really bummed and need to rant. . . slowq looser

I apologize up front for this ranting, but I'm really bummed out right now (partly hormones, I'm sure). I am 6 1/2 months post-op and have had to literally fight for every pound. While I'm pleased with my loss (-100), it hasn't come easy. I read, everyday, on here about people who eat at Taco Bell and various other fast foods, or they're eating spagehetti, potato, sub sandwiches, etc., and I can't believe they are losing weight! I have not had any bread, rice, pasta or potato or sugar since my surgery. I stay totally compliant. I get in all my protein, water and exercise. I decided early on that I was going to be as compliant as possible until all the weight was off and then MAYBE add a little more carbs. BUT, I don't think I will be able to. I have hit a plateau and nothing seems to work. I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself because it seems as though so many people eat whatever they want and still seem to lose. I still need to lose 30 to 40 lbs. and I really, really wanted it off by the end of the year (preferably by Thanksgiving). I don't see that happening. I am going to work extra hard working out and drinking even MORE water and see if that helps. By the way, I know my profile is not updated, so please don't scold me. I just needed to have a pity party for a minute. Anyone else in this same boat? Thanks for listening.
