Need HELP!!!

Hi everyone. I was able to eat yesterday things and amounts that I did not think I would be able to. I did not get sick or feel that full. I must have ate 2,000 cal. I ate cake with a lot of sugar in it. I am scared. I want to commit to all of you that for the rest of this week I will follow my food plan and eat and drink only what I am suppose to. I had my surgery 1/23 so I am at the 3 month mark. I have lost 58 lbs so far and I don't want to stop. My starting weight was 324. I am just starting to feel good. I can walk without getting winded and my joints don't hurt anymore. I am 50 years old and need to be healthy to do the things I want and need to do. Will let you know tomorrow how I did today. Thanks for listening.... Janet

Janet Thank you for listening to me and sharing your experience with me. It is a hard road and some days arent' as good as others. I've decided if I start having cravings that I am going to leave my house. Go for a walk, take a long bath, go to the Y, the beach, swimming.. something! It helps me. I just have to stick to that. I will be here to listen when ever you need me.. Because I always need all of you! (((HUGS)))) Julie

Janet, we are here for you hon. We all have our bad days. Its a constant battle to make sure the good ones out number the bad. I have noticed that posting my menu keeps me accountable and I think twice before I eat something truely horrible cause I know I will have to tell everyone on the board. I hope you have a good day and remember we are here for ya. hugs, kristi

Look at you ... I wondered who the new poster was until I saw Miss Celie. Pretty, pretty, pretty! God bLess, Jen

Is there a new picture that I don't see?

Ronna, Hold down your ctrl button and hit the refresh icon in the internet toolbar. You should then be able to see here pretty new pic. I think Jaci taught me that trick! God bless, Jen

Janet I think you did the right thing by posting the bad day. I think I will commit to doing that in the future because it will help to make me accountable to someone else. You're right that we have to stick to our plan and not deviate. I'm guilty of testing the water too and am surprised that I can eat as much as I can eat but this is going to work, and so we just have to learn to trust that this surgery is going to work for us and not sabotage it. You'll be fine - it's that old thing of falling off the horse and getting right back on. Take care...

We're here with you, Janet. It does happen and you've taken the right steps to keep it from reoccuring. THe first time I ate something that was less than desirable it was a situation with lots of mixed emotions. We're here to support you thru the path of success. I agree that posting and writing down everything you eat keeps one accountable. I have a book that I carry around and ensure that every bite gets logged. If I am feeling indulgent I make sure I post that day, as Kristi said, having to outline it for the others helps keep one in check. Hugs, Tiffany

I know when you see my name your like OOh wow shes doing the stepper again. I do the same alot of the time but when I step I feel real good about myself. So I did it again today. Sometimes I wonder should I keep putting it on here day after day. Candy
