Great point. I am definitely going to try to do that. Sometimes when I have so far to go  I feel like this little bit of compliance aint worth much. Rewarding positive behavior with non food rewards...will hato work towards that.

Amen to that! Welcome

Happy, I did the opposite LOL.  Someone recommended just the workbook if you already know you have the issues.  The workbook just focuses on the steps I guess.  Seems pretty self explanatory to me.  I may have to go back and get the book though.

Thank you for doing this and being so honest about your struggles.  I am only 3 months out and last night I broke down and decided I could eat pretty much the same as pre surgery, and I really had very little restriction with a few exceptions . Like I can't tolerate water.  I had a full blown pity party, but the emotions and feelings were those familiar ones of "this is for everyone else, but not you"  Stinkin' Thinkin' but hard to fight years of feeling this way.  So many people on the other forums just don't get the emotional part of it or the fact that some people just have different restriction.  The only time I was honest on the other board I was immediately attacked by a couple of people who for the life of me have so much self discipline I can't figure why they had to have surgery!! It reinforces the feelings of failure.
ANYWAY, I bought the Beck workbook early post op (I sensed I wasn't emotionally where I needed to be).   I pray I can follow through and join you on this journey.  Free Spirit, you sound like you really get it.  Thanks again.

lol...girl!!!! I was sooo uspet when the book called me out!! That is sad that people would be trying to tempt you.
