  1. Rough Couple of Days

    Hey! I'm new to the site, but I am need of some support (and happy to give support right back!)
     
    So, today is Day 3 of the liquid diet. 12 days away from the surgery. I'm feeling better than I did yesterday, but today is still pretty tough. I've always used food as a coping mechanism for anything going wrong, or right, in my life. When I was happy, I rewarded myself with food. When I was upset, I stuffed the pain down with food. I've been working on healthy alternatives, but it's still such a challenge. I feel like I should have come farther by now. Is that normal? Or is it too much to expect that this battle would be won in not quite three months?? Any advice on staying positive would be much appreciated
     
    I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. And I try to remind myself that it's about progress, not perfection.
     
    All my best,
    Katie
