Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hi, all - I hope it's okay to post - my 1 year anniversary is this Tuesday, 1/27. I had open RNY, went in at 5'4 " and 242, and am now about 165. I'm hoping to get to 145, but have been stalled at this weight for at least 2 months. Even better, I have Type II diabetes and have been drug free since 5 days post-op - no diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol or asthma meds at all - Yeah!! I have decided to start doing the South Beach diet, mostly because my dh has been travelling a lot and put on quite a bit of weight, but also because I've been sliding into old, bad habits. Christmas cookies, Girl Scout cookies (I'm a leader/co-leader for 4 troops), snacking all day, even if it's only little things here & there. Part of my problem, I know, is emotional eating. I'm bored and lonely - I ended a friendship with my " best " friend this summer - it was a good thing for me to do - but I am at a loss because she was the person I spent a lot of my time with. I'm a SAHM to 3 daughters and am very busy once 3 p.m. hits and on weekends. But during the weekday, I get lonely. I would appreciate any suggestions to get my eating habits re-directed. I know I can make it to goal, I just need to get my act together. Thanks for listening and allowing me to lurk for the last few months. You all have been a big help! ;-> Barb ********** Barb Deane Scrapbooking - Preserving your memories, one page at a time Leaving Prints Independent Instructor #US1201 http://barbara.deane.leavingprints.us http://www.barbdeane.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
