I am an emotional eater. I get upset, I eat. I get mad, I eat. I am wronged, I eat. And I don't eat things that are good for me...oh no, I eat crap. And the worst thing is, the crap tastes like crap. And I know it is bad for me. But, I do it anyway. And you know why, because I know that the crap I put in my mouth, will make me feel more angry and more mad and more sad. I will feel like a loser...a failure.
Well, in order to get yourself ready for gastric bypass you have to start thinking differently. You have to look at those actions and call them for what they are...a crutch. You have to stop being your own worse enemy. You have to take responsibility for letting others decide your destiny. Will there be times where you slip up and eat crap? Dear Lord yes! But even those times, you must name it for what it is. But how do you do that?
Somebody disappoints you. They let you down. Do you eat cake? No, you tell them they disappointed you , then you put a plan in place so it doesn't happen again.
You are overlooked for a promotion. Do you eat cookies? No, you talk to you manager and find out why you were overlooked and put a plan in place to remedy the issue.
Somebody calls you fat or another heinous name. Do you make pancakes? NO! You tell them you are working on yourself. You tell them you are not where you want to be, but you are on track to be there. And you double down on your exercise. You have a plan. You are amazing. You got this.
Food is not our friend. Food is energy needed to make us spectacular. It is a tool to help us function and be healthy and happy.
You are your best friend. You can make a difference in your own life. Be strong!
