I am in deep Mourning!!

It has finally come to me after all of the wonderful responses I received from my last post. I am in deep mourning. I have loss my best friend. FOOD. It never dawned on me before that I abused food the way I did. I never realized how much I depended on food until now. I find that as soon as I am stressed good or bad I am ready to reach for something to shove in my mouth. So I had to find something else. It is still hard no matter how much I try and divert my attention to something else,but at least it is a start. I bought the Gazelle Elite by Tony Little and now when I am stressed good or bad I HOP on Tony and ride into the sunset. I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your kind words and heartfelt emails. I know this is just the begining for me and that things will get better. I am slowly but surely learning the meaning "Patience is a Virtue". Adrienne

Adriene, I am so glad that you are feeling at least a little better. I know that we all must go thru that at some time during our journey. For if we did not have a problem with food we would not be where we are right? Keep us posted. Tammy

Oh my, can I ever relate. I am almost 1 month out and each day has had its challenges. The number of food "triggers" for me is astounding. I think the hardest part is that there are no breaks. This surgery is relentless. I know it gets better because yesterday was a bit easier than the day before. Here's to learning how to live without our addiction. Best of luck to us all!
