VICTORIES
Mar 21, 2010
Since seeing the dietitian, and learning that for the rest of my life I would be eating only 1 cup of food at each meal, something happened to me!! I have been eating everything in sight. I have gained back 8 of the 11 pounds that it took me 6 months to lose. I talked with Dr. McKay (my psychotherapist) about this. He wasn't too alarmed. I attended a support group meeting yesterday. That helped. My eating is returning back to normal. Boy, that was scary!! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to do this, but then . . . I had a couple of victories!! One day I was really frustrated and wanted to eat so I took to journaling; the head hunger left me. Another, I was standing, staring into the fridge and thought "what am I doing? I ate a healthy breakfast an hour and a half ago." I did good by my body. I don't need anything to eat." I closed the fridge, got back to work, and forgot about it. YEAH, ME!!!
I have only 1 psychotherapist appointment left, April 5 and I will have met all my requirements for surgery. I am getting close.
