ps...as a side note, does anyone else feel sad because you have to

" diet " now? I thought once I had the surgery I would never utter that

word again. Guess I was wrong :(

Yes, I sort of do! Partially because I messed up, but I was so surprised to

hear of all the others that do this. I didn't think it'd ever be a " free

for all " but I didn't expect this either. However, when I get down about

it, I think about where I was over 100 pounds ago and am grateful that at

least I had a huge jump start. Also, I remind myself it's healthier eating

which will help me in the long run.

Well, you know the old saying " Be careful what you wish for " ? The

way I look at it is I always wanted to be normal...now I am, and like

most normal-weight people, dieting is a part of it.

Not really - I guess I had pretty good education going into this, because

it was really stressed that this is only a tool, we have to work at it,

etc. The other thing that was stressed is that the surgery itself only

provides a loss of around 70% of your excess weight. The final 30% is all

diet and exercise, just like everyone else. So there really weren't any

big surprises for me in that respect.

I guess I don't view my new way of eating as dieting. I view it as finally

being able to eat the way I always knew I was supposed to, but could never

get my body to cooperate with. I know I'm not as far out as some - perhaps

this viewpoint will change with time. But for now, I'm actually really

content and feeling healthier than I have in years - maybe ever.

I don't call it dieting. I call it behavior modification. And it's a tool.

And for me, it's my plan. To me, " diet " means a temporary change that

is doomed from the beginning to fail. Gives me those same chills. A

plan, on the other hand, is something that helps keep me on the road

to success.

I don't diet, per se. I just try to make better choices. I allow myself

a slip once in a while because I had never been a food addict

pre-op and it is easy for me to get back on track. But, this sounds

trite I know and aren't we all sick of hearing this phrase: wls is

only a tool.

I refuse to think of this as a diet. This is a lifelong change in

eating style leaning toward healthy foods and making sure to be

diligent about protein supps and vites for the rest of my life.

(Thank always to Vitalady for showing me the light.)

If you had a disease that would only stay in remission if you took

a shot once a week wouldn't you take that shot? Well, obesity is

a disease, right? Wls is the tool to keep it at bay, but it isn't the

only means to do it. It sucks, I hate it, but I have to do my part. I

can't fix my genetic predisposition to be fat so I have to slay that

dragon every day.

If what I eat and what I am doing is considered " dieting " then I

guess I am. I have to say this is the only diet that I've managed to

stick to, because I choose to look at it as if I don't have a choice

to eat any other way.

Now, if I could just get the exercising part down.....sigh.
