CraftyChristie 62 Posted April 27, 2010 yes exactly pnw218 .... and Phatcurves, just one more point... I want you to know that I don't say these things because I want to be right, or make some point, or tell you want to do... it is only that I care and I can tell you're struggling and I'd love to see you help yourself out of the situation and find more happiness. Big hugs to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stcyt 15 Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I don't just like food I use it to numb discomfort, or to heighten good moods. Today I very impulsively stopped and bought a small fry and a small milkshake and then like a giant sneak sat in the back of a parking lot and ate 4 fries and four bites of that shake. Wannalise. I know what your saying. Its not the fact that you ate it (our sleeves keep overeating from being a real problem) it WHY you ate. You were seeking the food numb. It really is a drug for us. I use food the same way, to numb, check out. I don't think its necessarily a bad thing to want to numb ourselves sometimes. Its probably human to need that release. Maybe we just need to find another way to get there like meditation, yoga, extreme sports. Guilt is the enemy. Phatcurves My 2 cents on the relationship thing. You'll make a move when its time. Listen to your gut and trust yourself. Take care Stacey Edited April 27, 2010 by stcyt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TiffanyIsMajor 1 Posted April 27, 2010 Ehhh I packed on like six pound before surgery...eating everything. I really didnt even follow my preop diet because I was missing food already. I felt the same was...guilty, but I loved the food. I was the heaviest I have ever been on my life on surgery day, and I came out "fine", as fine as one can be missing 80% of their stomach and happen to be addicted to food. That is the beauty of this surgery though, You cant sit and gorge...It is impossible, youll die a painful death...I took a swallow of Water the other day that was too large and was mad for an hour about it...You'll do fine, promise = D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
