I know it sounds weird, but I have tried diets and even though my husband is right there supporting me I feel like I need to be forced to loose weight. I think thats why I like the idea of having the lap band. I have read that if you try to eat bad foods then you can get sick, and that isn't any fun so you are forced into eating healthy. I feel like I do overall eat healthy, my husband has type 2 diabetes and while it doesn't act up a lot it is right now, so we are focusing on a atkins type diet. I am 22, and I am beginning to steer further and further away from fast food which I know will help me in the long run. I like to make meals from scratch and I have more time to do it. I am in college full time and I only have class 2 days a week. Is it wrong to want to do this because I feel like I will be forced? I was doing really good on my own until we started having some job issues, my husbands work closed down and we moved in with my parents for a while. They are retired and eat literally anything they want so they always have sweets in their house, and I gained about 30 pounds just living there. Now that we are back out on our own I feel like I am struggling more then ever to calm the cravings down and go back to eating healthy. I try to avoid bring in any types of sweets into the house so that I am not wanting them, but it really is just too easy to drive down to the store for a candy bar
