Cant Stop...



Recommended Posts

I can't stop thinking about food! I'm not even hungry! I'm finding I'm really unproductive at school because all I think about is when lunch is! And when I think about food I come on here for encouragement but it's really distracting me from my responsibilities :( anyone else? I posted in the twenties forum because I want to know if other people my age are being distracted from their school work? And I didn't realize my attachment to food was as deep as it is! Is your addiction stronger than you thought it was? Does the obsession go away or get better?

Don't worry! So far I've been quite good at following my plan despite the psychological hurdles! The pain of overeating trumps my food addiction!

invest in learning about your diet, find recipes, get the scoop on health, all this can replace whats been your thoughts and you'll build a contrast while getting used to lesser sized meals, small not as gratuitous meals by rebuilding what you have thought with all new perspectives, a satisfieing healthy meal with veggies and good flavors can start to fill that gap better and making sure its all nutricious keeps the hunger at bay and you'll not need obsess so in the future.

I actually have had the opposite problem i forget to eat. I focus now more on school than ever. Changing your way of thinking isnt gonna change over night. It is possible and if you need some encouragement or advice just message me.

It takes time to change. I really do like the suggestions about researching and finding more healthy nutritionist food. Focus on small portions and eating a spoon of this and a spoon of that. Don't forgot to eat ur Protein first.

When at school thinking about food refocus on ur classes. Tell ur self no. Plan ur food the night before. :)

Feel the same way! Everything revolves around food and it makes it hard. I've hit a hard time where all I want to do is eat. I'm not hungry, can't eat much but every few hours I want something. If you need to talk let me know!

I'm feeling the same way, looking at the clock to see if its time to eat yet. It's hard and I bought a book called "skinny thinking". It's supposed to help with the mental part of changing food addiction. I will let you know if it helps, other than that I go to support groups to talk about it

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
