Hello - - - Anybody home????

Hi everyone - it's so sad to me when I come here and see no one has visited in so long.  This used to be such a vibrant board and so everyone was so supportive.   I guess it's the natural thing to move on, after all it's been nearly five years, but I really feel like I developed friendships here and I miss everyone.

I'm doing OK, always struggling.  I have FINALLY realized that I am a sugarholic.  Once I start I can't stop and a little is too much and a truckload is not enough.  So I have to abstain from sugar and right  now I'm working on acceptance of that.   It's not easy, as we all know.

Anyway I hope you will all check in.  Or send me an email!!

Hugs,

Hi Nancy!

I've been doing my normal dance... gaining... loosing, gaining again.  It's good to see you on the board.  I too am a sugarholic, carbaholic.  As long as I stay away from that stuff, I'm good, but once I start... katybar the door I'm on a downward spiral.

I have an alcholic mentality when it comes to carbs and sugar.  I need to find a good psychologist.
Anyway.. so good to see you on the board.  I miss the July babies!

Hugs!

Denise it is SO good to hear from you!!  Guess we're doing the same dance!!   I'm about 185 lbs.  - funny, at one point I would have died if I weighed that much, now it's kind of on the low end for me.   My promise to myself is that I will never go over 200 lbs. again, and I hope to keep that promise.

I have been seeing a therapist about the sugar/white carb addiction, and I really just have to abstain and now work on acceptance that I can't have these foods.  I try and do it like AA - one day at a time.  Instead of saying I can never have sugar, I say today I choose not to have sugar.

Anyway, hang in there my friend, and please check in every now and then and I will too....

Love ya!!

 

I'm up, I'm down...always the same 10lbs.  I'm lucky that I've been able to maintain my weight at about a 20lb gain from my lowest of 215.  I don't really exercise (shame on me!), and I pretty much eat whatever I want.  If I'd actually stick with anything longer than a couple of days, I might see some progress.  I'm too lazy, though...and my life is quite functional even though I'm still tipping the scales well over 200.

Well hello stranger!!  It's so good to hear from you!!  

I gain and lose the same ten pounds too.   I lose it during the week and gain in on the weekends!   I tap dance once or twice a week and I swear, once the weather stays nice, I'm going to start walking again and shave off a few inches!!

I hope you keep checking in....we can't let the July babies go completely down the drain!!

Love ya !

It's an inspirational group of folks who've fallen off the wagon, some in small ways and some in largre ways.  I'm finding it helpful. 

Come join me!

Hi Everyone,

  I can't believe it has almost been 5 years already. How the time flies. I thought it was only me with the sugar addiction. But I know my limit and I can stop. I often crave something sweet after a meal,,,anyone have any ideas about why this happens? I have been maintaining my weight, I go up and down, fighting this 10 lbs like everyone else, but as long as it stays only 10 I am fine. I want to stay in my size 8 jeans...lol Glad to see everyone is doing good. yes we do need to keep in toouch more. take care everyone.

Hi everyone! It's good to see some activity here on the board, but looks like even this thread is a few months old.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I have not been on here forever!
I too have fallen off the wagon and going to need help getting back on. I have went back to all of my bad habits! :(
I told myself "that can't happen to me, I am too careful" I have gained back almost 25lbs and never really got to a goal wt either....feeling very down about this now!!
Hope it gets better,
I am going to try the new site I seen mentioned above!
Thanks all!
