Last night I took my kids to a birthday party. The spread she had was insane-make your own sandwiches and tons of amazing salads and fruit, dips and veggies and then she has 10 pizzas delivered and the good kind too, no cardboard delivery, the uber delicious kind. I'll be two weeks on Monday, haven't even graduated to purees yet and the only reason I didn't take a bite of something is because I physically can't because of healing. I left the party. I couldn't take it. Am I hungry? Possibly bc I'm living on liquids. I went home, had my fat free Greek yogurt with monk fruit sweetener and was absolutely full, couldn't even finish the yogurt. I am freaking out bc what happens when I am all healed and can take a bite? Will I be satisfied if I have a piece of cheese and a couple veggies at a party like this? Omg-it was so bad last night and I am terrified I am going to fail. Any words of wisdom? I think I'm going to pursue hypnotherapy.

You did very well and showed a lot of willpower. More than you think. Give yourself credit for that first of all. Secondly, even though you're on puree doesn't mean you couldn't take a bite, it just means you resisted taking a bite. Some people screw up because they would have taken a bite no matter what part of the phase they were on.

Lastly, if you think you're going to fail, you will. If you think you're going to succeed, you will. Don't let your mind play tricks on you. If you don't think your mind will be strong enough, go talk to a therapist about why that is and work it out. You'll feel stronger and more in control. Hope this helps. Good luck and keep your goal in focus, not your past.
