Just depressed
Talking and writing about it is good. If it persists (couple of weeks or so) then see a therapist.
BTW, cheetos don't make me full. It is the one food that I found to be a slider food. I haven't had them in over a month because I had to put a halt to it.
Tomorrow is another day. Make a plan to do something out of the house besides the gym or restaurant.

Thank you all so very much for your words of encouragement and hope and ideas! Today was better, having some home issues (with an adult child!) which I think triggered some feelings for my old friends, food friends that is. But am very pleased with myself that I never gave in to them. I would think Cheetos would be a slider food for me, so I will not buy any, hopefully never!
Today I took a long drive to go buy strawberries, yes strawberries! You ask how far? Well is 80 miles one wat far enough? I know that sounds crazy especially with the gas prices, but believe me it is worth it! In addition to that, it got me out of the house, out of my rut, not thinking about eating when I really am not hungry and just gave me a change of scenery. So I bought a bunch, some for dipping in chocolate, yes chocolate! Has anyone ever tried BRIX chocolate? I found it when visiting my daughter in Texas at the World Market. It is amazing, I buy the extreme dark. I think what drew me to it was that it pairs nicely with wines and gives suggestions. That is about the only off of plan indulgence I have allowed myself since surgery. About 4 months out, I have allowed myself to have a few sips of a good wine and a small piece of dark chocolate once in a while. Those are two things I never over indulged in before vsg, and it's a real treat now and again.
I try not to beat myself up about it, because I chose not to deviate from plan until I reached goal weight, and I hate to use the word "but", but if that's the worst I do every other week I can live with it. I am still losing and close to goal, and as long as I stay in control and on plan 99.9% of the time I am ok with it. Not saying everyone should, but it's working for me.
Anyway, don't want to bore anyone, just went on a rant..........! Really just want to say thanks to all of you for your comments yesterday, it really helped. Who else really understands but our OH family! Thanks for being there for me when I most needed you!
Happy rest of the weekend all!!!!!!!!
