"Change Your Relationship With Food" ..but how!?!

[livvsmum 2,368]

For me the turning point was reading the book, "When food is Love" and starting therapy weekly with an eating disorder therapist. It's a LOT of hard work. Way harder- in my opinion- than the actual food/eating behaviors themselves. Good luck to you ! :-)

Accepting responsibility for myself seems to be a daily challenge, group therapy with other sleevers and 'buddies' have been helpful and sometimes inspirational.

This is the best post I've read on here thus far. Thank you all for your honesty! I was really worried when I hit about the 3 month post op because my food restrictions were no longer very limited. And now, almost 9 months post op, I see that food is becoming my best friend and source of comfort and entertainment all over again. I've just purchased and downloaded "When Food is Love" and am determined to gain back control over what I eat and why. I've accepted that it will always be a struggle and I will always have to be conscientious of what I eat, but I also know I need to stop seeing food as anything more than nutrition for my body.

I just ordered "When food is Love" and am looking at the "Food and Feelings Workbook". I'm hoping to work on some of this before the surgery.

Good for you! I SO wish I would have discovered that book and started working on things before I had surgery. I think you are doing yourself a huge favor! :-)
