MENTAL
NO im not crazy! lol but i am having a hard time with my emotional eating I havent been on here since january. I am 100pds down with 45pds to til my goal 145. I am currently 185-187 but had to meet with my therapist because physically my body has changed drastically but my mind still feels like that "fat" girl unfortuantely that is something that cant be done, lol wish they had a surgery for your dang brain that would help you catch up to your body and deal with the emotionally eating...that btw i have made myself sick trying to eat certain things when i am upset....i learned my lesson with that quickly that my pouch is not having it....thats why i am going to talk to someone about this "mental" thing ugggh
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
There is a good article at The gastric Bypass Family site about emotions and types of eaters. I think most of us have had issues with this at one time or another. That was one of my fears I told psych at my consult. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do this and would still eat to comfort myself. You are very brave for posting how you feel.
I can feel your pain - literally! Sometimes harm prevention can be an important tactic - when you're emotional, KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD! Distract yourself, journal, whatever you gotta do, but just don't go into the "danger zone" (aka - the kitchen). It's awesome that you're stepping up with therapy. Sometimes the hard-earned progress is the most meaningful.

Hey, girl!
Long time no see. Did you know there is a second support group each month run by Dr. Perkins. It is the second Wednesday every month. 5:30 to about 7, But you can come in late. It's a smaller group and we talk about things exactly like that... the emotional side. Its held at the same place as the regular support meetings. I usually go but I might miss the one this Wednesday because my mom just died and not sure what will be going on with the family Wednesday night. I will be there if I can.
