What are your absolutes? Please share.
Have some absolutes.
The trouble with having an overeating problem is you can't swear off food completely. You have to eat. In addition, you are around all kinds of food all the time. It's hard to resist. While there are plenty of gray areas when it comes to the WLS lifestyle, you can have some absolutes.
To give yourself some freedom over uncertainty, consider selecting a few foods or behaviors to which you will apply absolute rules. Be absolute about not eating refined sweets and carbohydrates, for example. Or, never drink soda. Or, walk every day.
Action for the day: Pick one thing you can be absolute about that will benefit your health. Write a contract with yourself (and be sure to sign it) stating what you will always (or never) do in support of your WLS goals.

Please share yours with me. I need some more absolutes I know and I am just interested in knowing what is one or some of your absolutes since you had your surgery.
I am working on making fried foods an absolute NO-NO also.

Someone gave me the 12 stages of WLS from NAWLS. Even in there it talks about 'testing' your boundaries, relapsing, and gaining weight. I don't believe that relapse is inevitable and everyone can't come back from a relapse. I don't want to know if I can eat sugar and not dump or if I can come back from a relapse. Never thought about making a contract with myself, but I will write one now.
Thanks for bringing this up.
