MY PROBLEM , MY ADDICTIONS

It's so true , to battle with my addictions. After I had WLS i don't like food, I like shopping then comes the $$ problem. I have to face the new battle with my life face to face with it. Let's cheer ourselves up, and fight for it. It's a new life a new day everyday . God bless you and all of us. We have to be proud of us each other.

You are not alone. Most of us have addictive personalities. When we lost the ability to live out our food addiction we grieved for the food and then many of us transferred the addiction to alcohol, shopping, computers, sex, gambling or other things. The healthiest of us managed to transfer it to healthy habits such as exercise, labor for others, etc. I think most of us will struggle with this the rest of our lives. This is cause for hope, not depression though. As long as we are struggling, we are living and growing. It is a false expection to view life as a destination. It is a journey. So glad we are making it together!!! Joy

Yvette, you are so not alone with this. I am training myself to believe that I am HAPPY for my relationship with food; it gives me a reason every day to celebrate strength - even when I fall very short of my own goals, I know that I can get up and start over. The truest measure of success is stringing those days together...the ones when we say to ourselves, I am worth starting over. Yesterday belongs to my past. Today is the start of my future. Be well, my friend. Find calmness and quiet strength in your days, beginning with this one. Love, Reenie
