Comfort Food

[4SFLFDS 59]

Today is the first day my mind is messing with me. I'm at home post-op 6 days and doing great--but today I have been very hungry. With all the talk of the hurricane it's making me think of all the comfort foods I would normally be prepping for...BUT...I did this for me--the new me! Sip on!

Hang in there. The mind is the hardest thing to overcome.

I find myself hungry when I'm home too. Weekends I want to eat! But when at work I have to remind myself to eat! Comfort food is something our minds is always going to back and yes the mind is sooo hard to overcome and train to not want old habits.

Hang in there and sip sip sip.

It doesn't help that ALL the commercials are for food! I had the same issue arise at roughly the same time. Remind yourself that it's normal - it will take time to learn to differentiate between brain hungry vs belly hungry. I'm dealing with Sandy (NY) too. I'm craving comfort today -

Good luck!

Yummy food. I love food even if I can't eat what I live anymore. I'm in ny also & thanks god it wasn't bad in my area except trees that felt.

Stay strong!!! I have been having to stop myself lately when I have a craving and ask myself, am I actually hungry or is this just because I'm tired or thirsty. I also have to ask myself will this food get me closer to my goal of weight loss or will it hurt me? Before surgery, I didn't think before I ate. If I wanted it, I just grabbed it. It was so mindless. I'm so happy for this new lifestyle and mindset!
