I think I would consider a milkshake as liquid, if you are making it with skim milk and no sugar added ice cream. Anyway, don't be so hard on yourself, anyone with weight issues have already beaten themselves up enough. It is all a matter of re-learning, it is good that you reconize that you are na emotional eater, I was as well and journeling has become a very effective tool, to help me work through these issues..remember if your eating..what's eating you? Through therapy , journeling and prayer, I have been able to indetify the triggers and then been able to respond in a healthy way. I know you will have victory over this as well, blessings

Hi, I am headed for surgery on Monday, would like support from someone who has been there.. I have been waiting for 2 yrs for this day to arrive, and I am very excited, looking forward to living life again and having energy to enjoy it. I have used food and my obesity to hide behind, I am one of "those happy" ones, you know if she only lost weight... she's a great gal, too bad she is xxx lbs, she has a pretty face, ect Those days are done, I am here, a thin, healthy strong woman is about to emerge, will I even recognize her? I will embrace her so many changes, I am determined to flow through the changes This is me taking care of myself, for once ..The only place for me to rest is in the Hands of my Creator, He knew my form when I was still in my mother's womb.. I want to live, I want to be and I want to enjoy the life God has gifted me with, each day is a blessing, and for that I am so grateful. :thumbdown:
