Friend or Foe?

I'm still here. Thanks for the emails and the phone calls.

Yesterday's eating was extremely controlled. I also cut back on caffeine. No soda (which I started drinking again on a very limited basis). My work-out was ok. I didn't drink.

I did force myself to not go home until later in the evenin,g and then I went to bed very early, just to avoid food/drink temptations.

I'm sure I've also now reached that point where the euphoria of weight loss surgery and its results has worn off. Back to reality.

I don't necessarily believe this rigid control is any better than reckless abandon. Both have the focus on food and its place in my life. I knew that I would always have to deal with food. I just don't want to be a serial dieter like I was before surgery. I want food to co-exist peacefully with me and be something I need for nutrition, not a friend or an enemy.
