The day after Halloween...and I feel like I have a hang over! It's very odd because I have not touched any candy, I did not drink any alcohol, but today I'm feeling like I was up all night drinking and partying.

Today I did allow myself one almond cookie, this lovely lady in our education department brought in from the bakery on her lunch hour. (I know everyone wants to beat her over the head!)

I have to tell you though I could only eat about 3/4 of it and the smell of the rest of them was actually making me feel sick. I had to move them all into the kitchen away from my desk. I'm the "festive" gal around these parts, so everyone brings things and brings them to me, because I am the self appointed party planner on top of my actual "work" title :)

I'm glad to see people bond together though, so I'm happy to be the office cheer leader, it makes for a nice mix of people working together and getting so much more done then working against each other. There is a method to my madness but don't let them know.

I can't wait to go home today and just get into my PJ's and crawl under my covers and turn on the idiot box as my Mother used to call it, and do NOTHING.

I took a couple of Advil and might need a couple more to get rid of this brewing migraine...been drinking lots of Water, and just trying not to get into full blown black out the world Migraine. I love how the band really helps us to avoid these testing times like Halloween. I LOVE the spirit of the holiday, and this year I really have no desire for candy or cake and if I want to have something I can and do and it's very small just a taste and I'm satisfied.

Maybe next year I'll have to have a real bitchin party so if I have to feel hung over it will be well worth it after a rocking party!!! At least my body could ache from dancing all night instead of just the miserable weather :)

Hope you all had a good one...I'm off to PJ land and beddybye. Have an awesome weekend all!!!

You always have something to say that makes me and everyone feel better. So don't think we mind your contributing to the thread. My halloween was not. Hubby and I left monday afternoon and spent two days in the smokies taking wonderful pix of the leaves chaging colors. We left early Thursday morning and drove home 12 hours got home about 830 p. Hubby did all the driving he was beat. I tried and succeeded on my band eating plan. I feel really good about that. Will be getting first fill...banded 8-23...in dec. Will be going to Hawaii for 2 weeks. Can't hardly wait.

Hope all are doing great.

This is not about exercise but accountability- went to Red Lobster for lunch - had a chicken Caesar salad (vinegrette dressing) no croutons & DID NOT have one of those amazing biscuits! So so hard! I didn't even eat half of the salad! I wanted one of those biscuits so bad but I didn't do it - I was proud of myself!!

I've had a lot going on too CG - my father-in-law is at John Hopkins with heart failure & multiple blood clots. My 15 year old daughter has a congenital heart problem & went to cardiologist on Friday and will most likely need open heart surgery soon (waiting for dr to call me) they are transferring her file to Miami Children's Hosp to see if and when she will have surgery. I'm so stressed too / I hope your father-in-law is better

and your work issues get straightened out!

If I hadn't had the band - the stress would have had me & I would have been eating all the time!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
