Started my journey in August of 09. Best thing I have done for myself. Got to my goal weight of 146 in less than a year. Just in the last year I have put back on 20 pounds. I still feel great and not unhappy but very frightened that I have put some weight back on. I sometimes feel as though I am losing control. I exercise with a Zumba class at least three days a week and bowl in a league two days a week. I try and watch everything I eat and try to prepare healthy meals. Some days I just feel defeated. I keep telling myself to look how far I have come and not get into the cycle of feeling sorry for myself. I know that I have to keep my emotions under control or I will spiral out of control. i am an emotional eater. I eat when I am happy, sad or bored....I hope my writing down how I am feeling will help me put my emotions in the right directions. I should be so happy and I am but I guess I feel like I am failing cause I can't keep myself in positive light I need to be in. I seem to always put myself down. See already doing it....okay enough of that. I am going to do this I will not fail. Listen to me I will not fail.......

Don't beat yourself up for gaining 20 lb. So you have 20 lb to lose and thats a heck of a lot better than 120 lb.
CONGRATULATIONS on your successful weight loss and WELCOME to the Forum!!!
I was extremely overweight most of my adult life and my RNY saved my life.
Celebrate and enjoy your life! 146 or 165 lb. And you are still much slimmer and heathier than you were before. Maybe go on a clear liquid diet for a few days to shock your system into dropping some weight. Think about if you are eating the right foods but maybe too big portions or maybe not over eating but rather high calorie foods, possibly fast foods?
Good luck,
Cheyenne
