I'm trapped in a car with everyone eating McDonalds cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets! I got an ice tea. I am secretly annoyed and talking to myself about how bad they are all eating but man this sucks right now. I had a protein shake this morning that made me feel like barfing at the end:( why does this make me so sad!? It's food!!!! Just food. Yet everything from Thai to Mexican has crossed my mind. ???? I feel crazy. (Rant over)

Just think of how bloated and disgusting you'd feel if you ate that! Stay strong! You got this!

In a car with it??? That is cruel and unusual punishment !!

Yeah thanks! In keeping my head done and reading this board to distract me until they are all done eating. I should have packed something bc now it has been hours since I ate... Lessons Learned.

Yeah we are in a long drive home and everyone's hungry. :0/

Keep your head up! soon when you're feeling great and they are looking "schlumpy" you will be glad you didn't eat that crap

No offense to the people that still eat at McDonalds! I know it's ok to have it sometimes..

Thanks. Yeah I keep repeating that. This app helps too because they don't get it.

And chances are they never will.. Especially while they are stuffing French fries in their face!

Again no offense to the people who enjoy fries..

( you gotta cover your bases around here)

Nothing last forever, it will be over soon enough

I can tell you why it makes me sad.

Because I care about people. I know what kind of damage I caused myself & how much of my life I missed due to that kind of garbage. All I can think of when I see people shoveling trash into their face is the pain it caused me & how unnecessary it all was.

Good discipline!!! Sometimes its good to be in these situations, we have to practice control. Good for you!

When I was on my Pre op diet my boyfriend used to eat McDonald's, pizza etc. I sat him down and told him that he is making it extremely difficult, even more difficult then it already is and that I was upset about it. He didn't eat it again in front of me thank god!

Could you say something like that to the people your with?

It's true. While yes the cheeseburgers smell good, its also like I'm wearing a live vest and watching everyone else drown and they don't even notice. After all, the moment passed and the food is gone, the smell is gone, and I did not partake. I think I will celebrate with some puréed chicken soup and a nap. Ahhhhh. ????????

I felt like I just got some help from my "sponsor" or something. Haha thanks everyone. Until the next temptation....

Yeah I have. My bf is usually good about it but in this moment we were driving in a rush. Yesterday we went to a Restaurant while on vacation and I could only have the broth of the soup and my stepson was teasing me saying "aren't you jealous of my chicken tenders? They are so juicy and delicious". My boyfriend, his dad, scolded him and I told him that wasn't nice and he stopped. My boyfriend was with me at every meeting with the surgeon and takes the rules seriously. He scolded me for chewing bubble gum because of the sugar. He reminds me of the doctors orders when I want to cheat. I just wish he ate better too. This man eats fast food 2x a day. I always offer to cook but he likes bad food. How can I judge if I am fat? Idk but this will be a battle. I hope he gets healthy soon

Mines the same!! He loves take away and soft drinks. He says he will be much healthier after my surgery but I don't know if he will stick to that. I am going to do heaps more healthy home cooked meals so that should help. I'm out of surgery now so I guess I'll find out soon if he's going to change lol.

Your bf sounds very supportive apart from the bad eating. I'm glad he scolded his son... That is mean!!!
