RE: Regarding sugar... (Lyn G)

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to add that I too had a hard gain this past summer (2 years)

and eating about like you described -- to much quantity spread out over the

day -- tolerance for sugar that was just awful -- and quickly found myself

way out of control after all that time building up good habits... they just

slipped away SO fast it was unbelievable...

It is HARD to post that here -- it is HARD to tell everyone that " Hey, I

messed up BAD " but I think it is so important for those of us who have to

say so and to share the HOW we did it so bad -- so quickly -- and to share

how we got back on track and so on...

I also just wanted to " support " Lyn for sharing her part -- say, " Your not

alone... I did it too "

It has never been so hard to loose weight as it was to loose the extra

pounds that I put on last summer -- I couldn't diet like pre-op (that

doesn't work ya' know) I had to pick up my " tool " and use it again

diligently and that was 100 times harder to do this time than it was the

first time. I am still (after 10x more work than before) 4.5 lbs over my

goal weight and don't even know if I'll loose that or not.

MEANING... it is TOO RISKY to loose the good habits to start with -- we

gain really fast and taking it off is VERY hard -- rather we even will get

it all back off or not is still in question for me... I haven't yet -- I am

back into my jeans (thank Goddess) but still up from my ideal weight so...

*sigh* If you don't have to travel this road... DON'T... it is hard and

nothing but hard -- Keep telling yourself... make post it notes -- whatever

you have to do to STOP... tell yourself over and over... NOTHING taste as

good as feeling thin feels... being healthy feels and being in control

feels... NOTHING tastes THAT good -- spit it out, throw it away, get rid of

it... don't eat it.. it does NOT taste that good!!!!

That's what I have to keep telling myself over and over and if in question

then I go put on a pair of tight jeans and then -- when they are so tight it

hurts to sit down I can stand there and look at " that " food and wonder if it

is worth unbuttoning my jeans so I can eat it... never forgetting that last

year -- these jeans were LOOSE on me!!!!

hugz all who have traveled this road and all those who don't have to,

It took me TWO weeks to go public with the Peeps incident. But if I hadn't,

I wouldn't have those extra sets of eyeballs to help keep me on the straight

& narrow.

I know there are many here who don't subscribe to that theory. I would

prefer not. But to maintain my goal (healthy weight that feels good on me),

I can't pretend I don't have this disease. I have to KNOW where my limits

are, and quit trying to pretend they are not limits.

Sugar is a red flashing beacon for every pound I've ever lost to find me

again. HERE SHE IS! COME ON BACK!

Umm, I can accept " rules " I write for myself.

I don't have to like them, but I have just the 2 choices.
