Aloha Canlady,
You realise that you have lost 74 pounds so far? That is something to be very proud of.
Now this head hunger, your obesession with food, go to the library and look up the articles that Kaye wrote about head hunger. The operation was the easy part of this Life, it's all that mental head stuff that is hard to deal with.
Look at what is going on in your life. What is causing you stress? Why are you self distructing? Find another outlet for your stress.
Seek counseling if you can, if not visit the Neighborhood often. Get immersed in the Library, reach out for support, post cause as you help others you will find that you will be helping yourself too.
Fill yourself with protein, good protein first. Sip lots of water. Walk, walking is exercise.
Throw out the chips.
Why not be afraid of food? Bad food. You know what it will do to you. I look at food like medicine, medicine I take to stay healthy, medicine I take so I can do all the things I can do now that I am no longer obese. It's a mindset. Do you eat to live, or do you eat to die?
Simple as that.
We have to take care of this body we have, we only get one body, no more this body we have no place to live.
Choose to live.
You can do it. Look how far you came, you are a success, not a failure. What you are facing now is what each one of us have faced or will face soon, it's how you choose to deal with this part of the struggle after WLS that's important.
Today is new day. You fall down, get your butt up and start over again now.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupah duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupah hugging you.
