Thank you

Ask yourself if you miss food or what it represented-comfort, love, release, relief, etc. I am working with a therapist to segregate food as those things from food as fuel.

That's interesting... What method does your therapist use?  How are you working through it?  And in the heat of the moment, what goes through your head?

Sorry you're having a bad day.

I was actually glad my body was "helping" me by not wanting food.  I mean--I had major surgery in an effort to lose weight, so in my mind the fact that food made me nauseous right after surgery and my appetite was nil was a big bonus.  Imagine how hard it would be if I (or you!) could eat anything you want immediately after surgery.  The amount of control you'd need to exert would be that much greater.

Look at this as a good thing (the physical discomfort).  As for missing food, that's part of the mental game.  Does your center offer any kind of counseling?  That might help.

 

I've been very stressed lately, so I've been very hungry. The stress is over now, so hopefully the hunger will go away, too.

I hear you!  Our tools are a 'fix' for the body - forced restriction etc........but the surgery did not fix the mind.  My husband was in the hospital for 6 days - bowel obstruction - between being there for him and taking care of our little one ALL I could think about was food.  It is a matter of remembering that it is OK to feel, OK to be mad, sad, happy, bored, and that it is more than OK to talk about those feelings :-)  You will be OK!  I hope you are feeling better!
