I hate those people who have WLS and then never think about food again. They lie. How the hell can you NOT think about food when all you get is 8 flippin' ounces a meal? And you've got to think about food if you're going to keep yourself properly nourished.
I won't lie. I think about food all the time. Whatever. It's whether or not I EAT it all that time, right? Or whether or not I EAT the foods that I should. Unfortunately, movie popcorn and neon cocktails aren't on my nutritionist's list of recommended foods for proper daily nutrition. And, unfortunately, they're what I've had for dinner (or in addition to dinner) 3 times this week.
I'm treading in dangerous waters. I have a few excuses I could pull out of my ass to justify my eating. But why bother? We all know what they are. I just wish I'd stop eating. Or at least stop caring about eating.
Three months until my 1-year anniversary. By then, I want 30 more pounds gone and no more binging. I don't know which wish is more unrealistic.
I have had it easy, my interest in food seems to have been pretty well shut off. But I feel good about the perspective I have developed toward food and the strategies I use to think about it. Come back to Chicago for a Sassy Fatty Seminar and we'll all talk about it.
ReplyDeleteThey are lying bastards or had a complementary lobotomy thrown in for free; which is exactly what I'm gonna have done if I have my revision.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard. If a heroin addict had to shoot up everyday but with only enough to give them a taste of the transcendent high; they'd fail miserably. This also applies to alcohol, smoking, lil ceramic poodle figurines and anything else that is considered an addiction. But we're screwed: We have to eat!
I suppose any goal's attainable if ya want it bad enough; however what sort of emotional and mental price are ya gonna pay for pushing yourself to the limit?
This might sound a lil OHish, but I think ya just gotta plug your ears, black out the computer screen and ask yourself: What will make me happy and what can I accept without driving myself insane?
Look at those recent before pics ya posted then at that super cute gal in the mirror. So she still likes food; in my book that's ok and certainly beats out serial killers, NAMBLA and Scientology.
Honestly in my opinion: The less we obsess about food and dieting, the more likely we are to lose weight.
