how helpful is routine and structure?
very helpful, would be my assertion. "make habit your friend"
also Leisure gives rise to all the vices.
I don't know what-all vices you have but I consider donuts one of mine. now, there are a lot of ways to deal with the place down the street that makes them hot every morning: the zero tolerance, the ONE a week (moderation!)
but, in general, the best over all plan is have a life so fundamentally decent that I don't "need" a donut because I am up to my ears in self pity or stressed to the max.
and decent includes work, hopefully honest work for fair pay, in a week that is mostly routine, with some leisure thrown in.
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

way back in the pre-op years I remember reading a book from a man who had lost weight after researching what the best ways to do it.
two things I have always remembered were FIBER (because non-ops don't have restriction) and BOREDOM (because the more interesting your food is? the more you eat!)
I do find routine is my friend, for a fact.

the link in your siggy isn't working for me, Diane, but I search on groups and found you. I will be posting at some point.
frankly? I found the LOL cat pic and decided I wanted to post it - so I thought up a subject to go with it.
