Food funerals

Help! I know I shouldn't, but I am...

So some of you are aware that I have a 12 month insurance program. During this time I've lost 40lbs. I graduate on September 30th and have a surgery date of October 19th!!!

With that said, I know I shouldn't have food funerals, but now that I'm a month away I find myself saying...I want to make sure I have X before my surgery!

I monitor my weight and I'm not gaining. I am definitely not eat as large of portions, but I need help changing my mind set! I know I'm not saying goodbye to smoked BBQ and grilled chicken wings for forever...

    I'm not pigging out. But, I do notice if I have something off plan, I don't feel guilty like I've done in the past. With me, it's not about the food, but the emotions associated with certain foods. I'm watching what I eat and the quantities. And I know chances are that it's months later or never before I'll be able to eat some things. I'm still pre-op and how to get sleeved in December. I'm avoiding buffets at all costs.
