I posted this three days ago and I am already feeling better. It is difficult to have such a drastic lifestyle change but we chose this for a reason - to be healthier! I don't want to sit on the sidelines of my life anymore. I would rather be able to do things with others than eat a whole pizza by myself. It is definitely a mourning process and incredibly difficult to come to terms with. But you will eat more than 6 teaspoons again and you will enjoy food again! It's not the easy way out, it's very difficult and mostly a mental battle. Hang in there!
