The six months blues ...

I too am 6 months postWLS, and am down 131 lbs and I too love the new mobility that I have, just like you do! The thing about food tho, for me, is that I LOVE the fact that I can  go out for a dinner or cook a steak or make a bowl of stew....and it's TOO DANG MUCH for me to eat! I love that! After being able to have FOURTHS when it came to dinner - the fact that I now eat like 4 to 5 oz and feel FULL is a constant reminder that my life has changed. The extra food? I simply put it in some tupperware (or take it home in a doggy bag) and then smile as I realize - hey, that can be a snack later tonite, or maybe tomorrow's lunch AND dinner.... I think it's all in how you look at the "extra" food...to me, it's a "pat-on-the-back" type congratulations! Jim

Thanks for all the support and the tips. I like the idea of looking at the food going into the trash as a proud moment of triumph of me over the bad choices on food I have made in the past.

 

 

 

Plus, the comments regarding plastic containers makes waste less of a issue in my frugal mind, and more of a image of developing a new generation of leftovers. 

 

 

 

And yes, I need to exercise more and learn to enjoy that time alone with my thoughts. The strength of taking a controlling roll in my destiny is reason enough to get out and do fun things. Thanks to all, Herb
