Talking about food....

[kellbell5 35]

I'm wondering I I'm the only one.... I am about four months into the six month pre-surgery weight loss education and I realized today how utterly sick I am of thinking about food. I'm not just talking because of the changes I am trying to make. I have just had an epiphany that I am totally sick of food being something I spend so much time thinking about, preparing for and devouring. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one but I'm over food being so important in my life.

Amen! I feel the same way. But that's the point of the dieting, in my opinion, to teach u that food is ur choice and it only has the control you give it. keep up the good work!

I'm a month post-op and feel like food runs my life so much more now than it did before. I feel like all I do is think about what, when and how much I can eat and I feel like I talk about food so much now to people. Maybe it's just because I'm now paying attention and before I would just mindlessly eat whatever I wanted, but I don't want people to think I'm some food-obsessed weirdo who can't talk about anything other than my new food lifestyle.

Girl please, ur so not alone!!! I was there pre op too... Now 13 days out I'm cooking for the family & I could care less about eating!! Grocery shopping doesn't bother me either : ) We have been to the mall & through the food court & still no interest : ) Your definitely not alone!!!

I am 8 months post op and although I still think a lot about food it is now about what food is going to allow me to reach my goals. In other words your focus changes and how you look at food. You start seeing it from the point of view as food for fuel. You can choose regular, upgrade or premium. They all have their pros and cons and it is now up to you to choose the best for you and your situation that day.

I am 6 months post op (today) and I think about all day everyday. I have to think about what I'm going to eat how I'm going to cook it and how much Protein is in it?!

I wish I could turn my internal dialog off when it comes to food but its all about choices if I don't over think it ill probably end up messing up and diving in for empty worthless food that just looks and taste good but not putting me any closer to my goal.

Your relationship with food is going to keep changing.
