I went to McDonalds last night with my hubby and our four kids for dinner since we had to go to my oldest kids open house at school. I was feeling slightly worried that I would see them eating their burgers, nuggets and fries and it would make me sad. I ordered an unsweetened tea and a fruit and yogurt parfait. I didn't eat the blueberries and mushed the heck out of the strawberries. I know that the yogurt isn't fat free or anything but I felt so proud if myself that I was completely ok with what I was eating and did not even contemplate trying to mush up a French fry in my mouth to eat one. I took my time and finished my yogurt at the same time as everyone else was finishing their food. I left with my unsweetened tea in my hand and felt so proud of myself. I am only 11days out but to me that was a big accomplishment. One thing I was afraid of is going out to eat and not being able to eat what the rest of my family was eating and feeling left out. I'm so happy I didn't feel this way even with my husband sitting right in front of me eating a double quarter pounder and fries lol. It's the small things like this that will keep me happy and motivated to reach my goal....I am so happy I found this place to share these things with with people who understand these small things. You guys rock!!!!

Great choice-making -- you are going to do beautifully and reach your goal. Congratulations!

Great job!

That is a great NSV (non scale victory), congratulations!

Yeyyyyy!! CONGRATZ!

The first few weeks post op hubby didn't want me going with them to the pizzeria.... I was like: "I'm good, lets go"

We went and I had NO desire to eat what THEY were having.... And I was actually hungry while they ate. They finished, we went home and I made egg drop Soup
