Topic: RE: Three Triggers
Triggers to pig out - Stress and anger - especially at work (my biggest achilles heel - I've got to learn to deal with stress and anger in ways other than eating to bury the feelings).
Triggers to graze - Boredom, pleasure seeking
Triggers to be compliant - Seeing a lower number on the scale, knowing that I'll feel good about myself when I get into bed tonight, fear of regain

Topic: RE: Introduction and thanks . . .
Hi Pat - I'm answering your msg to me here because I couldn't figure out how to respond the other way. I read Beck's book a couple of yrs ago, I guess, and it was the only thing that was helpful for me. Obviously, it didn't work for long because I ended up having surgery, but I have been meaning to go back and re-read it for a while because I felt it would be an excellent tool to use now that I can actually stick to a food plan (with the help of my sleeve). I'm a therapist, working in addiction, and her method makes total sense. To deal with any addiction, you have to get to the point where using the drug is not an option. No one has the will power to fight that "will I, won't I" for very long. Once overeating becomes as unthinkable as eating rat poison, then it becomes easy. Her premise that "hunger is not an emergency" was also very helpful for me. I can survive cravings and hunger and I won't die if I don't eat this minute. (That's way easier now since the surgery.)
BTW, I have an addiction to wasabi coated anything - finally had to let go of it - at least for now.

So how will we work this? Will we start at the same time and work it a week at a time like the book does? I'm still listening to the audiobook but haven't finished it yet. Today she talked about having a weight loss coach. It sounds like this is where we can really help each other. I read the "What are you eating today?" thread on the RNY forum but don't always post my meals there. I don't really see it as being accountable because I could say I ate three german chocolate cakes and a pound of lard and I don't think anyone would chastise me for it. I'm hoping this group will actually be an accountability group. If I know I'll be held accountable for eating off plan, I think I'm more likely to stick to the plan.
I was addicted to sugar pre-surgery. I loved candy corn, Sugar Babies, cotton candy, milk caramels -- it was like crack to me. I've got the sugar monster under control for now, but crunchy stuff has been making eyes at me and I'm succombing to the seduction. It's no-sugar-added granola and whole almonds that I crave now - relatively healthy stuff - but I struggle with eating a healthy portion and not over-indulging. I need for y'all to kick my booty when I lose control over that stuff.
Silly me thought I'd have surgery and all my food issues would be solved.

Topic: RE: Three Triggers
PIG OUT - Emotions - pretty much any emotion is fine with me.
Grazing - boredom
Compliant - I don't know - whatever it is I havn't found it yet - that is why I've put some of my weight back on.
