I had that moment.....it just clicked

Last night after stuffing myself with Turkey and resting watching TV late I had "that moment". it was like something came over me. I start my pre-op diet today as my surgery is 12/3. But what came over me last night was that I was at peace with food. It was kind of weird but I knew my journey was starting and my old way of eating and being fat was going away. But i physically felt at peace and calm about this. I had "that moment". Does anyone know what I am talking about? Or is it just me being weird?

No you are not weird and yes others know what your talking about. You are half way to a healthier you, because you recognize the challenge of eating for health.

Good luck on the journey!

Thank you both. I am really excited. I have the support of this site, the support of my wonderful wife and kids. I am ready to do this. I have taken my pre pictures (not pretty) and I can not wait to take my during....never really going to take after pictures because this is a life long journey...Thanks again!!!!

Not at all weird. I am one week post surgery today, and had my first lunch at a restaurant since surgery. I had a small cup of La Madeleine's Tomato basil Soup, and I could only finish half of it. I found myself absolutely giddy and laughing because I was full with basically 1/4 a cup of the most delicious Soup in the world and I had NO desire to try to stuff in the rest of it. Normally I would order a bowl of it (not a cup), eat all of that, have strawberries romanoff as well and of course the bread, butter, jams.

It sounds like you are going to do very well. Don't expect that peace to be 100% of the time, but if you can remember how you feel right now, you can tap into it and feel very empowered when old habits beckon. Good luck!
