Purple39lady,
When I find myself "out of control", I "reset" myself by getting BACK TO THE BASICS.
What you need to do is pretend you just had the operation and do a few days (1 week) of liquids, then a few days (1 week) of soft foods, then back regular foods. What you are actually doing is purging/detoxifying your body of those “bad" foods that can/will cause cravings.
Give it a try, and see what happens

Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was OK. This morning I am going to have to go to the lab and have my yearly bloodwork done to make sure all my vitamin levels are where they are suspose to be. I hate doing this. I know that I am dehydrated. They open in 20 minutes and I am going to call to see if I can drink some water to hydrate me so they will get the blood easier. On a upbeat note.....I am grateful for insurance and grateful that I haven't had any real problems in my 6 yrs. since my surgery. If you are pre op....IMHO.....if they have problems getting your blood pre op....that will probably remain the same post op. I know of many others like myself who have had this problem both before and after WLS. I am sitll SO grateful for my WLS and all the different surgeries for everyone to chose. I am grateful for my husband, 3 sons and DIL. Grateful for the life that has been given to me and for all the blessings that continue to come into my life. Grateful for support groups, holdays ( although sometimes they are a challenge...I love them ). Grateful for the 4 seasons. beautiful flowers and many many other things. Grateful for Obesity Help and all the staff and people on the message boards daily. Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers. PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hope you all are doing well. I am having some difficulty staying on task and sticking to the plan. I am exercising faithfully, at least 4-5 times a day and somedays twice a day. I can't shake my desire for sweets. I love them and really want to stop snacking on them. I just don't want to screw up the positive changes that I have made. Any help or suggestions would be great. I need to just to stop the madness. Thanks.
