something odd about telling people I' - For some reason, I'm comfortable telling women, but I'm not comfortable telling men.  I don't mind men knowing, I just don't want to look them in the eye and say it.  I'm sure that...

6.5 months out - I've lost 60 lbs.  From 250 to 190.  (I'm 5'7").  I need to lose 30 more to reach 160. I've stalled between 185 and 190, but I think that's due to several things, so I'm not pan...

Why are carbs so stinking convenient? - I'm hungry.  Genuinely hungry.  If I wanted carbs, I could have them in about 2.5 minutes.  If I want protein or produce, which is what I should have, I have to leave my building a...

I'm really craving white wheat products - I'm pushing through this craving.  We were in NYC last weekend, so I had a few things I normally wouldn't, like a bite of my dd's pizza, three fork-fulls of pasta and 1/4 of a bage...

I am having the oddest craving - I don't think this will spark a craving in anybody else.  I hope.  For some reason, I want overcooked potato chips.  You know how sometimes you get one that's brown and overcoo...

Wanting something sweet and sugary - I need to think through it before I act.  I think I genuinely need more food.  I had some bean salad left from yesterday for lunch.  But it wasn't much.  It's only been 2 hours sin...

I don't think I'm going to lose my hair - I was worried, but I'm 3.5 months out with no sign of thinning.  Does that mean I'm in the clear?  If so, WOOO-freakin'-HOOO! 

I really love that bacon is a protien. - Two slices for breakfast and I'm full till lunch. 

Low carb crackers? - I want some low carb crackers to eat my chicken salad on.  I've been eating it alone or with tomato slices, but I'd like some crackers.  I wondered if some of the really flat crack...

OT - Remarkably, my back has stopped hurting - I got a 20 minute massage at work.  We have the BEST massage therapist come here.  She worked on stretches with me two weeks ago to help open up my lower back.  I've been doing the...

How did menopause affect your weight? - I'm pretty sure I'm entering menopause.  I'm kinda happy about it, frankly, even though I'm only 40.  But I am worried about how I've seen it affect people's weight.  Would love to...

Grocery store roasted chickens - I got one the other day to make chicken enchiladas and chicken salad with.  The chicken from it is sooooo much better than what I usually make.  Do you guys know if they do somethi...

Another compulsive overeating moment - I hope you guys don't mind me blogging this stuff hear.  It helps me to identify and admit my moments.  And I feel like some of you guys will totally understand what I'm experienci...

I may have to stop eating protein - Maybe I'll have to drink all my protein and eat nothing but prunes and lettuce to get my intestine back in action.  I'm not having any pain from constipation, but I'm just tired of...

A compulsive over eating moment (X-posted) - I shared this with my OA group and thought I'd share it with you guys in case anybody can identify.  I just posted it on the main board, but I actually meant to post it here.  What...

This was one of my compulsive overeater moments - I shared this with my OA group and thought I'd share it with you guys in case anybody can identify. Last week, I finally started feeling okay eating.  One day, I bought a pre-pa...

I can burp - I've been able to burp for the last week or so and it's made such a difference!  I think the hiatal hernia repair was making the top of my stomach too closed for air to sneak back ...
