I had OCD the first 3 years and then bam this year (since October) I just didn't want to do it anymore. I didn't want to cook. I wanted to eat "crap." My restriction is GREAT. My good meals are balance but on those moments when I eat "crap" insert ANY carb (except bread and rice) I can eat a **** load and feel almost NO restriction. So yes in FOLLOWING that rule I'm great...it's when my head doesn't want to play anymore that it's a problem.
I'm fighting my way back and being accountalbe on here helps

I couldnt have said it better.. You now, Im sure 90% of us feel the same way.. Its a hard ..."life long batte"...We all know our WLS was NOT a Magic pill, Just simply a tool to help us in ONE AREA. Its the damned Evil Brain, that is conspireing against us !! We all Ride the excuss train Daily.. This is where i think The psych. End of the counciling would have been nice. (at least in my case )AS I write this response.. I am munching on a Snack bag of doritos !!! JEEZ-O SEE !!!!! Its Not about Self denial at all. It the food choices we make.. In an ideal world,.. We would have a Little person in our pockets, Steering us away from danger.. BUT.. For now.. all we have is each other.. and that will have to do.. YOU CAN DO THIS.. look what you .. ( ALL OF US ) have done in the months and years before..TODAY.. "Not tomorrow" Make better food choices and Times.. And Physically and mentally....." JUST SAY NO !! " And Its a SLow process.. The weight will fall off again.. Just gotta be Comitted to the cause !
