regained 20 lbs in 2 years ... Trying very hard to get back to

basics. I know the rules, the supplements, the protein drinks .. I'm

doing all that, exercise .. the thing is I feel like I've pushed that

envelope, that limit .. I know where it is and I know I can get to it

again .. which is the daily temptation I face .. resisting it .. the

lure of food .. just as I did as a preop ... Some days I win the

battle, some days I lose.

I don't go to McD's or BK, but because of my love of hamburgers and

the whole eating with a bun experience, it took me over 2 years to

realize that the bun was making me feel like chit. Now, I will go

into a restaurant or diner and order the burger on a plate, with or

without fries, but giving up that bun was tough for me. I still do a

few fries, but can't really handle too many.

I did realize recently that bread is my trigger food. I can eat

pasta or fries, but bread makes me overeat, especially if it's a

sandwich. If only we could buy one or 2 slices, rather than having

to buy a whole loaf.
