Renaming my obsession (aka: mind games that skinny people play)

Glad it was helpful!  :)

Thanks for sharing this.  Today I've been thinking about how I'm coming to terms with life post-sleeve and how much of it is in my head and how I think of things.

Yesterday was a "bad" day for me because I nibbled on steel cut oats (cooked oatmeal) yesterday afternoon. Probably had 3/4 cup--with brown sugar!--by the time I got through nibbling.

Holy cow, since when has 3/4 cup of oatmeal ever been considered a binge or something to feel guilt and concern about?

Since my sleeve.  LOL!

And I need to be concerned enough to not make that a habit, and that's part of the "thinking," too. Knowing that I have the power to splurge but HAVE to put on the brakes, too.

This is the most marvelous tool but we have to take care of it, and a lot of that IS mental!
