My obsessive thoughts about food arent limited to carbs. I just have a thing with eating...period.  lol.


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.

 Alison,

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

 Im really trying to get my head screwed on as straight as it'll go before I head to Dr. S for yet another major life change. I'm hardly getting used to my new identity and yet planning another - yikes! LOL.

Wow. This is exciting!  I know what it is like to obsess.  When you realize that you are not obsessing...VICTORY! Every victory counts.

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.

 Haha during meetings I will see people with their cakes and cookies and other junk and it'll just sit there, and they'll pick at a small piece over an hour and I'm sitting there thinking how the heck do people do that...give me some sugar and it's gone in a couple mins :-p  I'll sit there and think about it for the whole meeting.

These kind of days rock!  I'm glad you had a great day today after what you went through yesterday.

You are so right too.  The head games and struggle are much easier to deal with than being morbidy obese. 

I hope every day treats you this well!

 YOu showed your typical courage in posting this Alison, and it is appreciated.

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.
