Newbie Intro
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for your response.... you've given me an additional factor to think about that i wasn't aware of before! And that is "Gastric Bypass patients can never have sugar again." I didn't realize that and to be honest, that will be a tough one for me so I have to give that some thought. The desire is there--I KNOW the junk food and unhealthy food choices are bad for me. I SEE daily the impact poor choices have had on my body. BUT.....can I give it up for LIFE in order to have a better QUALITY of life? I sometimes wonder if I've gotten addicted to the sugar and junk food because there are times when I can go without it but it DOES impact my mood--at least for the short term. I'm HAPPIER with my goodies --but the truth is, I don't think it's LASTING happiness because of the weight.
Sorry to be so long winded
and thanks again for the welcome.
Lori
