General Discussion / Re: Doug why is it harder

I'm so happy I stopped by tonight.  I've been having cravings and it makes me feel good to know I'm not alone.  I didn't fall off the wagon; had some pork rinds, so I powered through them.

General Discussion / Re: Thinking of having Gastric bypass surgery?? READ THIS FIRST!
« on: August 13, 2013, 06:59:04 PM »
I was having trouble with cravings tonight so I decided to hop over here for inspiration and happened upon this post.  I watch a lot of tv shows about morbidly obese people because I can relate to them (I weigh over 300 pounds).  On a lot of the shows I've seen, the people are putting all their hopes and dreams on gastric bypass surgery.  Most of them need to lose weight before the doctor will even perform the surgery on them.  I've lost and gained a lot of weight in my life and am at the second highest weight I've ever been.  I'd never have the surgery; I knew someone that died from complications of gastric bypass surgery.  Plus I've heard a lot of things about the nasty side effects.  Of course, I can die from being overweight as well.

Girly Girl Talk / Re: Motivation
« on: August 11, 2013, 03:32:33 PM »
Motivation is big for me.  I need to remember that losing weight and feeling better should be a big motivation for me.  When I'm sitting on the couch eating all the stuff that's bad for me, I don't think about how really lousy I feel physically and how much my knees hurt.  That poem really made me feel like I can look at motivation differently and maybe I CAN do this time.

Thank you!!  I had arthritis and no cartiledge in my knees which is why I had the surgery.  It was supposed to help but I'm in more pain now than I was before I had the surgery.  Yes, I have read the book, I have it on my Nook.  In fact, I have tried the diet before but stress made me stray away.  I am a stress eater and I crave sweets.  I am under a great deal of stress because of my job right now.  But I am hopeful that I will be able to make it this time.  I plan to visit the forum a lot more this time; I find a great deal of comfort coming here and reading the stories, especially the great success stories.

I really need to lose weight.  I had double knee replacement surgery almost 2 years ago and am in constant pain.  I am in fear of losing my job because I can't walk well and walking is important to my job.
