Eating too much

I just discussed this with my doc! Also, my surgery was 11/11/24. I really have had to depend on my support system during those moments. It's so easy to fall back into bad eating habits which lead to the need of this surgery in the first place so being able to talk to my partner during those moments has been super helpful. I also did get small plates, spoons, and forks plus eating my meals in the kitchen rather than in front of the tv. I feel it's easy for people to use the word mindful but that truly is what is needed while I'm eating and learning new ways to eat. I also do work with my therapist pretty closely and she has been fantastic. This is truly a mental game! Not sure if any of that is helpful for you but I just wanted to share what I have found to work with that same struggle!

I am going to talk to my primary about seeing a therapist because I think along with my depression and anxiety that’s where the over eating disorder comes from. I often feel like I have no control over my emotions and actions. I do have the smaller plates forks and spoons my dietitian said to weigh my food, I’m also going to try that. The hardest is not drinking while I eat! Omg I should’ve practiced more

My surgery was August 2020 and over eating is the biggest issue ...for me if it's on my plate I'm going to eat it and finish it full or not......which is sad....self control is a mind thing . You would think me feeling full would make me stop and I tell myself when I get the full feeling STOP.....I don't...I feel sick ....I get mad at myself depressed and tell myself next time I'm going to stop. Now I try not to put alot on my plate so if I do finish then it won't be so bad. When we go to restaurants I order a appetizer as my main course because they give smaller portions.
But don't beat yourself up just continue to try. Every day is a new day just try to do better the next day.
