    crystalny got a reaction from samsmom in What Is Your New Favorite Drink?   
    My new favorite drink is water, surprisingly. Ice cold water. I am just over two weeks out and literally everything is too sweet for me that I have to dilute it tremendously so that it practically tastes like water.

    Last week I almost died having this surgery. I'm still feeling like a total fool who risked everything to be thin again. So I read threads like this thinking rather negative things I guess. I think the "offending" comment was actually quite well said. Bully for you now go work it off....in a nice way actually. You can't support someone who is sliding into their old world again. If she had said she had one bar I'd think that it was no big deal, but she had two.....two nice fat slider food bombs.
    My doctor warned me about the two year mark. People who hit it fit and completely changed in their poor life style choices stay healthy. But those who learn to manipulate their magic sleeve and fall back into the old ways are throwing this opportunity away. Treats are fine....but it is not "normal" to have two bars! My advice would be to remember to pay for your treat (evil exercise) and next time you feel the need to repeat an old habit I'd suggest you do so if you must...but absolutely do NOT go beyond a normal portion (1 bar in this case). And for gads sake don't eat all night long.
    It's not worth it. A real treat would have been a small hagendas scoop or some frozen yoghurt ONE SCOOP! Not two semi real ice cream bars wrapped in a fake cookie crust. .

    Vsginnj- what have to realize is to each his own- if he/ she is ok with eating TWO ice cream sandwiches - then that's his/her life- this is not your battle or concern - just take care of yourself. And please don't let these ppl upset you... I just look at it n be like Wow... Really? Then move on!

    What helps me is looking at the nutritional info on the package of the treat that I want. I don't know what ice cream sandwiches were eaten but I checked a few on my fitness pal and even the weight watchers brand were 30 grams of carbs each. That's 60 total for those 2 sandwiches. That's my motivation for not eating them right there.
    The other day I pulled into Sonic because my wife wanted a diet coke. I suddenly had the urge for some tater tots. Their tater tots are like little fried golden nuggets of sunshine to me, so I got a small order. As I drove away from the window, I put 3 or 4 in my mouth and dumped the rest in the trash can 10 feet past the drive thru window. I had to hurry and drive to that trash can before I got any more in my mouth. I could have eaten 2 big bags of them and I wouldn't have been any more satisfied or fulfilled so why not just throw them away.
