Everyone has great advice! I will add to set small, baby step goals. Think about your next meal and what you should eat. Not the whole day. Congratulate yourself for each goal met! You aren't failing, you are succeeding! Another tactic, is to try to change one small thing for a few days, then add another goal. For…

I agree with the posters above... but would suggest to work for those beers. Maybe get 50-100 calories MORE than usual each day by exercising. Set solid, realistic goals for yourself. Cut your daily calories by 50, if your current calorie allowance allows it. But - and this is important - you must earn those beers BEFORE…

I am 2.5 yrs out and had similar concerns. I can eat junk foods with no restriction. But, if I eat meat, I certainly can't eat very much. How much steak, chicken or pork can you eat in a meal? If you try that test, it may reassure you that you haven't stretched your sleeve.

I am 2.5 yrs out, and can tolerate everything. For the first year or so, if I ate ice cream I got that stomach ache like when you were a kid and gorged yourself on too much candy. But now it is fine. I get slightly nauseous if I take one or two bites too many... but it passes in a few minutes.

I am 2.5 years out, and have gained a significant amount back. Would like to lose 50-60 pounds. I am very ashamed, and need all the support I can get! I am looking for friends, so feel free to add me!
