well put, don't you think?

I kinda felt fat and bummed out I ate too much of the Holiday's, till I read this.  I hope those who didn't loose weight or even gainned a little can read this and understand, that you are not alone.  Tomorrow is a new day.   REPOST:


I posted this in answer to an earlier post and then thought that it might be worth posting as a separate thread. Sorry if that irritates anyone but I thought it might be on people's minds right now! The original topic was that people over-ate over Xmas. Here is my reply.

THAT'S WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO!!!  Normal (i.e. slim) people eat healthily most of the time and then eat unhealthily every now and then.

So that makes us NORMAL!! And that is what we wanted to be when we got WLS.

So, yes, I ate everything on your list, and more, and lots of it spread over hours! And today I feel fat and bloated and the scales tell me I m up 4.5 lbs. So is (normal weight) DH. So are my (adult, normal weight) children. So are all my "normal" friends!

I know it is a bit different for me as I am no longer trying to lose but my experience throughout this journey has been that weight gained in a few days like this goes very quickly.

Thank you band for letting me be normal.
