Here's what helped me.
I started eating foods with big flavours! And I mean big!
Indian Curries, Spanish Seasonings, Carribean, Creole, And I also incorporated:Shrimp, Crab, Beef, Lamb, Pork, Goat, All cooked low and slow, so that i could handle them.
I'm at the point now, if my food doesn't have "big flavor" I'm not going to bother eating!
Too the cookbooks for you. There are tons, and tons of recipes that incorporate Chillis, Ginger, Garlic, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, Garlic, Etc. Etc. Etc.
Or you can pick up a bottle of sauce and start there.
Boy, I've been where you are at, but i am no longer bored with my food.

I re-read my post. And in two post i used a (1) hell, (1) damn and (1) arse.
Sans those three words, the sentiments are the same.
I want this woman to know the wonderfulness of the journey. Even with the struggles, as you get closer and closer to your goal and distances yourself from your heaviest weight, life starts to feel really good.
All of your problems don't miraculously disappear. Debts is still there, Crap job is still there (or not there), your husband is still there (LOL), Kids are still there (Mind moved out at 26). But, the burden of the weight is lifted and that is so freeing.
You will move better, look better, breathe better. A lot of health related issues are elimated or diminished. You get your mojo back. You become you again. Or better yet, you find the you that is you.
I wasn't perfect in my journey, but I was consistant. I strung enough days together where I stuck my WL program and I lost 170+lbs!
Did I want to make my Protein shake with Haagan Daz instead of skim milk and yogurt (don't try this folks - it's dangerous). Yes, I did. Did I do it - no I didn't! Because I put my head down and did the work. And it's work.
Every moment of the day, there isn't a time where I am not thinking about food. If anything, the preoccupation of food is more than it was when I was 377lbs of fat. I'm in a constant dialogue with myself can it, should i, better not, maybe a little, no... blah, blah, blah.
8 days out from surgery and you're eating cake means you need to do the mind work and approach this clinically. If you were on life saving drugs, you would follow the medical protocol. Well your diet is the life saving medical protocol for obesity.

i'm no longer shooting for perfection. Just consistancy. If i string more good day together than bad, I lose the weight. So, if you don't go off the rails too severely and it doesn't look like you did; get back on your WL program. You know what you need to do to lose the weight.

Strong Language Advisory:
OK, OK!
You fucked up!
Big f**king deal!
We've all done it!
You are not going to get it right every f**king day. But, if you string enough of those days together you will lose weight!
Now here's my advice!
KEEP YOUR EMEMIES OUT OF YOUR HOME!
IF THE food ISN'T ON YOUR LOSING PLAN KEEP IT OUT OF YOUR HOUSE. NONE OF THAT, OH I'M GETTING IT FOR MY HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND, CHILDREN, GUEST, FRIEND, ETC. ETC. ETC.
f**k 'em! Right now, this is about you. YOU!!!! And right now, you can't eat those foods and lose the weight.
stop thinking you can eat the bullshit carbs (and that's what they are bullshit) and concentrate on your WL program.
My cousin had weight loss surgery and helped me tremendously by saying the following to me when I was going through as similar situation like yours. She said "cuz, just because you have WL surgery; doesn't mean you stop liking the foods that you like"
That freed me up mentally, because this is a mental game at this point. Yes, I like strawberry Ice cream (with a banana), but it's not on my losing program. So, I don't have it!
I also know this. Those foods that you are wanting "AINT GOING ANYWHERE" They will all be there when you've lost your weight and made it to goal!
This is the tough love txt msg. The one that I hope hits you in the solar plexes.
You know what you need to do. After all, aren't you the big girl wearing the smaller panties now!
Woman up and handle your damn business
Love and Hugs,

Better out than in!

if you have a juicer you can drink parsley and celery. And you have to drink lots and lots of water. Sounds like you're not getting in the water you need.
