Be gentle with yourself. Give yourself time to heal from the wisdom teeth. Also take time to think about the positive things in your life. I have a "happy box" with a list of things and other things that make me happy. I also go and do something for myself such as get a manicure, pedicure, or a massage.

Thanks for sharing. I am encouraged by your story.

Wow, very inspiring story!

Wow! Amazing! I am currently 263, 5'10. I look forward to looking so good next year! Thanks for posting!

I had gastric bypass and had to drink protein shakes for the longest time to get in all of my protein. Many of the nutrition places will allow you to go in and sample the protein shakes that they sell. Just make sure you know if they are using water, milk, etc to mix it up. I still use the UNJURY brand of protein from…

I have had the full Roun Y Gastric Bypass Laproscopically (?). I have had very little complications. I personally needed to have it done. I needed to come to "The End of my Rope" and take all excuses away as to why I haven't lost the weight. It has grounded me mentally so that when I start to gain, I now look at the issue…

Think of it as an investment in you! The more support you can obtain, the better your success. I agree totally that weight loss is highly mental (thoughts). Find time for yourself. You can only give so much of yourself before you are depleted. This is your time to concentrate on you! I am willing to be friends and help…

I have had many hours of counseling with an eating therapist that specializes in Binge eating. I have learned to be honest with myself and voice what I need, what I want, et . When I am tempted to binge I ask myself why I am sabatoging my efforts to lose weight. In September, I finally got myself straightened out (no I…

I am 266 pounds and have about 90 pounds to lose. You can add me if you want.

I thought I was until two things happened, 1) After stopping drinking regular pop, I dropped 18 pounds in one week! 2) per Biggest Loser, regular pop has 15 teaspoons of sugar in each can! Would you eat 15 teaspoons of sugar on a regular basis.

Great topic. I have been experiencing the same thing recently. For me, the weight was a way to "hide" from the world areound me. Nobody notices a "Fat girl" other than to make fun of her....Anyway, our minds do weird things. I lost a lot of weight before and was about 60 pounds away from goalj. Everyone was oohing and…

Wow! How inspirational. When I reach my goal I will have lost around 240 pounds myself. Your photos have truly inspired me! Thanks for sharing.

I am a "recovered" binge eater. I went through many years binging, never purging. I would buy $40.00 worth of junk food and eat it in one evening. I had a tough time working through my reasons for binging. I went to an eating therapist that specializes in Binge eating. I explored the reasons behind it and dealt with them.…

i am in!!!

Great insight. I have a sign on the top of my computer, "Just don't go there!" If I could eat only one cookie, etc, I wouldn't be in the place I am right now. However, I am one of those that just one leads me to great quantities and to mental Chaos! Way to take charge of your life!

I have found that I really have to limit my white flour and sugars over all or I go crazy craving sugar and other fattening items. The first week cutting back, I was a little shaky and tired, but after a week, I didn't have the cravings and my cravings are almost extinct. I have a personal motto that helps me, "Is eating…

I would like to join also. Thanks!
