It took me a long time to overcome food, even after my surgery, I would drink with meals and push the food down, no matter how bad it hurt, to get more down. Ive finally hit the point where food does not control me, I control it and I live to eat, not eat to live anymore, mainly because I cant eat much and have to choose carefully what to eat. It really is a tool, a tool that helps you change your mindset into, i can only eat what will be good for me. Its pretty nice, I spent alot of money on going out to eat and on fast food, and now theres no point, and am saving alot of money for new things that will make me happy instead of food. I think i may make my own like 8 bean soup, and freeze it, that way I know im getting alot of protien out of my lunches, and of course tuna.
