Self Realization? Hmmmmm!
I am in limbo about the head and body thing. This surgery took my hunger away and now food is not an issue. Is being overweight a mental issue for everyone? Could it be what I have thought my whole life, that I experienced greater hunger then most people? Is it possible that I could just not physically satiate myself? I am pondering these ideas. I think it may be different for everyone. Only time will tell. I am staying in touch with my feelings and thoughts. I just know that now that I am not hungry for the past 3 months I do not miss food or anything like that in fact I feel like I have been let out of food prison, like now I don't think of food all day every day and I can have my mind on so many other things. Most of my thoughts pre surgery was about food. No matter what event, it was always attached to what I could eat there. Hot DAMN I am glad that is gone. I never want to live like that again. RNY has changed my entire world by expanding everything else that exsisted and putting food on the shelf where it belonged. Gina : )

I agree it is so weird not to be hungry and not to think about food constantly. I do notice that when I am upset of stressed I walk to the panty to eat something evan though I am not hungry. I now take out my fustration on my family not good and working on it.
