 |  kind NSV (non scale victory)
So today I'd eaten my lunch and had plenty of food. But I got the craving for an ice cream sandwich (a Skinny cow which I love - it's chocolate and ice cream and low fat... YUM).
Then I realized that I wasn't hungry - I was just eating for fun and saying "well it's only two points so big deal".
But it was the principle of the thing. Do I, as a metabolically challenged person have the luxury of eating when I'm not hungry. So I reminded myself that I wasn't hungry and that was the end of that! 
(Now I need to get a new bathing suit. I put my old size 16 one on and it fell off...  )

Thanks!!! Actually if you think of it, those of us who got very fat were doing just what our friends around us were doing! But it only makes 17% of us "clinically obese".
thanks for your kind words.. you have done great also... you look awesome!!!  *hugs*
As for the bathing suit, I'll have to figure out what, how and where... it's been a long time!

Sue - congrats on the NSV. I too like that "metabolically challenged" distinction, and will have to remember to use that sometime. Have fun picking out a bathing suit.

Congrats on the NSV.
For me, regarding Skinny Cows...I can't buy those things. Even post op, if I eat one I have to eat 4. I just know that, accept it, and ban them from my life. lol

I'm like you judijo..I buy them and call my sister to come and get half the box. Sue..age is relative! Buy what you like and wear it with pride! I for one would love one of the old hollywood movie Marilyn Monroe style bathing suits. I saw the host guy on "how to look good naked" in a 1920's swim suit complete with the ruffled cap! too funny

I read someplace Food is not your friend, its your fuel.
I agree with this, and know I have mistakenly used food as a friend many times in the past. I do think its ok and preferable to enjoy food, as long as its a good fuel at the same time(not junk). I think eating because of head hunger is less bad when your aware what it is, the food is good fuel and you need fuel when you eat it.
I might add "food should not be used as a drug" to that saying too...high glycemic index carbs....def addicting!
