So the question everyone is asking is "did I turn to my old friend McDonalds for some greasy cheeseburger and french-fry snuggle time?" No! Did I want to? You bet! Was it hard? 
Extremely! Did I make some poor choices these past few weeks? Yes! Did it make my pain disappear? No. Did I feel better? In that moment for a few minutes I told myself I felt better. 20 minutes later did I feel miserable? YES.
If it wasn’t for my support system of family, friends, colleagues, dietitians and other bariatric patients I would not make it through times like these. LIFE IS HARD AND FOOD IS EASY. That is the honest truth. I live with a food addiction everyday and some days I have to tell myself to go minute by minute and hour by hour. When that day is over I have to remind myself how much I accomplished.
Life is full of stressors, emotions and celebrations. A typical day can be filled with the emotion of balancing work and home lives. Some of us are facing the anxiety of looking for a new job due to today’s economic times and layoffs. Each new day is a fresh start and full of opportunities and choices.
What will my choices be today? What will your choices be today?
