Welcome! What kind of surgery did you have 4 years ago? How did your post surgical weight loss go? Was it pretty smooth? What kinds of things did you do after surgery to make it successful for you?
 
I’m still preop, so I’m anxiously awaiting surgery still. It sounds like you were very successful after surgery. Why do you think you turned back to sugar and bread? I know a lot of people here have been struggling with the extra stress this year. I am one of them. For me I have to remember why I am having the surgery vs what I’m eating. Being preop I’m still focusing on preop goals. What, besides losing weight, brought you to the decision to have weight loss surgery? Maybe going back to your original intent could help.

it was the best decision I ever made. Once I started eating candy and not feeling sick it did me in. Work on corona floor at hospital very stressful and food was our escape everyone brought us food. No excuse. I can't believe it creap ed up so fast. But it's time I hate not fitting in my pants like years ago.

Recognizing our triggers is a huge step. You’ve done that, so that’s a great jumping off point. Short term goals are much more manageable than long term. The way I see it, short term goals can be small and adjustable. Creating a couple small goals to get you started might help. Once you’ve conquered those, you’ll probably feel more confident.
