Are you still in the "food fight"? Do you continue to test your limits, eating beyond satisfaction or grazing? Are you spending your days planning to eat, eating, and regretting eating?

This is a vicious cycle that you can end. It's time to surrender. Time to admit that your way isn't working and to try someone else's plan. If you are unsure of what you need to be eating, make an appointment with a WLS-knowledgeable nutritionist. Surrender means you let go of the cycle, choosing instead to open yourself up to the guidelines of people who have a healthier perspective on eating.

Action for the day: Think about your current relationship with food. Are you worried and obsessed, or are you at peace? Take an honest look, and if you are still fighting with food, it's time to negotiate a surrender. Make an appointment with a nutritionist and reach out to your support system.
