Having a hard time....so, I've made a decision

Hello All, Lately I have been having such a hard time with my eating habits. I have been eating all  the wrong things and Thanksgiving didn't help matters. I cooked this large wonderful meal for my family. So, I've made a decision that on Sunday, I am going to go back to my pre surgery meal plan for a week to see if this will help me get jumpstarted back on track again. I am going to do the two protein shakes a day with a sensible meal (protein & veggie only) I will not be doing any snacking in between meals, and I will only eat when I am hungry! I haven't weighed myself lately, so not sure what's happening on the scale, but that is okay because I really don't want to know, I wil find out when I go see the doctor. I am still consitently going to the gym, so I think that is helping me out a lot.  It is so amazing to me how easy it is to slip back to some of those old patterns of behavior so quickly. I was so careful in the beginning to make sure that I was following all the rules, but then I'm not totally sure what happened, but it is okay, because I will be getting back on track.  I'm reminded of the scripture that says, you were running a good race, but who cut in on you (can't remember the address, but I am going to look it up). So for all of us in this weight loss journey, continue to run your race, but be careful not to allow life to cut in on you and get you off track!!! Be encouraged everyone, because I am!!!!! I am fearfully and wonderfully made!!!!!!!!

Good for you. Somethimes we need to break the pattern to get back on track. I wish you well in this and know that with a good attitude and keeping your eye on the prize, you can do it!

Hello im new to this, im trying to find way to post but all i keep finding is how to reply to what yall are saying, i know silly..lol.. help me out.. Im thinking about getting the Lap-Band, im just starting out they said it could take up to six months if my insurance will even approve it.. Is it really that hard to get them to.? And what all do you have to do? I have Blue C / Blue S of Texas.. They said if I had med reason then they might, I know im being treated for High BP and I have been to the dr many of times for my back, my feet hurting so bad.. Im scared out my mind they will say no, I dont want to worry myself sick.. any help I would love..

Thanks Krinannie....I am confident that I will get through this! You must be very excited about your upcoming surgery, congrats!

Good for you-I'm doing a "back to basics" thing similar to yours to help me reset after the holidays.

Good for you too, we are in this together!!!
