For no reason

I have realized a lot about my eating habits during this short process with Medifast. I have learned that I love to eat and want to eat all the time, whether I am hungry or not. I have realized that I think about food all of the time. It's taken such extreme will power to stop all my old bad habits. No more drive thrus or runs to 7-11. I eat what's in my house, which is basically just Medifast food for now. Over time, I think these thoughts will wane, but for now, it's tough. As always, if I don't start eating something, I'm fine. I am not tempted and don't ask if I want something. I did great on vacation, even though I cheated a little. I was shocked to see when I came home and weighed myself that I was 3 pounds heavier, but the next morning, I was right back down to my weight pre-vacation. I believe it was all water weight because of all the water I drank due to the extreme heat. Today, I am finally past that 10.2 lb. mark. Friday is my last appointment with my surgeon before my actual surgery. Excited!!

  1. It's just plain hard! Thanks for sharing so many of your thoughts and feelings --- it gets me thinking about why I eat. I am cycling through a weight gain phase in my roller coaster of weight!
