Hi, my name is Thom, I am 45 years old and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I heard about this diet from a friend of mine. I believe I have tried nearly every diet known to man over the years. I even had RNY bypass surgery back in 2001. At my worst, I weighed 400+ pounds. After surgery I lost 155 pounds. I have since regained 15 pounds. My biggest problem is snacking. I do snack on sweets, so I guess I struggle with two of the S's. Since I've had bypass surgery, seconds is not a problem. I typically, do have seconds or thirds, but that's because I always take really small portions. I don't know how much I will tolerate at any given time. Sometimes, I can only eat half a burger and a few fries. Other times I can eat a full burger, fries and a salad. Never can I eat more than the normal person would consider a full plate. I do have a problem with overly sweet, overly greasy or high carb foods. That is a result of the surgery. It is a by product that helps you lose weight. My goal is to lose another 60 pounds. I've been walking about a mile a day. I am struggling with the no snacking rule. Having said that, it is easier to deal wit when I know it's only for a few days and then I get a break. Enough ramblings, that's my story thanks for listening. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
