I feel your pain. This is hard physically, mentally and emotionally. The loss of food (my only addiction) has been so devestating to me. Now I feel obsessed with losing weight and making a real effort to steadily lose. It's been 6 weeks and I haven't hit a wall yet but if I did I'd probably flip out. I think all your doubts are completely normal. And we are all gonna slip up everyonce in a while. But you have to learn to forgive yourself and keep moving forward. As long as your making a conscious effort, I really don't think you can fail.

I wanna tell you what I did the other day. I was with my family (who are constantly eating) and my brothers were eating potato chips. Without even thinking I picked one up and put it in my mouth. It was easily the best thing I've eaten in the last 2 months. The flavor was so intense, I ate those chips until I physically had to stop. I probably had about a handful. Well afterward I felt intense remorse. And I even wondered if it was possible I could have gained weight due to this "mini binge."

But then I thought about it. So what if I had a handful of chips. Before this surgery I use to eat a family size bag in one day plus fast food about 3 times a day plus a trip to a buffet plus a huge home cooked meal with everything deep fried and slathered in butter...Catch my drift? Nobody is perfect and everybody slips every once in a while. You just need to pick back up where you left off and keep up the good work and the lbs will come off in no time! Good luck

This is a lifestyle change. You cant stress over every calorie we put in our mouths. A handful of chips on occassion is no big deal. A handful of chips every day, i would be worried. We always forget this isnt a diet that we will be on forever. how many of us will be able to go without chips forever? not very many unless you really didnt like chips. if you stress over the food, do extra workouts to makeup for it. Please dont beat yourselves up! even if you eat 1500 calories it is still probably 2000 less than what you used to eat!
