Hey everyone. I went back to work today - took an extended vacation from work after being banded. Anyways, when lunch hour came people asked me where I was going for lunch - I was notorious for being the "food getter" cause everyone always knew I was going SOMEWHERE for lunch. Well I suprised them all!!! Now keep in mind that I have ZERO restriction and I can eat anything - and I do mean ANYTHING - and wont be getting my first fill until Jan 5th. I could have easily went to Panera Bread and got a sandwich and soup - they have the BEST food I have ever tasted........but to make a long story short, guess what I did. I went down to our company gym and got on the TREADMILL for 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it myself. I had brought 2 chicken wings and a leg for lunch - only protein - and I stuck with that!!!! Wow - I never thought I could do it. All the while I am telling myself "you can have it - you can eat anything right now. You won't be able to do that after you get your fill". And when it came down to it I passed. Now guess what's going through my head? Guess how much money I am going to have to spend on a NEW WARDROBE since I am not going to be eating out for lunch anymore!!! That is so much better than eating!!!!
