It's time to come clean. I have not been a faithful gastric bypass patient. I am fortunate to not have had a lot of complications with my surgery. I don't have a lot of trouble with carbs, sugar etc. Some sugar does give me a stomachache for a little bit after I eat it, but for some reason it doesn't stop me from eating it. I've eaten a PB sundae from Friendly's, M&M's, cookies and others. Why, I ask myself? I have forgotten why I did this in the first place. I have been taking advantage of this gift I have been given. I am taking it for granted. I am not changing my behavior. I am going through a stressful time right now, trying to loose weight, job searching and having a good friend move far away. I am eating my emotions now more than ever. I am being foolish. I am so frustrated with myself.
I need to focus. I need strength. I need to concentrate on me and my goals. One thing I have learned throughout this entire journey is that willpower is everything. You have to have the strength to stand up to your biggest critic and pressure....yourself.
Can I do this....?
