It's clear all of these work happy hours are stressful for you because you are all losing your jobs! It also sounds like alcohol is a trigger for you. Can you go to these parties and not drink? Plan ahead for something low-calorie you can drink and/or eat, or eat something before you go. You are well aware that those outings are not going well, and I know you can come up with some strategies to deal with them. <br /><br />I think Cheri's point is very good too, that you may be eating too little on many days so that you are having some backlash binges. That happens to me too. Maybe you need to eat just a little more healthy, protein-rich foods on a regular basis, even if it means slower weight loss.<br /><br />I'm still struggling with these things myself, so I will try to take my own advice!Connie Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468852786414783081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803475906198606777.post-58429761032763120682013-04-15T20:42:14.688-07:002013-04-15T20:42:14.688-07:00Everybody said everything I wanted to say, so I...Everybody said everything I wanted to say, so I'll keep it short...<br />You're doing wonderfully.

Why don't you ask him what his suggestion is for how many calories you should be eating per day? I find when I overly restrict my calories, it sets me up to want to binge later. :-( <br /><br />I think you have done great, and you'll figure this out, like you have the other challenges. It stinks to have setbacks, but they are where we learn, and good on you for honestly evaluating the data and fighting back to figure out what you need to do. :-)<br /><br />Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021424631132894016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803475906198606777.post-65963706700866140512013-04-15T17:58:34.271-07:002013-04-15T17:58:34.271-07:00Don't get down.

Try a fill. It helped me recently and I was convinced it would not since I was eating snacky type foods. <br /> <br />It sounds like social events are where you have the most trouble- you need to have a plan in advance for that. <br /><br />Remember, your blog is for you. Don't worry about if it is just a plan or something some days. Do what helps you.

Most of us step off the wagon for a second or two... just make sure you get back on and that you are driving! <br /><br />Chin up!

You are't perfect, none of us are...some days we make good choices some day bad. The key is to not use a few bad choices become a reason for continuing down the wrong path. You need to figure out what your triggers are (maybe eating out) and not do that until you have better control. I know for me it's having sweets in the house. If there aren't there I won't go buy them, but if there's any in the house I'll binge until it's gone. We are all learning, so don't beat yourself up.

Well, exercise does not burn off as ma...Hi Chris! <br /><br />Well, exercise does not burn off as many calories as the popular estimates say. They have loads of research on that--that exercise calorie expenditures currently listed are far too high. No one, including not me or you, can exercise off a binge, unless you exercise an entire day away. I estimate that my 2 hour weightlifting sessions burn 200 to 250 extra calories. I believe that my 2 1/2 hour run/cardio/yoga Saturdays might burn off 250 to 300 calories. That's it. Calculate your exercise expenditure to be those kind of numbers. When in doubt, calculate it on the low side.<br /><br />I personally don't know how much help lap bands are or aren't, but you might still have to use other tools like careful food journaling, maybe a weight loss support group, and more strategic eating such as severely limiting carbs. It looks up there as though you had rather severe carb cravings, which can be relieved by eating more protein and hardly any refined carbs. <br /><br />But on the positive, you can *totally* do this! I'm rooting for ya! :D <br /><br />:-) Marion<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803475906198606777.post-25564703871464228872013-04-15T11:37:02.898-07:002013-04-15T11:37:02.898-07:00So, what is going on emotionally with you?
