Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I went through my teens trying every diet imaginable. Nothing worked, and by the time I reached my late 20's I realized I was an anti-diet person. I was at a point where I said no to everything. I said there was no diet that would work for the rest of my life, so why try. Also, I didn't think I had the willpower to "diet", I was a closet eater. If no one was looking, I would stuff my face!

Obsession
on August 2, 2012 3:39 pm
My obsessions lead to compulsive behavior.  As well as planned out naughty behavior.  Like today, we had a baby shower at the office.  I did well with the pot luck, avoided the rolls, had the salad I brought with turkey and cheese slices, some three bean salad, pasta salad and 1/2 a deviled egg.  It was delicious.  I was happy to not go over board.  I also avoided the cake.  I said no thank you very politely.  But soon found myself thinking about the cake non-stop.  I had a bite as I was putting it in the break room.  I came back later to find one piece already sliced, ate part of it.  THEN planned out how to have a slice of the other flavor, and DID.  Now I am sorry to have had so much cake, and yet I am still thinking about having more.  So here I am, writing about the cake I know I shouldn't have, but want.  Good times.  I guess it is better than eating the cake.  :)

Hang in there and I'll do the same.  TTYL.
