Slider foods and evil carbs
Does anyone else have any issues with the persistant urges to eat those slider type foods? I do my best to completely isolate myself from them, but sometimes I see a bag of chips or popcorn and know - because I've done it a couple of times - that I can eat quite a lot of these foods. And even in those cases, I stopped because I knew what I was doing was wrong, not that I felt any restriction. I feel restriction with most normal food and can only eat 4 or 5 oz of real food, but it seems scary that conceivably I could go on a binge like I used to do sometimes when I was pre-op.
It is scary because I'm starting to notice I can eat more than I could just a few months ago. I am a binge eater and I have to take it day by day. Some days are good (today for example, yey me!) and others aren't...but as long as I am aware of what I'm doing and try to fix it, that's progress.
Chips are the devil and I usually don't have them in my house but somehow we got home with a bag of Doritos from camping and it's like my brain can't forget they are there sitting in the cupboard. Darn brain...

haha oh mannn, do i feel ya on this one. im 19 months out of surgery and carbs are my downfall. and i was so good at restricting my intake of them, but lately i've def. fallen off the bandwagon. i need to get super strict with my protein intake again, bc i know that has been slacking since my carbs have increased. yikess..... no weightgain, but minimal weight loss and i know i can still loose that last 20lbs. i gotta get my butt in gear. like now. lol
