Day 6 of my Pre-op Diet, Struggle

May 28, 2013

So, the first five days has been awful. And yesterday being that it was Memorial Day, I have to be honest and tell everyone that I cheated. I am not proud of it, but it happened. I am back on track and committed to my weight loss goals and getting my body ready for surgery, but it has not been easy. I live in the apartment attached to my mom's house and so I am very close with my family. They have been so supportive, but seeing everyone eat and smelling all the food that I use as my way to feel better is so hard. I just keep telling myself the mantra that someone posted on here (sorry I don't remember who it was right now) " Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". It has kept me going threw my unusual craving for a burger. I don't really eat burgers like that but for some reason since I have started my pre-op diet I have been craving a Big Mac or homemade burger this whole time. So my brother told me about this movie he watched in Nutrition class called Food Inc. And it shows how unhealthy fast food is. It also goes over a bunch of other things but I'm just interested in the fast food part for now until I can get over this mental hump. So I've been watching youtube videos about how unhealthy fast food is and it actually helps my cravings. I mean I know that fast food is so unhealthy, I have taken a Nutrition course myself, but I guess I am more of a visual person because seeing it on videos for some reason is definitely helping me. I know my journey has just barely begun but so far it has been making me do a lot of soul searching and really making me think about how I have allowed food to control a big part of my thought process. Well off to watch more videos. Looking forward to tomorrow being a better day.
