What length would you go to lose weight?

[Blubayou]

I don't know- I don't feel like I am starving myself- It is becoming an obsession with me to get this weight off. I have lost weight in the past and have not had this much trouble. Don't give me permission to eat- because I can do a great job of it. That is my problem - I love to eat. I have a question for those who have had the surgery- Do you miss food? So many of our celebrations and family activities are around food- and I just love good food- I know you can eat after the surgery, but have to watch what you eat and the amount- Do you miss it?

Do I miss it? Every day. The surgery was on my stomach and intestines....not my brain!

One still has to develop good habits or I can eat small amounts of bad food all day and defeat the purpose. What I miss the most is In-an-Out!!!!!!!!!

I don't miss eating a lot, but I can eat whatever I want, just can't eat a lot of it.

It's weird though, cause I used to love things like chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, and a bloody ribeye.

Well, I can still have those things, but strangely, I can eat just one cookie, and I feel like I've had half a dozen. I can have three bites (equal to one of my old bites, as I take smaller bites now), and I feel like I've had a large piece. I have 2 oz of bloody steak and I feel like it's been 12 oz.

So I have satiety when I eat, which is important.

And I don't have that urge to get 'just one more piece' or 'just one more scoop' to have that satisfaction.

When I feel like I'm getting full, I'm done eating. And I don't even want anything else for a while.

When I'm real serious about losing weight I do the Hallelujah Diet. Total Vegan.
