I have a similar worry but more about regain...I guess it is the story of our sad dieting lives. Perhaps you are someone who starts a diet, loses and then stalls? I am someone who loses well then regains it all and then some. There are days I think "this time will be different" then other days my thoughts are more like "why will this time be any different, don't get too excited, you've lost then regained so many time before".

My solution has been to work with a therapist specialized in Bariatric patients. I am trying to address the head stuff that is behind my eating so that THIS time IS different.

I think I had a couplr of days like that when I reached 200 lbs. It must have been a subconscience issue about being over 200. Reaching 199 was such a relief and I couldn't imagine what it would be to weigh less. I have had a goal for each 10 pounds since.

Please keep in mind that the only person who can control what is going on in your head is you...

When you have these thoughts, stop.

Maybe make up a ritual. For instance, when these thoughts come up, stop doing whatever you are doing and perform 6 jumping jacks, or some push-ups. Do something that is positive and induces healthier thoughts...

I went through that a few times... if you do what you are supposed to do the weight will come off... I am a year out and hadn't lost anything in 6 weeks then, bam, I was down another two pounds. Hang in there.
