I've been seeing a therapist for a little over a year now. I've found that I have to be completely honest with myself no matter what and that helps because bingeing is a reaction to emotional issues....

Have you tried to find out how much makes you full? How much can you eat?

It's not always about will-power. There are some very potent chemicals in the processed foods we eat...

I just went to my first visit with a therapist yesterday. I believe that I am a food addict...

Awesome!!

My surgeon is very conservative and he says that carbonated drinks and alcohol are things to drink only rarely. I have some diet Pepsi once in a while, slowly, and only a couple ounces. I drank a lot...

I'm eleven days out and still on the protein shakes and yogurt diet per my surgeon. I've tried bites of other things like refried beans, English muffin, chicken soup with tiny pasta. Everything stays...

2014 is all set to be my best year ever!
