Valentine's Day-The cruelest day!

I'm in a room of sweets and no one is here to see me eat this forbidden stuff.  How long can I hold out?  I know my mind is not in the right place if I am having these thoughts.  I haven't eaten anything off plan yet but...
I remember how much of everything I used to scarf before-all those years of scarfing.
Have I really gotten control over myself?  Or is it just a matter of time, and place, and cir****tance?
Wish me luck , friends.

You can do it! You've come so far already...doesn't it feel great? It's not worth ruining for a bite of chocolate!

Hang in there you got this. Remember what life was like before? It's not worth the chocolate to go back to that. sending lots of positive vibes your way!

We cannot help having food thoughts.  We do not have to act on them.  I lose control after the first bite, so it is really important for me to not *start*.  You can do it!!

P.S.  It is only my addiction that tells me that sweets are worth losing my peace of mind for.  That monkey on my back tells me I am deprived and I can have just one piece.  Right... No.  Nothing is more horrible that the despair I feel when I spiral into the food.  The pleasure lasts for less than an instant, then the horrible, incomprehensible demoralization.

This is my exact fear now that the Lap Band Failed me and I can only eat the bad foods and I have allowed the depression to lead me back to chocolate. I need to see a NUT and to go to counseling again for awhile and get things back on track.  But I still have to wait for Medicare to approve the Sleeve..

Thank you friends
I made it through the day.  Thank you for your good words and vibes!  It worked!
