Why did I go through this surgery just to eat things I'm not suppose to?

I had RNY on 4/10/02 & have just been okayed to start adding things to my diet. For what ever reason I choose things to eat not because I'm hungery but just because of my head hunger & because it's convient or there. I cannot seem to get past this. This is driving me nuts! I feel like why the heck did I go through all of this just to eat things I'm not suppose to. I know I can't be expected to be perfect all of the time, BUT. For example today I had a few bites of FRIED CHEESE and also tried two cookies because it was fast and it was there. That is so bad!! It's almost like I don't know how to eat right or something! What can I do to stop this? I do go to support group meetings once a month & I did see a dietician once before my surgery. Part of it is, I am only cooking for myself & don't really like to cook all that much for just me. Any suggestions on foods that are fast and don't require much cooking because I'm constantly on the go? I eat things only out of convience. Obviously that is what got me here in the first place!! Does this make sense? Any other suggestions to try to stop this?
