can't stop eating crap

[SleeveShelly 75]

For the last few weeks, I can't stop eating anything and everything. I want this more than anything in the whole world, but where has my willpower went? HELP!!!

Hi Shelly

I do understand and its very hard not to allow those bad habits to creep in.... I find myself eating crap at times a piece of chocolate, cookies(animal crackers) chips.... you cant totally deprive yourself but everything has to be done in moderation. I am not quite 2 months postop will be on Feb. 28th. I had a visit with my surgeon office last week shared with his assistant that i find myself eating sweets. I am i believe wanting these things because i can eat them without complications and just dont stop myself.... I believe that we have to not buy these things or skip the desert table at work.... I am trying to find Protein bars that tastes great but is also sweet/salty so that i can take care of my cravings( at least it will be healthier and protein) Best of luck and cant wait to hear what others may say. Dont get discouraged keep running the race and using the tool that has been given to you wisely as much as possible!! Hugs

Hi Shelley. I think all if us get what you are saying. We all have gone through life not stopping or eating the wrong stuff. But YOU are strong enough to get through this. Your body does remember those feelings of glory we momentarily get from our favs! I agree I will never stay away forever but need to ensure my head will let me stop!

Make the change tonight. You are ok. If its there in the house get rid of it. Start over today!

Good luck

Personally I feel that if you try to deny yourself everything bad to eat it will become increasingly difficult to fight the urges. I try to find a way to have a taste of the bad things once in a while but keep it in moderation and adjust the rest of my diet for the day accordingly. Good Luck.
