Need prayers and support (already giving myself a swift kick in the a**)
I really need help. I am not doing well at all with my diet. I am only four months out and have lost almost one hundred pounds,but for the past four weeks, I have not lost any weight. The first couple of weeks were a legitimate plateau, but they I started eating more and more. I am eating WAY more than the 4 ounces per meal that I am supposed to be eating--probably closer to 8 ounces. Two days ago, I bought a food scale and have started weighing and measuring my food out again. I honestly am shocked at how little I am supposed to be eating. I did REALLY good with this yesterday, but at lunch today I totally blew it--I ate a bunch--to the point that my stomach HURT. I can't say that I am eating out of hunger--it is out of boredom, frustration, anger, etc. Also, it is REALLY hard for me to have NO one in my day to day life that had WLS.
If you could all keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I try to figure out what is going on with me. Journaling my emotions and possibly counseling are in my immediate future, but any other suggestions would be great. I would also really like to hear if any others havegone through this, done this.
Thanks all!
I really dont have any suggestions. I just wanted to let you know that you know the problem, you just have to get back to the basics. If measuring the food helps, then by all means keep doing that. You have the tool, you just have to use it correctly. You have come this far, dont give up. You can do this. Stay strong!
Maddie, sometimes we get kind of thrown off. Knowing this is probably one of the major problems is a good one. You know what it is that you must do. A lot of times it is head hunger that is making you eat. Journaling is good and talking things out is good too. Even if you don't have someone to talk to you always have us. That is what we are here for. Each other. We understand each other so much better than our family and friends do since we have gone through most of the things that others are going through. Talk things out with us either on the board or just call some of us. You can always call me and I have free long distance so I can always call you right back. I figure why pay if you don't have to. I guess I am cheap but I would rather call it frugal. You know the words sound better. I send you my love and hugs.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
