Sorry you're having a hard time, but you know what you have to do.

Throw that crap out of the house, own your surgery, own your accountability to it as an adult, put your head down, grit your teeth and attack this.

Mealy-mouthed whinging will get you no where - and you know that. It might get a few platitudinous pats on the back of 'there, there, it'll be okay'.. But you already know...

If you put crap in, you'll get crap out.

Simple mathematics.

Hello Nikki,

You had surgery 6 weeks and 2 days ago. My advice to you is that if you're already eating Cheez-Its you're going to find yourself sabotaging your Honeymoon phase. This is the time where you are going to lose the most weight, and every single cracker you put in your mouth, you are setting yourself that much further back. Take advantage of this special time!

Please also know that if you're having trouble now, it never gets any easier. food is extremely addicting and if you have to get some help for it. Go to an OA meeting or pray about it. This journey is never easy and it's also very easy for any of us to tell you "don't do that!", but I think all of us need to realize that food has and did have a hold on us mentally. The physical is only the result. Stay stronger than your addictions and fix it. Only YOU can do that.

Take care!

I needed a kick in the ass this week, too. I've been down due to a break up and the anniversary of my sister's death approaching this weekend. Stressful bookends to the week...time to toss away any of the carbs I have let myself indulge in!

Thanks y'all!!
