I'm so proud of myself y'all! Yesterday we were passing by a Tommy's after spending the afternoon at the beach and my son and rest of the family really wanted to stop to eat. I knew I couldn't order anything from the menu, but I didn't want to stop my family from eating there. I still need to lose a few pounds before my upcoming pre-op, so I literally sat with everyone and watched as they ate (with the exception of 2 french fries and a few sips of my hubby's diet coke)! I don't think I've ever done that before. Afterwards I got something else to eat and I was happy! Happy that my family was happy and happy that I didn't go off!!! YAY FOR ME:thumbup:!!!

Congrats on a job well done!:thumbup: Keep up that great work!

congrats!!! it's not easy, but it will so totally be worth it!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Sounds like you are well on your way to being a success at this. Congrats!

Thanks mini-me :-)

Well done.... its good practice for your pre op diet if you have one.... and does make you feel really virtuous afterwards too.

Thanks Sparkle:biggrin0:

Way to go!!! I am very impressed with you losing so much weight already!! Im trying to quit old habits and Im doing it one step on a time, such as coffee, pop, carbs, Im hoping soon I will start eating smaller portions... are you on any specific plan right now? Atkins? smaller portions?

We're just weeks apart in our surgeries, looking forward to being on the loser board with you!!

Thank you :laugh0:...I am using the weight watcher point system, and journaling everything (that's the key). I am also making sure to drink a protein shake for breakfast (30 grams of protein).

With that kind os attuide you'll definitely rock your sleeve. Way to go!!

Gratz, you have already won the battle by proving to yourself that you DO have control. You have set yourself up for success. Well done!

Thanks sleeve sisters :-)
