Hello everyone, I haven't been online for awhile. There has been a lot of stress going on in my life. My son is entering his 5th rehab AGAIN! I 'm so stressed and have been turning to food again as before. I have gained 6 lbs. and I am so ashamed of myself. All I want to do is eat candy etc. I'm craving sugar so bad. What should I do? I basically know but I feel so lost and alone right now. Has anyone ever tried the new Alli pill and can we use it? I'm feeling and getting desperate!! Thanks to all of you and hope your lives are going well. God bless us all! Bonnie

nooooooooo. no diet pills. in fact if you read theback it specificaly states it is not for ppl with altered digetive systems LOL! (sorry i thought that was funny)

life is so tough sometimes. and sometimes it gets in the way. but we always find our way back on track. you may not be where you want to be RIGHT NOW, but a little time and a little adherence to the rules and you will get there.

there is no easy way out. no pill, no quick fix, like there was pre-op. therapy works WONDERS.

never be ashamed. shame will keep you away and push you further into binge eating bad stuff. set out a routine for your day. dont buy anything you arent suppose to have. and come on here regularly if you have to. baby steps. routine. rules.

you will be fine. hang in there.

Kenyar, Thank you so much for responding. I do need to go back and read my materials. You look fantastic and are a real inspiration to me. I will do my best and try to follow your advise and wisdom. Apparently it works cause look how great you are!! Thank you sweetie...Hugs Bonnie

we all slip up. it's important that we notice it and that their are consequences. i think the best way to stay on track to is be supported. stay around here. dont be ashamed of yourself. look how far you have come. you can totally do this. COME ON BONNIE!

I know what you are feeling, wife with cancer, my father had surgery, my brother in law in Rehab and all pilling up in less than 6 months, sure can be confusing and stressing, but remember it is one day at a time, I have also been away from here and until recently I got a grip of myself and worked my thoughts and I rememeber why I had my operation and it was to have a better life, sure there will be other problems but we need to focus because our choice requires us to be 100% sharp almost everyday I have had ups and downs in the last 6 months and yes Sometimes not givin it my best but eventually I come around to remember we have a mission and no matter how easy or difficult the road is just say a prayer every morning and give it your best, that is all we can do. You are not alone....

and boy I have been away for a while ....

This santuary helps everyone you just need to knock and you shall receive

Bonnie, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. We have all fallen off the wagon and I know you can get up and get right back on. You have come way too far to give up.

Hello.. I am so sorry to hear about your trouble. We all get overwhelmed some time. It is then that our old mind set turns to the foods that got us where we were. I am just over 3 mts out but I have learned so much here on this site. I am sure that you can and will get back to basics and start over with the knowledge that you will succeed and get to the goal that you want. We are here for you. In good times and in those old bad times. God bless you and good luck... ((( hugs)))) dixie

Bonnie - wishing you the best. Stress will get you every time. I'm with Kenya. Can you get back to a routine following the rules? Some meditation or relaxation sessions on the internet?

Sorry you are going through so much right now. I too am a stressful eater. I try really hard to grab healthier stuff now. For me it is easier if it isn't in the house. Hope you have a better weekend.

Ibriseno - how is your wife doing? Did she have to have surgery?
