Need Tough Love

I am being a huge idiot. I had surgery 1/28. Including Optifast pre-surg, I am down just shy of 40 lbs. (277->238.5). I am exercising 5 days a week, so that's something. But every day for the last 5 days, I've done (eaten) something stupid. I don't know why I am doing this to myself. Why go to such drastic measures as surgery, then tank it by making decisions like I am??

Ever feel like you are just going to be fat forever because of your stupid head?

Yep...it's because they band our stomach when they should be banding our brain. Don't beat yourself up. Just pick yourself up and start again...right then. Don't wait for the next day. Remember, this isn't just about removing the hunger (which you may still be dealing with...you didn't say)...but you're changing a lifetime of bad habits. Keep working at it!
