2 more days and so scared

[cjd2010 30]

I am starting to panic... I am scared of not feeling good from not eating or having soda, I tend to get headaches cause I am totally addicted to soda. Hahah.... Will I miss food like crazy? So many thoughts going through me head.

Our bad food habits are just as strong and just as deadly as, say, heroin. I quit soda 6 months before my surgery because I knew that detoxing the body of sugar and caffeine is an uncomfortable and completely no-fun process. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Within 2 or 3 days I felt just fine. As for missing food, I certainly still do. Sometimes I see creamy mac and cheese or a big bowl of ramen and it just looks SO good that I have this pang of regret, like "I'm never going to be eating these foods again... what have I done?!" and then after about 2 seconds of that, the thought and desire passes, and I remember that I've lost 40 pounds in 8 weeks since surgery and my health is wonderful. I still like and crave the foods I used to, but now it's so, so easy to move on from it. You'll do just fine, just keep your head in the game and remember why you are doing this in the first place.

I feel like I will never be small. Like I won't lose the weight or even if I do, I will still be big looking. Like big boned. Sounds weird I am sure! Haha....
