I have been trying to lose weight for my insurance and I've found (in the past I've been the same way) when people start noticing and saying I look good, I want to eat everything!! I had someone tell me that it was probably because I was getting noticed and I'm not used to that. Has anyone else ever gone through this?! Weightloss is so hard! I get my surgery date tomorrow so I'm trying to get my mind straightened out before I have the surgery.

I hate the attention I get when I lose weight! But I want to lose all of this excess weight so bad! I feel that at least with the sleeve it will help me to keep it off, cause I want to be healthy.

I have done the samething. You will do just fine when getting noticed, cause unlike before you are now following through with this and.the weight will.fall off and you will feel fantastic.

Have you talked to a therapist? I haven't had the surgery yet, but I'm seeing a therapist and he told me how he had a VSG patient that gained all the weight back because she was uncomfortable with attention from men since she was raped at a young age...remember this is a tool and if you don't use it right when you get it, you can gain the weight back. I've decided that I am going to keep seeing my therapist as long as my insurance covers it to help me with my stress and depression to keep me on the right track with this weight loss....hope everything goes well for you.

I've lost 35 lbs and I'm already getting attention. I think it makes me a bit nervous so I want to eat. I ate raw cookie dough today! Guess a shrink is a good idea..

Although not required, I think I should see one about my weight. My mother used to each chips and Cheetos in front of us kids but not allow us to have any. She hid candy in her bedroom (we would steal a little here and there). She would only buy the yucky cheap cereal she knew would last forever and then tell us if we were hungry, we could eat the cereal, she would always serve herself first and best. Ugh. When I finally married and moved out, I could eat everything and anything I wanted. Ok - not a good thing. I swore iwould NEVER do that to my children. I never tell my kids they can't have anything I'm having. I teach them moderation. They're both skinny and food does not rule them. I'm happy about that. For me though, the damage is done - now I need to undo it!!!
