That restriction I didn't think I have....(gross a - So nearly six months out , I keep saying I don't feel restriction. I went to a party tonight, saw a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile. They were all surprised I wasn't thinner...

Calorie fluctuation but same weight? - I am bumfuzzled. I can do 600 cals (albeit not happily) or 1400 cals and my weight doesn't change. I can eat organic, on plan or crap and my weight doesn't change. I did note a key...

Head Games Question - I have been at 189 in the morning and 191 at bedtime for several weeks now. If I eat 600 cals, 1000 cals (like yesterday) or exercise or not and that makes zero sense. Yesterday I ...

Guilt and exercise = looking for suggestions - I used to exercise religiously but was making a lot more income at the time and had a full time nanny/housekeeper. Now I'm at a different job, a lot less income, no nanny/housekeep...

Drinking while eating - don't do it! - Seriously, I think if I had followed this one seemingly minor rule, I'd have lost significantly more. I get super thirsty, always have, and after surgery my mouth felt like cotton ...

Alcohol is evil - So when I drink alcohol (2nd time after sleeve surgery) I have found I'm a food slut. You know like in the early 20's we've all had that friend that drinks one drink and is groping...

I want to eat everything in the kitchen! - OK so I admit to emotional eating. I'm working on it but BOY is it hard. I stopped social drinking and seem to haved picked up private eating at the exact same time. I haven't been...

Evil bran muffins and other "healthy" co - We had two day full meetings. ugh. I was doing SOOOOO well! I hate that I can be weak at times. They rolled in fruit and bran muffins. I knew I shouldn't have one but my morning su...
