Old habits

Talaria · May 4, 2016

I am/was an emotional eater. Yesterday something came up that would have triggered me to overeat--binge, really. It was my gut instinct, but I couldn't do it. I physically cannot. In one was I was scared. "How do I deal with my emotions?!" But in another way I was SO relieved I had the surgery-this is why I had this surgery. It is a very powerful tool!

I really agree. The first time I had fallen into port eating habits I was so incredibly grateful that my temporary madness was tempered by the size of my belly. I realize that I was not on a diet. So what I did to my stomach is permanent. And so there was no giving up or feeling discouraged. It was simply a meal that didn't have enough nutrition. By the time I could eat again I often regain my sanity!
