To all you YO-YO'ers,Why do you feel this time will be different?

Thanks for your responses. My hope is that the sleeve will prevent me from being able to overeat when I do fall off the wagon. So I can eat healthy food but if I decide on a piece of pie every once in a while it would be JUST a piece, not 2 or 3. or if I want toast I would eat a slice not 3! You get the idea.....My sisters, who don't have weight problems are always telling me, "when you put your mind to it you can always lose the weight" but they don't understand that everyday when I am dieting it's like I am one cookie away from total diet sabotage! Then that feeling of "well I blew it now, so hello brownie pan!"  It's hard to take dieting advice from sisters who have never been overweight, do not exercise & I am sweating it out at the gym 5 times a week & while they are planning their next wine & cheese night! ha ha

Why do you gain it back/ Thats what you have to understand. I gained stuff back because I hated feeling deprived. I dont feel deprived of anything except big portions on the VSG I can eat what I want, just in small quantities.

Hi Amanda, Yes I probably always gain it back because I get tired of feeling I CAN"T have something & once I start to eat it, I really get the "all or nothing" attitude. I always have a habit of starving myself to lose weight & can't take the hunger anymore. Like I said, I am an extreme dieter.  All your comments are good ones. Thanks everybody.
