I'm no****ching my weight!

All my life I have been watching my weight go up, up, up. After the surgery I will again be watching my weight go down, down, down. Right now I have received a gift. The gift to eat what I want and not worry. I was told that if there's something I want to eat it now because chances are I won't be able to later. BACON HERE I COME!!! Gayle Queen of Yarn Balls

That is how I have been since November....was given the gift of having a Holiday season without worrying, since I was at the low end of the BMI anyway...I figured it would help my case LOL I actually only gained 6 pounds without worrying about food. go figure.

I'm finding this time to be a blessing in that I think it will help. I'm finding how much I hate food. I'd really rather live without it if I could. It's caused me so many problems. Now that I'm eating and not really "dieting", I'm feeling like I just won't miss food after the surgery. I know I'll have cravings for certain things, but I don't think I'll miss stuffing myself like I'm so used to. Anyway, I guess I needed your post as an opportunity to vent some pent-up frustrations. I wish my surgery were tomorrow. I don't like my relationship with food at all. Time for pizza Caboose

Rob! Rob! Rob! You are full of wisdom! Food has caused me nothing but a few moments of shameful comfort and tons of heartache. Now I look at it as my turn to shun food. I am enjoying my last hurrah with all the foods that I like but shouldn't eat now because I'm gonna be the GB angel after. I like what you said though, it made sense, thanks!

I totally agree! I am still trapped in the grasp of food but at the same time I am so sick of it. I am not scared about having to only eat broth and yogurt for a while, I welcome it. My brain never gets tired of food but my body begs for relief. My body and I will be so grateful when 3-11-04 gets here!

Very well said! I feel the exact same way and couldn't have said it better myself. We have surgery the same day! Can you believe how close we are!????? God bless! I will be praying for you!
