,

Your note reminds me now to report in off my gain/loss issues -- just a

" for the record " because people DO watch (including me!) All the why and how

and timing and so on of what happens out here...

Ok, (short) I gained the weight (16lbs is officially what I'm claiming from

my # at the gym last year to my number at the gym this year -- same time,

same scale) My jeans no longer fit and that was my " panic button " -- each

person has a different one but my " goal " (long term) is to wear the same

jeans year after year and when that blew up in my face (or on my butt as the

case may be....) I was no longer at " goal " (I didn't count goal by pounds)

I've jump started for 4 days (water & protein only) just to clean out my

body from the carbs/sugar and junk food stuff (it's really more of a mental

thing for me...) it was sort of hard but when I felt like putting something

in my mouth I just ran and tried on my jeans again.... that totally helped

renew my resolve. On the 5th day I started back at the gym with a trainer

and I added very selective food back to my daily eating plan.

My eating plan has to be a heart healthy diet (not actually a diet but food

choices.) So, going back to the beginning I selected bulk proteins first and

one complex carb (green beans) each day.

It's been since 11-18 that I buckled down and started seriously " stopping "

the choices I was making and began the liquids only... then I got back to

the gym and began adding solids back (just like at the beginning, one at a

time...)

Just to keep it short, I have jump-started my weight loss again, last

Friday (week ago) I was down 5 lbs (same scale at the gym) and I'll check

again today.... several days ago I put on MY jeans and am able to wear them

again... a tad tighter than I like them but that does serve to remind me not

to nibble which has really come in handy considering the holiday.

I don't suggest anyone else do this -- it is what I had to do for myself

(after I was scoped and KNOW my mechanics are good) it's working for me and

I feel a lot better too (extra energy and just feeling better.)

Current goal -- to get my " size " back, to get my diet back to heart healthy

choices and to keep up the weight baring, yoga and other exercise choices

that I enjoy doing.... it has helped me to remember too that size isn't a

number but a " feeling " and this is helping me to feel better -- different

things work for different people -- this is just me... my thing and what is

working for me.

My HG only happened for a " phase " of about 4 months between my year / 18

month period and passed and hasn't come back -- but, I did have those

" phases " before surgery so I don't really associate it with the surgery in

and of itself.

I have a strong family history of type II diabetes by my age (42) but

haven't gotten it yet myself. I was in early stage " symptoms " when I had my

surgery (39) but it didn't develop yet. I haven't been symptomatic since

surgery for that.

I know that no matter how long I get to live in a thin body it will take

commitment from me daily to keep my obesity in remission (along with all the

other co-morbs)

*******, I didn't mention this here, but I, too had a gain of 5

pounds several weeks ago, enough to put me in that almost panic

mode. I do know that it was due to a junk food binge. I didn't

mention it here because it was in the midst of the RH and diabetes

thread, and really seemed rather insignificant compared to what was

happening with some people. Anyway, I did the water & protein for

only 1 day, and 3 pounds came off, then careful eating the following

days, and another pound gone. I've since had a TT, and surgery can

do strange things, but I'm still only up 1 pound, so I'm not really

worried.

********I guess sometimes we all need that wakeup call that we are

not normal, and will never be normal. If there are pounds out

looking for a place to live, we are the poundage homeless

shelters. :))

*********Yes, this is my fear factor. My hope for all of us is to

always have that fighting chance.

Good one Les! Well..to report in...3 1/2 of the mysterious pounds have gone

back to wherever it was they came from...who knows? I'm still being good!

Maybe it's paying off in the long run. My body is trying to do it's old

thing...but is lacking the where-with-all to complete the task. Let's hope,

huh? I am now at my high " comfortably allowable " weight. Like said,

it isn't about a number...but where I start feeling comfortable again.

Honestly..my tummy was beginning to protrude..and my largest size 8's were

getting hard to zip around the middle. Today, I'm back in my 6's...they are

snug...but a good reminder to *stay* straight. I have to say this about

myself...I'm proud of me. What used to happen when I would have an

unexplained gain was that I would say.. " okay you got the name...you got the

game " and I would go eat something I shouldn't...and I was off to the

races...hating myself all the more. This time...I held my ground against

it...and thought if I gain this all back...it isn't going to be because of

ANYTHING I did! And nobody else needs to...because I'm patting myself on the

back big time today! Well done..self!! And well done ...I think you

have it licked...this time! There's always a next time for us...but I think

each time we succeed, we are just that much stronger for the next go around.

Still keeping my endo appt. as my problems have not mysteriously vanished

with the pounds unfortunately. I did buy a package of PB crackers to carry

with me....for emergencies. Take care all~

Regards~
