Not wanting vs. not being able to eat/behavior mod

[Guest guest]

Regarding overeating, this is the kind of post that really offers the type

of information I am concerned abou tmost -- long term issue.

What I hope is not just what Lisbeth said below -- that " you know you

don't want it so go play or whatever " -- I am hoping what happens is " you

know you CAN'T put it in there so don't eve think about it. "

This is a very serious question for me!! Is it true that I will not be

able to eat as much for a long while, or am I fooling myself ?? I know the

stomach goes back to normal, but I am counting on behavioral changes in

this surgery simply because it is impossible to eat as much...please help....!!

*hugs* Pam,

Thanks for sharing this story. I thought I was crazy because I too have

done this continued to think about food like that. I think its a chemical

thing for me I equate it with being like an addict....For me food was my

addiction I used it to feel good...Now when I have those feelings I say to

myself... " Self you ate and you ate what you wanted if you really want more

go ahead and eat it...but you know you dont so go and play or read or

whatever. "
