Diverting my Attention!

My husband is out of town on business for the evening and in the old days, pre-RNY, all I would do was eat while he was gone. I would eat a huge supper, sweets, more food, cheese, more sweets, basically anything I could get my hands on. I guess that is how I delt with missing him. But, tonight, I am trying to divert my attention. I am doing very good. I ate about 1/4 of a chicken breast with lemon and caper sauce and my regular crystal light. So, I am just hanging out on the message board a while before bed, so I don't get the urge to eat - old habits are hard to break!!!! 40 pounds down!! Yeah!!!

Hi Amanda.... Since I am online tonight too...I want to give you the support that you need and deserve! Congrats on your weight loss so far and keep up the great work! I understand about over eating when you're alone. You miss him and for so long, you used food as a comfort tool to help you through the lonely nights. Just know that you have done a wonderful thing for yourself by having this surgery and you're on the road to a new life. Use this message board for support as well as a good book or some SF popsicles to help you along. We are here for you! He'll be back home before you know it! Take care... Megan B
