This week has been tough, as have the last 2 weeks. Lots of stomach issues and changes of medication trying to figure it out. Not enough exercise either with the stomach pains. 😒

You'll flip that arrow my friend.. hang in there.

Wrong direction again😥 feeling so unfocused but not sure why. There’s Halloween candy everywhere at work and the first holiday event is next week. This is always the toughest time of year for me. So afraid of spiraling🫣

It's ok my friend.. we have a few weeks to lock in before the big end of year scary holidays come

Never apologize. What kind of program are you doing? I know you said it was through work.

It's not through work, that must be something else I talked about and I forget, heehee.

I'm doing a medical bariatric program with my local hospital. It's meant to be 12 weeks of just shakes then transitioning to normal food, total time is 21 weeks. I also am in a group that meets every week and we learn about a bunch of things...there's some CBT and DBT in there. Next week is about exercise.

I am not doing the full 4-5 shakes a day. I'm doing like 2 shakes with food added, because I don't think I could do just the sweet shakes every day, and I feel it's a bit counterintuitive to completely take food out. But my dietician is on board and it's going well so far.

I have a shake for breakfast, eat lunch, have a shake for a snack and eat supper. I sometimes have a snack in the evening, it depends how hungry I am and how late I eat my other meals.

Yesterday I only had 1 shake because I had a satisfying lunch and ate a snack at work, and a nice supper when I got back home.

So I am expecting a big loss this week because of this and for a few weeks (I hope so.) I really hope to get under 350lb by the end of the year. I don't know if that's possible but that would be lovely. Maybe to 325lb by the time I go to Utah in February but I'll worry about that closer to the time lol.

I saw someone was doing a challenge to aim to be a certain weight by Christmas, is that still going on?

Anyhoo, I'm glad I could finally post a long message. It's hard to do it on my phone and I finally logged in on my computer haha.

Question:
We have the holiday season fast approaching. Halloween is in a little over two weeks. That means candy and mini chocolate bars everywhere including being a food cue every time we go to the supermarket. What are your strategies for dealing with Halloween treats?

for me I buy the mini candy bars for my daughter and I buy sugar free ones for me ..easy portion control
