Replies to '01/29 Extreme Weight with the Doctors'

I am also on Weight Watchers so I can tell you how I approached the program and maybe it can help you. Remember first , that our bad eating habits took years to develop, so it will take a lot of work to replace with good habits. The first thing I did, was really look at why I started over eating. I realized that food is an addiction for me. The reason that I over eat is to quite my negative feelings. When I over eat I get a high/buzz from it and it feels comfortable because those negative feeling are quieter. So, I have to eat more as the buzz gets less intense after I eat. So, whenever I over eat on the program I write in my journal how I was feeling before I over ate, why I had this feeling and what the plan will be next time I feel this way. I also write down every one of my indulgence's in my WW journal.

 

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,

I am (last week) 3 months post-op from my WLS (Weight Loss Surgery). My surgery was on 10/18 and I weighed 305.  As of last week on my 3 month "surgiversay" I have lost SEVENTY pounds.  I would do it again in a nanosecond.  I am LIVING life!  I'll be 50 in August and I too, have fought weight for most of my life.  I did every diet out there (including Weight Watchers several times) with success.  But it never STAYED off.

 

Look into it.  I have learned a lot from www.obesityhelp.com  Not sure it's "legal" to post that here so I'm sure it will be removed if so.

 

Just get out there and RESEARCH a lot.  Do your homework and ask tons of questions. I did that for a long time before making my decision...

 

GOOD LUCK.  There IS life after being fat and it's wondermous!!!
