Frustrated Topic


I've been logging my food religiously, staying within my calories. I've made no food off limits. For me, taking something away because it's bad makes me want it more. I'm not much of a vegetable fan, however, I do use 2 scoops of powdered veggies to get the nutrients. I had gastric bypass surgery 22 years ago. Lost 150lbs and kept it off 11 years. Then the yoyo started again. I would not recommend gastric bypass. I do not absorb enough nutrients especially vitamin D and Iron. Anyway....i am up 3 lbs this week. I just want to give up. Right now exercise is not possible because of health issues.

Ok, venting helped. I need to go make rice for my Mediterranean salad tonight. Have a great day all.


I'm the same way, I can't tell myself something isn't allowed or it's all I'll think about. Hang in there!
