2 days Pre-Op-Fighting temptation

It's Saturday, I'm at work for the last time before my surgery. Feeling ambivalent about that. I like my job (most days) and will miss my co-workers while I'm off. Tomorrow I start clear liquids. Have to get more SF Popsicles. I've munched through my supply during my pre-op diet. These have been a blessing. I really like crunching and being able to munch on a popsicle has kept me away from the Pringles (now banned from my house). Today, I'm struggling against wanting to get "one last" goodie before I start clear liquids.

 

Yesterday a well-intentioned aquaintance brought me a little present from a new bakery that opened nearby. It was a chocolate dipped croissant and it looked and smelled heavenly. I have no idea how it tasted. I gave it to one of my co-workers. Yay me. She also brought me a menu from the place, which was worse that the treat. They have these things called papa rellenas (potato balls). OMG...I've been looking for these things since having them at a party 5 years ago. They're these little balls of mashed potato filled with seasoned ground beef, then lightly breaded and deep-fried...mmmmmmmmmm. I REALLY want one. Really, really want one. I keep trying to justify going over there and getting just one to satisfy the craving. I feel like, if I have just one I can stop obsessing over it. But I also realize that, if I allow myself to have one, I set myself up for allowing myself other things. I know it's best to just stick to my plan. I'm going to try.:cursing:

How true!! A student brought me 3 homemade cookies. I told him not to but he did anyway. Well needless to say I took a teeny bite of one, spit it out and threw the rest away. I know that I can't even start going down the cookie road. One bad choice takes me from my goal. Congrats for staying strong in the face of temptation and good luck to you in your journey!!!
