Gaining, Gaining, Gaining!

May 02, 2009

It's been almost a month since I started gaining back weight.  To date, I have gained back 17 pounds back at only ten months out.  I have returned to my pre-surgery behaviors and have almost given up on myself.  I have had good intentions every morning but give into binging and laziness.  At this rate, all my weight will be back in a couple of months.  I attend two support groups and occasionally exercise.  I have developed a "why bother"  attitude.

I am embarrassed because I know that people are noticing the gain.  I just don't seem to have any control over my behavior.  I don't know what to do.  No, I do know what to do but I don't do it.  I don't understand why not.

I see so may others on this website reaching their goal weights at about this time but I just gain.  I question my desire.  Do I want to do this or is it easier to just be fat?  Can I turn this around before the rest of the 86 pounds comes back on.

I just want to escape reality and sleep my life away but then I think about my sons. One is heading down the same path as me and follows my lead.  I have to start setting a good example.  How will I muster up the desire?!

I did walk 3 miles today.  But the eating was still out of control.  It was, however, better from yesterday.  I have a plan to start the five day pouch test on Saturday if I can find find the commitment to prepare for it.

Can I turn this around?...
