There is no restriction with junk food, people. Between last night and today, I've eaten an entire large bag of potato chips. I can eat them like I used to before the band. The. Entire. Bag. Now I feel like a bloated, water retaining whale. I do need a fill, but if I don't stop my journey down the junk food path, I won't lose anymore weight... inspiration PLEASE?

It is so hard not to eat those easy feel good foods but u can do it! Every dy u don't eat them u will wake up proud of yourself also every day u don't eat them it will be easier to say no the next day. U got this, Rock it out!

Just think... Is it worth it? No.

You had the surgery because you want to change. You need a change.

Go slow, maybe get baked chips, or special K chips and look at the serving size.

I know it's hard. I'm going through bandster he'll myself right now, but we have made a drastic decision to have surgery. Surgery was a HUGE step/ decision so now we have to help ourselves.

I'm not saying stop eating chips completely, but baby steps. If u know ur gonna eat the entire bag, then try not to buy it.

Best of luck!! Were all I'm this together!!!!

You have to find the inner resources to have some self discipline. If you can't , then no chips in the house. I like popchips and snyders healthy chips if I gotta havem. Also, make sure you eat enough Protein throughout the day and fiber- if you feel hungry and deprived you will have lower will power.

Also, exercise at tapping.com helps me with food cravings. It's about a 15 minute demo of something called The Emotional freedom technique

I just read this again for the 3rd time: "It's just a diet till there's restriction".

Until you get that fill that helps you find satiety, you must diet or you won't lose weight.

Don't buy the chips. that simple. if you buy them=you will eat 1=you will eat the whole bag. this is addiction, time to get serious and agressive about fighting back. you wouldn't do a little crack if you were a crackhead or take a sip of alchohol is you went to AA. If you're like me you're a recoving food addict and even if you never pick up another chip in you life, you will still be a food addict...that susceptibility will always be there., so you have to decide if a chip is worth the floodgate of problems it unleashes. i think not. These are things i have to practice telling myself so i don't eat the things that upset me. YOU CAN DO IT!

Try kale chips I know this sounds crazy, but they r crunchy and taste good...google recipe.

"Restriction" still won't stop you eating that packet of chips or chocolate or whatever your vice may be. "Restriction" may help you to avoid eating the chips because you are satisfied and you decide that although they taste nice you don't really need them. Don't forget that a big part of this is still you making good decisions.

kale chips dont taste the same but do the trick
