good post vacation even with cheating
· edieparks · 10/10/2006 01:40
Well I had my first week where I didnt eat so healthy and lost 3 lbs!
Ate out three meals and it wasnt worth it. My hubby doesnt care about food and spent a week seeing every meal I ate. I drank milkshakes (with sf ice cream) and bought some sf mints and pecan clusters. I wasnt sure I wouldnt enhale the bags of candy (7 pieces) but my trusty band said one piece is enough . I worked out in the exercise room and exercised in the pool. So vacation is still good even without food.
I just knew I gained but I didnt. The only thing I didnt do is drink my liquid quota. I hate public restrooms so I slacked off on that park. Lots of shopping (walking) .
Im proud of myself.

feeling so good
· edieparks · 09/14/2006 05:11
I feel so in control. I feel like I am beating my food addiction. I feel full so I dont have my craving to eat junk food. Its kind of neat because my intake is so small I want to have good healthy choices.
A friend didnt understand why I hadnt gone out to eat since banding. She is skinny . So I feel she is sort of right. When we go on vacation I am going to make a point to enjoy the doing the restaurant thing. I have enjoyed having a big dinner twice with family. I ate a small amount. I still enjoyed the family . Its not about food.
I admit I have eaten chips a few times but I was happy with just a few. Before.... I was such a 272 lb glutton. The chips,crackers,ice cream and candy is humilating to think about now.
I saw my MD today and he was so proud of me. The benefits for my diabetes is blowing my mind.
I was day dreaming about a doughnut hole today. lol. A hole! Not a dozen!!!!
I feel like I am on this wonderful adventure and am enjoying it. Im not missing all the crud I used to put in my body.
I am 8lbs from the half way mark .
I bought some 20 jeans today and a pair of 18 because I know I will be there.

good friday
· edieparks · 09/08/2006 23:42
My scale said 214 today. I have increased my time at the gym to 1 1/2 hours. I am getting addicted to exercise. I guess that really isnt a problem. In the back on my mind I wonder will I keep it up.
I was able to eat mushies yesterday and even a whole banana today.
Food intake much better.
200 here I come!

water exercised for 1 hour 15 minutes
2 30 minutes walks (beautiful day)
Had a good food choice day too
scales this morning 216!
Now Im starting to think about once I get to goal , how the hell am I going to keep it off?
Will I start buying cookies and lie to myself and say I'll only eat one a day?
Will I ever be able to have anything really mouth watering in my house again Damn it.
I have had to cut myself off from sf pudding because I was so weak .
I was bringing two containers to eat at one time.
The sf carmel was just to f***** GOOD.
