skylarkx 69 Posted May 29, 2014 Hi everyone! This is my first time posting but I have been lurking around since about April ! I finally have my pre op appointment on June 5! So my surgery should be within 30 days of that. My question is has anybody had trouble with referred addictions. I am a food addict and I'm hoping I won't refer my addiction to something just as bad for me. Anybody have any comments or suggestions? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziggypbang 272 Posted May 29, 2014 I spend too much time on this site! I also am in love with clothes shopping now so much more than before. The clothes actually look good now, instead of tent- like! I also am committed to Planet Fitness at least twice a week. I'm staying in a hotel this weekend for a conference and I'm psyched about getting to work out every day in the gym! That's weird but awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylarkx 69 Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks for your reply! I love this site also! I am trying to use my gym as a replacement also although I have knee problems so I am working the weights more than I do aerobics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted May 29, 2014 For me, it is getting to the root cause of why I abused food. Every time I put something into my mouth, I try to understand the reasons. If I understand why I turn to food then I don't have to do actions which may cause me harm, whether that be gambling, alcohol, shopping, sex ... fill in the blank. Cross-over addictions are real and I believe, for me, the only way I can prevent further behaviors which are not in my best self interest, is to understand why I turn to food when I am not really hungry. 2 quuquui and BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
