What do you do when your mind begins to sabotage your body?

I am 7 months post op and have lost 121 pounds with 82 more left to go. But since the 4 month after surgery, I have been battling my sweet tooth. It has now progressed to chips, pizza and other snack food. I have tried sugar free goods but they either don't appeal to me or leave me with a gaseous reaction. I know what is good for me. I know what I should be eating on my diet. That's not it. I can't handle being smaller. I want my fat back. Even though I love the compliements, being able to walk and breathe better and fitting into smaller clothes, the fat was my protection from being noticed. I feel so exposed now. My therapist is not helping. I can't get to a support group because I am in night school and work during the day. I spend my weekends studying because my friends are all busy with their own lives. I am isolated and all alone in this which only make me want to eat more. I don't want to fail on this surgery. I went through hell. I had complications and everything. But it was worth it. I just can't stop my mind from trying to sabotage my body......
