I went through the cupboards & fridge yesterday and got rid of all the unhealthy stuff. Friends had brought over ice cream, full fat egg nogg, breads, dips, Cookies and other stuff for our dinner and left them.

I hesitated tossing good food out but after having the second slice of crusty bread with brie I knew I had to. I've always considered my relationship to food much like that of an alcoholic and an alcoholic would not try to live with unopened bottles of booze. Plus I live alone so I can have more control over my space.

I did feel guilty and thought I could wait until Monday and perhaps give it to someone but when I started reaching for the ice cream I did what Weight Watchers suggests--destroy it! I put dish washing liquid on the ice cream and then everything went into a garbage bag and into the dumpster. I was on the edge of a full tilt lap band binge. I immediately felt so much better.

Today I woke up, had my oatmeal and I feel so much better with my kitchen in order. I only have unprocessed healthy foods and this is the way it should be. For me.:smile::biggrin::):biggrin:

good for you! I hate it when people try to leave leftovers at the fat persons house or buy the fat person candy, cakes and Cookies for holidays...

good luck!

Thank you. I wanted to post here as I can't really "share" this with most folk who wouldn't understand.Writing it also helps me remember that I need to do this.

Great Job! I did the same thing with all those Christmas Cookies friends gave me. For some reason it gave me more satisfaction to flush them down the toilet telling my self that is where they could go anyway, after leaving their calories on me!

Well, tomorrow is the big day for me, I'll be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. I am very lucky, only had to do one day of pre-op Clear liquids, with 2 or 3 Atkins shakes - it's going well so far. I don't feel too nervous, more concerned about following the diet after surgery, but I guess it will all fall into place and will be a continuing learning curve. Thank you to everyone who has posted on this website, I have learnt so much from you all.

December Delight here I come!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
