Today I Learned....

First the temptation = a whole grocery store!!!

Second the lesson = I can overcome being hurt and upset without food. I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head....from chocolate to cookies to diet soda to chips but INSTEAD I decided I would only be hurting ME and I am on this journey for ME so why hurt ME?! I sat and read a book for over an hour before I vacated my car. Then I saw a Dollar General and thought maybe they would carry the non food item I wanted and they did so I bypassed the grocery store all together!!

Third the other lesson = call a friend, read a book, text somebody, just do something besides giving into emotional eating!

onward and downward.........

Post Op Day 110
Good day yesterday ~ must focus on only eating when hungry or I will quickly & easily fall back into my old eating habits ~ go figure ~ just when I thought it was ALL about the band!! (like I didn't know it would require work on my part ... you know eating right and exercising!!)
