More Help Than Just Wls....

Well, my food addiction has turned into a WLS addiction. I just read and read. But the thing that concerns me at this point is the fact I want to eat everything in sight. No because I am hungry but to have a funeral for food. I know very well I can eat most foods after the surgery but I have this obsession with never eating sugar, pasta, cookies, ice cream etc. again. They are my weakness, my Achilles heel. I can go months without them and BAM! I fall off the wagon and gain 20 pounds back. This is what scares me. I gain weight sooo easily. To me, this is my last chance. But with that being said, I think to be successful this time is to get help. I am not really depressed but have days when I am just miserable and my diet reflects it. Then I hate myself. That needs to stop. I am finally admitting to all of you that I indeed have a problem. I need help. I cannot do this alone. No more telling myself I am weak. So, I am looking forward to the psyche evaluation. I am going to ask for guidance down the road. I am going to attend the group sessions my hospital has as well. We will see how this all goes... :-)

I can, and very sure most if not so many out there can relate to what you are saying. Almost all of us have our obsessions or triggers. Most wouldn't be dealing with this if it wasn't for depression. Why else let this happen in such a large way? I was married 31 years. If I was happy in my marriage and in my life, I wouldn't be just under 300 lbs. It's an addiction just like gambling, smoking, drugs, etc. Just not viewed in the same way by the masses. I don't have to tell you that. We live it. We're all here because diets and changing our eating habits/lifestyle won't work for us. We're too far into it to get out ourselves without choices, for the major amout we need to lose, being taken out of our hands. Just so we can take control in a real way.

You see what's what and you know what has to be done. You'll be fine. I know it.
