This is a TOOL only a TOOL

Hey, I vote for whatever works for each person. But aren't we walking a slippery slope if we start eating cookies, even if they are more nutritious. That is the type of thing that got us in the situation to need this surgery. I feel for myself that I need to eat completely differently than ever before because I have a different digestive system, and I went to great lengths to decide to get this and make this change. If I was diabetic I woud not be able to eat cookies and chips and other things. I am just trying to build for the best chance to doing well for the rest of my life. For me, I HAVE to look at things differently. It does not make it easy... I said,"Satan get the behind me," when I inadvertently ended up in an area of baked goods at an unfamiliar store the other day. I could barely get out of that area fast enough. BUt that is not necessarily a bad thing. I would not recommend alcoholics hang out in bars and just try to drink Coke either.
