    Default Old habits die hard!!

    So i'm 7 weeks post -op and feeling wonderful! Food going down great no nausea and pain is gone However i already knew i was a food addict, but this journey has been a wake up call with it. While i was at home i was busy doing things around the house and watching every morsel that went in my mouth, and now that i am back to work it has been a daily struggle with snacking! I walk by the hard candy bowl and grab a piece, all the while thinking "just one piece wont hurt". Not to mention the times my boyfriend has went through the fast food joint and im thinking "One bite wont hurt". So yesterday i sat down and had a talk with myself lol. I told the old self that i had worked to hard to get where i'm at and i be damned if she was going to get the my way of the new self's goal! The journey is not easy nor is it a easy way out but i have NO regrets of the surgery, best thing i ever did. But i realize i will be fighting with the old self for as long as i live. and that's ok cause i will get to my goal i am to determined not to. So anyone wanting the sleeve it's not easy but oh so worth it God Bless.

    Hello- As Karen5 mentioned above comments/stories like this help, i too am awaiting my upcoming survey 4/6/15. i've started sharing with friends/family who have already been commenting on what I'm eating. I rely don't need this as I beat myself up for same reasons as you mentioned on "only one won't hurt me". I trying to get that out my system as not to take old habits with me, but as you said some habits are harder to break than others! continued to success on your achievements, you can do this!! Wink*
