I just had a big click in my head!

One of the tenets of a 12 step program is that as you recover you need to give back support to others.  In giving back support you are also helping yourself continue to heal.  

I left the boards for a

Hi everyone :)  I used to be on these boards a lot.  I have migrated to doing a lot of crossfit and just need a lot more fuel to support my gainz -- positive gym based gains ;)  I'm the strongest that I have ever been in my life.  

I'm back to

Hi All! 

I had my VSG a few years ago.  My husband is having the same procedure in about a week and a half with Dr. Ramos Kelly.  Does anyone have any tips / tricks for the companion of someone going through this?  

Also - how was your

Well last week started off really well.  The weekend, a wedding and mothers day - were fun! but not great on the diet.  I ended up losing 1.3 lbs for the week, so I guess it is a success.  Here's to another week -- gotta tighten up a bit again!

Ugh - my day didn't start out so great.  I also don't have much of a plan for the rest of the day -- so came here to make one!

B - chicken wings (huh?)

S - chike

L - bacon, eggs & brussel sprouts

Wow that scale was super nice to me this morning.  I'm hoping it keeps in that direction :)  I've been doing well getting back on track!

B - chike

L - meeting a friend at corner bakery - not sure

Wohoo -- 197.8 on the scale today.  Inching back away from the crazy 200 mark.  

Plan for today:

Woah!  I woke up this morning to 199 on the scale.  Eek - wake up call.  

I was in vegas last week where the food choices weren't great.  Then on Friday I was called into work to be let go!  Eek - stressful weekend to say the least.</

What's on the menu today?

Ugh -- so it happened to me.  I'm about 2.5 year out (not quite).  And a year and 4 months out from plastic surgery and I've fallen into the regain group.  

I'm still exercising a lot and recently started crossfit.  I want to say it is muscle g

It's my first post in the 'grads' forum. I thought some of you might be able to help.

Ugh! I'm really struggling with carb crazvings (the z when in there as a typo, but they are crazy cravings so I'll go with it). I don't want to l

Ugh! I'm really struggling with carb crazvings (the z when in there as a typo, but they are crazy cravings so I'll go with it). I don't want to lose a lot, only about 5 lbs, but I want the cravings to stop.

I think I need to cut out sugar s

I hope everyone is doing well! I haven't been on the boards here in a while, but I used to be constantly! I got a new job and a boyfriend and time has just been super busy.

I'm still paying close attention to my diet -- as I will forever!

I remember ignoring the scale. Planning on starting on Monday. Monday coming and maybe sticking to it for a day or two then messing up and letting myself lose a week or two just completely having whatever I wanted.

Now I am far from perfect

Well 20 months out things still aren't easy.  The cravings come back, the hunger comes back and I can eat more.  It is no where near as hard as it was before.  While I get hungry and can eat more I still can not do anywhere near the damage I did before

At work people are pushing food constantly -- and I'm constantly saying no.  They question why and I say I'm dieting / need to lose a few lbs and they just say WHY you  are tiny.  

I have become that woman who wants to lose 3 lbs.  I used to th

Well I am 0.5 lbs away from my cieling weight.  So hopefully within the next week I am back a few lbs below there!

I have hit 175 this morning.  Boo!  My original high weight threshold was 185, then I dropped it to 180 and then 175.  I hit that this morning -- no surprise w/ the fried green tomatoes, frogs legs, fried cheesecase, funnel cake and fried candy bars al

i haven't posted much in a while.  Things have been crazy - new job, house broken into - assaulted, broke up with my boyfriend, dealing with emotional food issues and my nutritionist trying to force bread into my diet, Blackhawks getting into the Stanl
