Moderation Vs Abstinance

  Congrats for learning what you can handle.  Its sad that so many medical professionals  today still don't understand food addictions.  Thankfully we can learn a lot  without their support. 

That is why I think that treatment for eating disorders should be mandatory.  Except in rare situations I don't think we become morbidly obese without some kind of disordered eating.  There are many different kinds.  With treatment we can recognize our problem areas and work on them, whether it is carb addiction, emotional eating or even just bad eating habits.  We can learn what will work for us and make our surgery work.

You are one smart person which I admire greatly.  It is in understanding our personal obesity issues that we can maintain for life. 

Most everyone has heard how we should eat from some angle.  Its in working out how to do it for ourselves that is dependent on the multitude of reasons we each got so fat.    

Teach it girl.  Give those who think its simply about overeating something to think about.
