I want to eat everything...anything!!

Oh this is getting rough. I thought I could do the one cup thing and I am for the most part but realistically it's more like 1cup and a half. Today is the first day that I have felt like this after 5 weeks. I want to eat a burger, fries, chips, dip, or anything really that comes my way. I haven't yet. Instead I had a protein bar (after eating a chicken leg for lunch), and I have been drinking tons and tons of water. I drove by A&W and wanted the 2 mama's for $5.00. I didn't give in. I really wanted too though.

Any idea's anyone? I am craving some serious flavor and no calories since I have another weigh in/appt on Jan 16th. If not I will tough it out but my stomach is screaming out to me from down below that it has had enough.

Anyone else feeling this way? I am sure after surgery you don't feel this way because your stomach is so much smaller.

ARGHHH!!!!! 

I really worry about feeling hungry and I guess a lot of that is psychological. I will have to work with mind over matter.  The nurse warned me that I will be hungry and I just have to deal with that.  However I haven't started yet so I can't really speak to that yet.  The nurse said that I can start my diet today or the day I see the surgeon which is in a week and a half.  I am thinking of starting it Monday. 

Today I went shopping and bought a bunch of those tuna salads in a can...premade.  It will be good protein and is already the size of one cup. ...or thereabout.

First off STOP stressing cause it'll make you want to eat even more. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can do this and you are worth doing it.
Fast food is not the way to go but sometimes being overweight they target us with those sblimations message through their outside boards and comericals. Damn and the worst thing is we fall for it.
If worst comes to worst eat more than a cup but add veggies which are virtually zero calories. It's an adjustment and it's gonna take time for your body to deal with it. Sad to say it takes your head even longer, even after weight loss your head catches up very slowly. You'll have those days when you look in the mirror and see the old "Fat "you. Also sorry to say you can and may have times like this after surgery. You may have a smaller stomach but you still have to deal with the issues that got you obesed in the first place. The first family function or outing is hard and even harder if you a e like me and my family doesn't know. You tend to want to eat the old way but can't.  There are st ill times at 15 months out I say to myself oh god thats so good I so wish I could eat more. I still like to have junk food and thats a head thing but if I'm craving it bad I can have a little and control it, a few chips does it now instead of a bag like before.
Good luck in your journey and know that you are never alone.

Kee.

Thanks for the support ladies.

I think I will just have to have more than 1 cup sometimes to help curb those cravings. Thanks for all of the idea's.

 It's just nice to know that you all understand and are going through the same thing.
