LivingFree! 478 Posted May 31, 2014 Sure, it's something that most of us go through. Kinda in the category called "head hunger." Have you ever thought about WHY you don't make a good choice when you're reaching for the fries, muffin, anything in the house not nailed down , etc, etc? Just a fun little experiment--next time you reach for something--just say the word STOP to yourself before you eat it. It gives you time to pause and THINK about what you're doing. It's a first step in learning how to build a new relationship with food that we all need to do in order to be successful with WLS long-term. May I also suggest Googling "mindful eating" for some ideas on learning new eating habits. There's tons of good info out there. It's helped me a lot in these last three years in changing from someone who always scarffed down my food like there was no tomorrow, to now having a "respect" for it as fuel and medicine for my body and something good for me. Food doesn't equal shame to me any more, and that feels good. 1 Pamela69 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
