  ...who has been gone for ages but finally returned.  I had a Roux-n-Y in December 2015, lost a total of 83 pounds and then went into a tailspin.  The weight loss stopped because I stopped; I got so comfortable with my new self that I allowed myself to slip back into my old habits and fell away from using all the tools and tricks we need to stay on track.  NOT GOOD!!!  Anyway, I've gained back about 25 lbs but decided it's time to get back on track.  I've worked too hard for too long to...

  Hi everyone!  It's been so long since I've been here that I actually forgot my password.  :-(Anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  A bit about me--12/11/15 was my one-year surgiversary; I had the Roux-en-Y.  I'm 5' 2" and my stats are:  HW 264, SW 245, Lowest W 181 (well, that was Halloween), CW 189 (fell into the holiday treats trap and I'm pissed!!!)  Started at a size 24/26 and am down to a 16/18.  Still have about 35-40 lbs to my goal but I don't have to shop in the...

  The A-word.Yes, THAT word.  Addiction. Call it what you will--transfer addiction or head hunger, it all boils down to addiction.  Is that correct?  I have been learning so much about myself recently by going through my food logs and finding patterns in my eating.  Addiction of various forms runs through my family and that is why I rarely touch alcohol and have never done any type of drugs.  However, I eat.  After looking through my food logs, I can see that I've slipped now and have let...
