One thing my nutritionist said was NO SNACKING! So far I have adhered to that.
She said if I didn't break that habit, I'd be back where I started and my
surgery would be a failure. Last night we had a business meeting at China
Bistro. Their portions are HUGE. I overate and still brought enough home for
2-3 more meals! When I got home I wanted to snack even though I was still full.
I never buy snacks anymore so fortunately I had nothing to snack on AND my
calories were all used up anyway. So I finished my jug of Blueberry Tea and I
was satisfied.
I bought this 64 oz. Jug with a sports lid from Wal-Mart. I make my drinks in
that every day cause I know I have to drink at least that much. In our support
group meeting we learned if we felt hungry, usually we were really thirsty
instead. I found that works for me.

I feel like now that I am over a year out, almost 2 and I can eat almost
anything, it is hard to think I need to go back on shakes. Some days I wish
I could have this done again to get me back to the beginning again. Yes, I
would go through the pain again to keep from gaining weight back. But as
far as a day to day to day thing, I have a hard time with control. Esp in
the evening and sometimes in the morning I think if I start eating, I can't
stop. And I try to tell myself that eating or certain foods are not worth
it but then I have to eat it anyway. It's the same cycle as before I lost
the weight. I really want to stop this before it gets out of hand.

I do think the journaling helps, I saw on GMA yesterday a man who lost over
100 pounds just by journaling for over a year. That's called disciple, of
which, I seem to have none!
