Thanks you guys. I guess to be fair and a little kinder to myself I need to acknowledge that I am extremely different now than before cause I do reign it in more days than I don't. Thanks for your help!

I had RNY in 2014 and I'm struggling. I just posted in three different forums a few minutes ago. I hope you'll read my post and give me your opinion. I'm sending a friend request. We got this!

I so needed to hear this. I've never thought of it that way. Every misstep just means guilt to me. I'm gonna start telling myself this and one day I'll believe it. It's a kind thing to say to yourself.

So cute!!! Congrats proud daddy!!!

This sounds fun. I'm jackibailey.

Just want you to know I'm thinking about you. You sure have been struggling and I really admire your honesty on here. You've just got so much going on all at once right now and that is so difficult. Hopefully when everything is over you can get back on a routine and that may help. Hang in there sweetie.

My medical student son once told me that weight loss is not noticeable at first because the first place you lose weight is around your organs. I really don't know if it's true, but it kinda makes sense.

Weight up to 156 this morning. Was 152 yesterday. I know mostly water, but mentally you know that number on the scale really wrecks my day. Trying not to go crazy and make myself fix it by restricting and over exercising. Stay sane.

Congrats on onederland! So awesome!

I'm so upset! Weight up four pounds since yesterday. Logically I know why. I worked 6-11 last night, came home, took my night meds, and slept eat. That damn ambien. My dr lowered the dose so it's not as bad as it used to be, but between that, and inconsistent schedule at work, and not enough sleep, when I see the scale go…

Good morning sweetie. Working at new job tonight. Looking forward to it. Hope you have a fantastic day!

1) Real name: Jacki 2) Married: yes for 24 years. I'm his third wife. Three times the charm! 3) Kids: three beautiful stepdaughters who live in Utah. Each of them has a kid. Love them all. Then our two-Sarah who's 21 and Zachary who's 19. First time since day I got married that have no kids at home. Lovin' it hehe. 4)…

Had little binges yesterday. Have definitely had worse, but stayed off the scale cause know it'll be up cause of water. Decided not to start my day that way. That's really hard for me to do. Stay off the scale. Going to plan my meals somehow today. Working 6-11 tonight at new job. First time working that shift. Working all…

I've always called myself a scale *kitten* lol.

Well that's a relief lol

Yeah I plan out my meals every morning. I eat the same thing everyday except for dinner. I've tried not being so strict during the day but when I try to change things up it really sends me into a downward spiral. Isn't that just nuts?

Hi. I'm doing okay. Feeling like I really need to control it and not screw up. Already thinking about the food I'm going to allow myself today. Seriously already thinking about how I'm going to eat tomorrow cause it will be third day at new job and I'll be working 6pm to 11pm. I just have this thing with being very very…

My weight back down some after big binge. It happened the first week of April and weight went up six pounds. Unfortunately it's taken me these few weeks of more big binges and a lot of mini binges to get back on track. I didn't weigh myself again till a few days ago cause knew the numbers would trigger me. I really hate it…

@robingmurphy I listened to a podcast this morning just to see what it was like. I've never listened to a podcast before. It was fantastic. Really goes along with my therapy too. I really think this will be a fantastic tool for me. Thank you so much.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

I'm supposed to journal how I'm feeling leading up to the binge. Write down if something happened. Or distract myself with something. Go sit outside in the sun with my dog. There are times that has worked and I stop mid binge and am okay but most of the time I feel like I'm white knuckling it until an actual meal time.

Well you are awesome! I think mine started cause I had body issues from the time I was in elementary school from being abused I guess. I've been dieting my whole life. I've gained and lost hundreds of pounds. And all aspects of eating cause guilt. Restricting, purging, binging. I hate food. I hate thinking about it all the…

Hi. I didn't know anyone replied until yesterday. Thank you. Yeah I feel like I zone out when I binge. And to me it's really weird because I've had gastric bypass and it's like the stuff I eat goes right through my stomach and I can eat more food than I'm supposed to. It's like the restrictions on what I can eat make me…

Thanks. I put my setting on sedentary then after I put my exercise into MFP and do my garmin negative adjustment and I eat back those exercise calories, it puts me pretty close to my TDEE. I think that should help me maintain.

I've sent you both friend requests. I would really really like to keep in touch. I hope you both do too. :smiley:

On the iPhone in where you chart your progress you can delete whatever days weights you want. Just slide your finger to make delete button pop up and press it.

Wow I couldn't imagine eating that many calories. It seems like it would be impossible. But something I'd like to be able to do cause maybe it would help my head hunger.

He just said to maintain within five pounds. I go to him on Friday. I'll have to talk to him again.

You can add me if you want. I've been on mfp since 2011 and I've gained and lost 100 pounds three times. I had gastric bypass in may and have lost 167 pounds since February. I'm looking for supportive friends who won't judge me for the surgery. I still work very hard at weight loss. I walk 3-5 miles nearly every day. I…
