10 lbs. down!!!!

So today is my 7th day and I am 10 lbs. down! I am so happy I don't know what to do! I must admit I have had some hard times like Sat. My daughter had her 9th birthday party and wanted KFC so I had to make all these plates of chicken, mashed patatos and gravy and mac and cheese! That was super hard!!!! I just wanted a bite, but stayed strong and I am telling you that is saying alot for me! I have worked out 2 times and that is also something new! So I just wanted to share and yes it is hard when everyone around you is eating but for me, what make it easy is thinking about this oppertunity I have coming up and how happy I will be in the long run and being able to play with my 9year old and 3 year old for once! They need me I am a single parent and want to see them have babies and graduate and so on... OK that's all I am going to say for now..

    Good for you! Congratulations on losing and being strong. I do think you can just "taste" a bite, but sometimes that is harder than just passing -- remember KFC has skinless grilled breasts and green beans that are ok for us! :rolleyes:

    hey that is wonderful on your weight loss!! i know it's hard to pass on the food..it was hard on the pre op diet when i had to cook for my family but i got through it. I have found out that if you allow yourself a LITTLE bit of what you want it will not leave you 1) not craving it so bad and 2) not wanting to eat everything else coz you are trying to satisfy that craving. The exercising will help alot so try to stick with it! My nurse said to do it 7 days a week but that really isn't doable so i try to get atleast 5 days in! anyway good luck girl! :)
