What Are You Hungry For? It's Not Food!



Recommended Posts

Why are you eating? What are you hungry for? It's not food! This is a page I came across while looking for help. It's a discussion about those very questions, based on the novel by Geneen Roth, "Women, food and God"...she and Oprah Winfrey talk it out. It's quite eye opening! Give it a glance...

I love love love that book. I own it and have read it a number of times. Matter of fact, was looking for it the other day. It means getting down on my knees went and I didn't know have the strenght to do it.

This should be a must read & read & read to everyone. You get the picture don't you.

If people don't want to read it b/c it mentions God. It is NOT a religious book.

maddysgram,

I have yet to read the book, I was going to buy it last week, but instead chose to buy Jean McMillan's Bandwagon book. When I'm done (if you ever really stop needing it!) I plan on moving on to Ms. Roth's book.

I had heard from the author herself that it wasn't about "God", but more spiritual than anything. Good to know from a reader she wasn't lying!

I wish someone could come to my house and get down on their knee's and find my book. I might get down there, but not sure if I can get up again.

I can't wait for the day I can have my knee's replaced, almost as exciting as having my LB. LOL

LOL! I feel for ya.

But don't ask ME to get down on MY knees...I just had both replaced, and they give you an "Oh no you don't!" feeling when you kneel on them. An indescribabley weird, unpleasant feeling.

You'll have to use one of those claw grabbers, dahling!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
