Miracles happen!
The horrible and ironic thing about this donut issue - I have always hated donuts. From the time i was in jr high and i was teased about donuts and what not - donuts were not something i cared for. I personally never thought "hey let me get a donut" and i was more or less ambivalent when they were around.
Fast forward to post op when I dont eat a lot of junk and donuts are the go-to food in my office....combined with a high stress environment and it created this MONSTER in my head. Its so weird to me.

I am constantly impressed by the changes you are making in your health. I am even following you on the Sauceda board! I too, have food related OCD and cronic anxiety. I know that being unmedicated surely led to my regain, and subsequently, when I went back on my OCD meds, it surely helped me drop the regain. I hope you figure out the best solution for you, but I say take those meds the doctor gave you. All the best, Heather

I've been under a lot of stress and anxiety. The next couple of weeks will be really hard, but admitting that has been really helpful.
BTW, I tend to obsess over whatever carby thing someone is eating right in front of me while I am doing a presentation.
Congrats.

I know what you mean about the compulsions - they can rear their ugly head at any time. I am starting therapy as I move into maintenance because I know as I increase my calories I will start negotiating with myself and I want my toolbox strengthened. Accountability helps, but there is nothing more effective than preparation and self awareness.
Glad the Donut demon got beat. Keep up the great work.
