COMPULSION to eat?

[Melissannde 41]

Crispaholic, regarding the apples & pears, have you tried peeling them first? Sometimes fruit peelings agree with me and other times they just cause discomfort. I never know which it's going to be, so I peel most of the time. Probably a good idea anyhow with all the pesticides that are sprayed on apples.

Good Luck.

Thanks Melissannde......no I have not peeled them....I bought one of those ready made fruit cartoons in work with prepared fruit.....I threw up after eating a slice of apple, piece of pineapple and two grapes! I will bring a fruit knive with me...luckily in Ireland we don't really spray with pesticides so our fruit is not perfect and shinny as the fruit in the USA :smile2: .....thank you for your advice....I was trying to eat the skins as the dietican told me I should eat the skins for 'crunch texture'.....I just got fed up trying to eat the dam apple I threw it away :thumbup:

I don't know if it is a compulsion, I like to refer to it as "head Hunger" even though I am not hungry, I get an idea in my head I want something and it is so hard to get that thought out! I was banded 12/20/08 and am to goal with 90 pds lost. I do splurge now and again so as to not be obsessed about having something and go up and down 2 pds but I can live with that and am so much happier in life since losing this weight. I don't know if the head hunger ever goes away, but like they have said here, we do have some control with having the band, thank you whoever invented the band to begin with!!!
