I was wondering if any one else felt this way, I use to love going grocery shopping, now I hate it. I came home and felt like crying, because now I don't enjoy it, there was no fun in it.

I went through that at first, but now I am back to enjoying it again.

Can you explain a little more about why it upsets you? I actually enjoy grocery shopping more post band because I know if I do buy something "bad" I can't eat the whole package anymore. I used to get really anxious, trying to talk myself into only getting healthy stuff, but obsessed with all of the junk food I would pass. Of course, I used to cave most of the time...

When I was first banded I went through some really bad food mourning... We would order carry out and I'd walk around throwing stuff around the kitchen, frustrated and mad that I couldn't eat. I just now realized that that hasn't happened to me in months. Give it some time. It takes the brain a while to get banded.

I cry when I have to go. Gosh, how I loooooaaaaaathe grocery shopping. Awful Awful Awful job. That's half the reason I got fat, because I'd just put it off and put it off and we'd have no food in the house and end up buying takeway. And stopping at the Quix down the road for junk for Breakfast. And buying lunch out becuase there was nothing at home.

I hate it! I hate lugging it in from the car, I hate having to clean the fridge out of all the liquifying veges that we didnt eat last week to make room for more. I hate duty cooking for a family too when I know they're all going to say they dont like it.

The whole thing depresses me. It's the worst aspect of being a mother I can think of. Give me dirty nappies any day.
