Coping Mechanisms

I WAS 4 WEEKS OUT AND I HAD A FRIEND PASS AWAY. I WAS SO CONSUMED WITH GUILT. BEFORE SURGERY I WOULD HAVE EATEN A QUART OF MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM FROM BASKIN ROBBINS. I AM JUST NOT AS INTERESTED IN FOOD ANYMORE. I LIKE TO EXERCISE, BUT I HAVE NOT YET FOUND ANYTHING TO REPLACE THE TASTE AND SMELL OF THE FOOD. I JUST DEALT WITH IT INSTEAD OF BURYING MYSELF IN FOOD.

Good question, I have a journal I write in daily, it is very helpful to me for all of life's issues not just weight loss surgery. When I feel overwhelmed I go for a long ride and listen to my favorite CD, walking is a great stress release too!! Talking your feelings out is always good to do.

Blessings,
