mental breakdown

this liquid diet is hard.

i had a mental breakdown earlier.

this process is very mental.

im hoping to stay strong!

food is such a challenge tho.

the supermarket & commercials (on tv) are all around promoting JUNK & unhealthy foods! besides, its TOO expensive to eat healthy.

Eating healthy really isn't too expensive, especially after the surgery when we can only eat a tiny amount of food.

I also have to tell you it gets much easier after surgery (at least for me it has) because I have no real desire to eat. I know it will come back eventually but right now the idea of eating junk food makes me want to barf.

When I was on the liquid diet, I didn't watch normal TV at all. I watch 600 lb life and Fat Doctor UK nonstop the whole 10 days and I went to bed at 9pm each night.

Watch Food, Inc on Netflix. If nothing else it'll turn your stomach against junky food for a couple of days!

I haven't watched regular TV in about 20 years. I will watch Netflix, and catch an old series there sometimes, but commercial TV is was too offensive and vacuous for me. I would rather read a book. There are no commercials in books, although a lot of the characters are eating better than I do.
