I think this is a NSV...

Today my hubby insisted on getting a Mac Donalds - it was a hangover cure for him... yea, whatever!

18mths ago, with no movement on the scales for 5 weeks, I would have joined him saying 'what the hell, this stupid diet isn't working' and gorged myself on a Big Mac Meal - or whatever they are called!

Today, however, I did not. The smell made me feel sick. The look of the food made my stomach turn. The whole idea of eating that sh*t and paying good money for it repulsed me.

I have never looked at food in that way before.

I am soooo proud of myself as I have been a little down and stressed lately that I didn't use food as a comfort and a friend.

Instead, I have the sleeve and my health as my friend and they are both nicer!!

Coops - that is fantastic, I wish I could also get to that point!!

Chin up mate - you are doing brilliantly - be proud! xx

Cheers Cludgie... it has taken a while, but I am learning that food isn't a good way to feel better.. oh, and as a foot note... I didn't have a hang over... I haven't had an alcholic drink since July! I will have a few tipples over Xmas, but it doesn't bother me at all now!! Happy Days! =]

way to go! my hubby- the sabatoger tried to give me half a snickers yesterday...without even blinking i said no. before this surgery i would have attacked him as soon as he brought it out.

it is freeing!

What a great post Coops, and a great NSV! This is the best one can hope for: to use this tool not just to loose the weight but to truly change destructive habits in the process. I really loved reading that is is really possible. Congratulations!!!! You're an inspiration!!!!!

Hey mnbsleeve!

Thank you for your kind words... I can tell you that, that morning really was a defining moment for me! It is possible to get rid of destructive thoughts and actions... something I have never really focused on before! Now, if I want something that is considered a treat or a 'waste of calories' it is a very conscious decision! x
