I am always looking for good documentaries on healthy eating topics. I watched one today hosted by Katie Curic called FED UP. Wow! I knew sugar was my enemy but the addiction to this "chemical" is mind boggling. The story focuses on kids and their struggles in today's society, but I related to much of the discussion. Even after my surgery I am finding my old habits of eating sweet treats becoming infuriatingly difficult to overcome. I truly am addicted. I know that is how I got to my highest weight level before surgery and after watching this documentary I understand why I am pulled back to my same bad habits. I have to stay away from anything with sugar in it! It is a dangerous path I simply cannot travel. I will watch this documentary as many times as I need to in order to remind myself of the pitfalls of sugar. You know it is bad stuff when cocaine addicted rats choose sugar Water over cocaine! Sugar is a drug for me for sure. I recommend you watch this documentary if you have access to Netflix.

I watched this documentary lastnight too - I was surprised to realise (as I'm sure I mustve known before but just not 'thought' about it) that they even condition us from babies, if you give your baby formula...

A very good watch and something that I would watch again too.

That was very "sweet" of you to post this information.

This is an addiction. It is a serious subject and should not be "sugar coated".

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
