break the cycle
I talked to a couple different patients of mine about looking into Lap Band surgery today. I didn't tell them I was getting it done - I haven't told many people. I don't want to feel pressured by the expectations of others (even though I'm usually the one pressuring myself).
We're frequently our own worth enemies, aren't we? Set ourselves up by picking impossible goals, dooming ourselves to failure. Feeling that overwhelming guilt and disgust when we fail again. Guilt, disgust, anger, self-contempt motivating us to try and dull the pain with our favorite coping strategies. Which always includes more food.
Repeat ad nauseum.
