DeirdreKM

Hello everyone, my name is Deirdre and I had the sleeve October 2017. The first 9 months, I lost 80 lbs. Then I completely fell off the wagon: drinking with meals, drinking diet soda, and eating sugar. Tons and tons of sugar. I feel zero restriction with cake, cookies, brownies, and chocolate candy bars. I have been bingeing on these the last 6 months. I have regained 40 lbs. I am too embarrassed to go back to my surgeon or my endocrinologist (I am diabetic). Today I decided to get back on track. No more sweets or diet soda. I have had a protein shake and a yogurt so far today, along with tons of water and some Crystal Light. Dinner is going to be a (homemade) cheeseburger, no bun. I guess I'm just hoping to find someone out there like me who fell completely off the wagon and was able to get back on and be successful. I still have 100 lbs to lose. I have also started seeing a therapist, not for food issues specifically, but for general depression and anxiety. Does anyone have any books they recommend? I need something to keep me away from the junk. Something to tell myself or distract myself with so I don't cave. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
