overeating after gastric sleeve
i feel our head control what goes in our mouth if you have to tell yourself its ok to eat it its probably not ok this is like any addiction it takes dedication and determination as the sleeve is just the tool we use it can not control our heads we all need to seek some help and also help ourselves not rely only on the tool we have been blessed with portion control and healthy choices are in our head we need to stay focused on our heath and our success

Self image is one of the hardest parts for me i still at times is all that i see is the larger me sometimes it is hard to see the difference although everyone else sees it i still feel the same at times those feeling have started to fade with time and my confidence has started to blossom as well it just takes time i guess so yes we all have our insecurity's about our body

Is this a horrible idea?
it took me 5 years to commit to the surgery and get my head into it i wish i could have done it 5 years ago maybe if my head was in it then i could have hands down it is the best tool i have ever bought for my self and i was more than ready for that tool to make my life last longer and help heal my body for the torture i have put it though over the years of bad choices and decisions no regrets best thing i have done for me ,always being the provider and the one who helps everyone first before myself in the past that has changed as i have to be good first to help others now if im not then i can not help others have to make sure you are ready and do your research cheers have a great day !!
