We hear it day in and day out. In THIS group and on Facebook and in emails from the Podcast listeners.
You CANNOT expect to see lasting success after weight loss surgery if you are working tiny portions of junk foods into your life.
Whether it's 12 chips after a long run, 2oz of dark chocolate because "it's that time of the month" you are FOOLING yourself if you think that in 3 years you won't be able to eat more than 12 chips...or that a snickers bar at the gas station will be way easier to find than the 70% chocolate that you have to get on Amazon because the stuff at the grocery store is so bitter and dry it crumbles in your mouth.
