3 yr WLS anniversary.
A little over a year out, and your words about addictions are hitting me where I live. I worked outdoors in the oilfield all summer and due to the heat and the level of exertion over a very long work day, I could eat whatever I wanted and still lose weight. So I ate whatever I wanted. Now I'm back to my regular sedentary, indoor job and I still want to eat carbs. Christmas cookies in the break room kicked my ass today. I'm not gaining any, but I'm not losing either. And I really need to get down about 40 more lbs. I'll keep coming back here for inspiration. But I don't anticipate running any marathons. Maybe a 10k one of these days.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
congrats scott. been there done that! hey, try not to freak about the eating. muscle will burn a lot more than fat. it really is true. i can eat a lot more and not gain because it's fueling the muscles. so how good did that bs sound?
what really struck a chord was two things. being better, which wls do make you feel good and then addiction. i'm into sugar and coffee now. i actually go out of my way to find a homemade apple fritter! yep, my boss flew out last week and he has the same addiction. we found a mom and pop donought shop and scarfed fritters. then washed it down with coffee up the ying yang. as i recall, weren't you ******g in your ice cream? i may have to whip it out and do that to the display case at the store!
hang in there. i've seen you conquer everything that has ever been thrown your way. i can't even count all the accomplishments you've shared over the years both personal and physical. just remember those moments and i bet you'll do just fine. so continued success in your weight loss, fatherhood and congrats to marrying that gal. way to go! carbonblob
