coops 1,790 Posted November 27, 2011 I think this is a NSV... Today my hubby insisted on getting a Mac Donalds - it was a hangover cure for him... yea, whatever! 18mths ago, with no movement on the scales for 5 weeks, I would have joined him saying 'what the hell, this stupid diet isn't working' and gorged myself on a Big Mac Meal - or whatever they are called! Today, however, I did not. The smell made me feel sick. The look of the food made my stomach turn. The whole idea of eating that sh*t and paying good money for it repulsed me. I have never looked at food in that way before. I am soooo proud of myself as I have been a little down and stressed lately that I didn't use food as a comfort and a friend. Instead, I have the sleeve and my health as my friend and they are both nicer!! 1 Oopsseedaisy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coops 1,790 Posted November 27, 2011 Cheers Cludgie... it has taken a while, but I am learning that food isn't a good way to feel better.. oh, and as a foot note... I didn't have a hang over... I haven't had an alcholic drink since July! I will have a few tipples over Xmas, but it doesn't bother me at all now!! Happy Days! =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations!!!! You're an inspiration!!!!! Hey mnbsleeve! Thank you for your kind words... I can tell you that, that morning really was a defining moment for me! It is possible to get rid of destructive thoughts and actions... something I have never really focused on before! Now, if I want something that is considered a treat or a 'waste of calories' it is a very conscious decision! x 1 Oopsseedaisy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
