Whew! 
Glad someone else will own up to theses feelings too. I know its not just us. It just can't be.
Its amazing how much you've lost and how far you've come. Its as though having some success already is an anti climax. Where is the mental push to the next level?
About two weeks back I had chips and oreos. This week its single serving tubs of pringles. I make sure I do double the calories in additional exercise burn when I stray. I've started adding some leeway by burning the calories first then indulging. I'm trying not to let this set me back from reaching goal on time.
It was always hard but its getting even harder. I thought getting accustomed to this would ease the struggle some. Eventully become second nature. It only seems to increase in difficulty. I'm just not hitting my stride.
Everything tempts me now. Television is torture. I don't even eat cheese yet pizza commercials are making me crazy.
I'm hoping goal and maintenance will be easier for me. Not having to keep an appreciable calorie deficit should help. But how do I get through now?

me me me! I am! I am so obessed and I have to be honest last night i slipped and snacked on cheesies i know...wtf was i thinking! I know i started weighting on the higher side of the most feb 09ers, starting at 462 pounds, As of today i am now 316! I am so close to hitting 299 i could barf, not literally... you know what i mean! We need to do this, and we are both not alone! we need to refocus! My doctors goal for me is 220, I plan on getting down to 180 thats my ultimate goal, my personal one! I am figureing all this loose skin will weight about 30-40 pounds! I am so excited and it seems so far away, and i just want it to happen. I literally had to get rid of my scale because i am so bad, so I walk to my mothers ever couple of days to weight in, and when the scale done move, i feel so down but i know when its not moving the inches are! We can do this!!
Topic: Thinking About Goal
I can see it but its still so far.
A lot of us Feb 2009'ers are in range, having lost half of what we wanted to loose or more. I had 15.8 lbs to go but that was increased to 28.8 lbs as my goal was lowered.
I know its irrational but the added 13 lbs scare the **** out of me. Friends on another board suggested I think of it in increments. I need to loose 7.2 lbs per month, less than 2 lbs per week to hit my target for my 02/04/2010 annual follow up. I can do this, can't I? I know I can and I know I must.
Its really messing with my head. I find myself tempted by things that did not bother me before. Things I haven't eaten in years pre wls. Is anyone else fighting self sabatage?
Except for some mystery water retention I am loosing better than I have at any time since wls. My body water is up 7 lbs yet the scale is up only 3 lbs which should mean an estimated 4 lb fat loss under it all.
Is anyone else obsessing?

Congratulations and welcome to Onderland 
My goal was lowered to 140 lbs, bmi 24.0. An extra 13 lbs to go and I was just over 15 lbs from goal. I'm glad however. In the long run with the potential for regain always with us, I'll have 10 lbs or so of play to stay in the normal range.

I've been slow from the start but I find having high and low calorie/ carbohydrate days helps. Yesterday 1475 calories, today about 1225. My exercise burn each day, 1450-1800 calories.
Mixing it up keeps the body guessing and makes my wl more predictable. Before doing this I could calculate a 2 lb loss for the week and gain instead.

You look so beautiful! I can't believe it's been 7 months for most of us. I've lost 90lbs and I'm feeling great. I am no longer a diabetic, and I exercise 6 days a week now. I'm trying to reach the 140's too! I am so happy, and I feel healthy!
Topic: Finally
This morning I decided to weigh myself and low and behold I broke the barrier I been waiting to break for a while now. I was amazed that it finally happened. Feeling good about myself and my loss that I have occured since the beginning of my journey. Looking forward to more of it and seeing how well things turn out for me. My start weight was 276 my weight now is 199 and my goal weight is 145. Looking forward to the months to come to see how well I do things. Hows everyone else doing?
Topic: RE: Wow, its like pulling teeth!
Don't get discouraged we all go through slow times and fast weight loss times. Sometimes things slow down and you feel like nothing is happening but the inches are still coming off. Keep the faith that things will start to roll again. My nutritionist told me at 6 months things could start to slow down so I just try to keep focused and do what needs to be done.Keep smiling and don't get stressed .
