There are so many temptations in the world that I'm finding it hard to stay on track. I haven't had my surgery yet and I'm supposed to loose 34 pounds before they will even start the process. I'm down 17 but it's like a fight to go out side my home. There are so many fast food restaurants around that I find myself stopping at one on the way home. I've even started leaving my money at home so I can't buy anything. How has everyone else delt with this? I'm struggling every time I leave my comfort zone. It's like I can taste the food I want to eat. I feel like I'm a crackhead. Lol Does anyone have any helpful tools on how to get through this? Please!!!lbvs

Somehow I have gotten to the point where I can't stand fast food. It's crappy food that is bad for us. It doesn't bother me but it has become gross to me... i am starting to miss sweets but I know I can't have it so I eat fruit or drink crystal light for my sweet fix. I have a book called eat this, not that try to look for healthier options until u can stop eating it. No one is perfect and this journey will not b easy, but u can do anything u set ur mind to. Best Wishes!

I've heard that after the surgery your taste buds change. I'm glad to hear this. Right now it's a struggle to change. But I'm trying!! I know this is for the best. My starting weight was 484 and I weighed in last week at 467. I lost 17 pounds . 17 more to go and I can start the process !! I'm so excited to start a new life!! Thank you for the advice.
