Keep food in a healthy perspective.

Keep food in a healthy perspective.

To be successful after WLS, it's best to get your comfort from things other than food. Comfort can come from hugs, from wrapping in a warm blanket, from turning to a friend, from journaling your thoughts, and from keeping your hands busy.

Try to think of food as nourishment for your body, and look for new things to nourish your soul. Food is a necessary part of our day, but not the whole of it.

Action for the day: Are you thinking too much about food? Today, when you notice yourself thinking about food (other than at meal time), practice changing your focus.
