Not a slave anymore⁉️

I'm three weeks out (HW 260, SW 240, CW 225). Today I had the thought that I don't care about food! I had to force myself to eat?? This is a shocking thought for me because I've suffered from binge eating disorder for over a decade. I've been in therapy for two years to work on all my causes. The sleeve is part of my attempt to finally make the changes I've worked so hard on. I told myself the sleeve would help, but I couldn't really believe it because I couldn't imagine ever having the strength/willpower to overcome my beloved food. Even as I write my brain is saying that tomorrow I'll probably go back to my old self????

Please don't read me wrong, the past few years have been so hard. This surgery and all these changes haven't been a cake walk and I know I've only just begun...

I just needed to tell others that can relate to me that I'm just happy in this moment. In this moment, even with my doubting mind, I feel good. Like I can actually do this.

That's so exciting for you. I also suffer from the same eating disorder. I'm also in therapy and I hope and pray to reach this point that you've reached.

MT Williams, I'm sending you love and support!! I'm still a newbie, so I'm still doubting myself, but honestly even one day is a victory for me. I think you will get there too, especially with the help of a therapist.
