I gained 10 lbs....

[ACE]

I am not stressing really about it but its just a fact that now isnt so bad as it used to be. I am not freaking out saying OMG I gained 10 lbs i need to eat more (like i used to. then gain like 40 on top of the 10 that freaked me out). NO now I am able to simply get on the scale after seeing my clothing getting tighter and see that I am 175 instead of 165. Ok so what does that mean? It means I need to get my ass back in gear because to me it does say in my brain " I am getting fat again" but its doesnt take me on that roller coaster of emotions and guilt eating anymore. Its been three and a half years since my surgery. I was terrified of regaining weight before surgery I felt I might be the only person this doesnt work for but then i realized threw the journey its not the sleeve that doesnt work its me. If I dont work my lifestyle changes then I will not succeed. In recent weeks I have been sitting a lot not exercising due to a foot injury. The last few weeks have sucked because I also am still recovering from a hysterectomy and that has my emotions all messed up and at times I feel like i was just depressed eating but I have learned to recognize those moments and stop them pretty fast. But now my foot is almost healed the stitches are out and I can put my weight on it again so today is my back on track restart. Time to get moving and less eating.

This is the time to nip things in the bud...you have realized this which is clearly the first step! Put 1 foot in front of the other in pretty soon those 10 pounds will be history! You've come too far to do anything less than that

It's been just over 3 years since my surgery and I've gained 7 lbs. I'm upping my exercise and dealing with new bad habits (drinking wine and eating between meals) I'm trying to nip it in the bud too before 7lbs turns into a stone. Good luck!! Personally I've found it more of a struggle since I hit 3 years post op!
