My Big Fat Greek Birthday Party



Recommended Posts

Well next Thursday, will be my birthday. So, my husband wanted to plan and give me a big party. I had asked that he not plan anything because I am only a month sleeved and still on purees until next week. But, he and some of his friends decided I needed a party and since I had been wanting hummus since I was on purees, he planned my whole birthday party around the theme "Hummus". haha

We had Greek marinaded chicken kabobs, falafel, hummus, cucumber sauce, pitas and baklava. YEP! It was my big fat Greek birthday party! Someone also brought a big beautiful strawberry cheesecake from one of the best bakeries in town!!!! They even put FELIZ CUMPLEANOS candles on them and I blew them out.

But no matter what everyone else ate, no matter that I cooked most of it and blew out the candles on that tempting cheesecake.... I ate my hummus and was happy. Everything looked really good and was good from what everyone was saying but I am praying that as I continue on this journey that by next year, I wont have any BIG FAT anything!!!

My husband actually made some mini cheesecakes out of stevia and I had a 2 tiny bites of one. It was really a sweet and special thing for him to do for me.

Everyone at my party had known about my surgery and that also helped with accountability as well. I could have easily just taken a few bites here and there. So that is one good reason to share this news with those around you.

Anyway, although I was really dreading this party, I have a tool that helps me not overeat and my mind is finally catching up and I realize that I can enjoy a party without gorging myself. Happy Birthday to me!

Cinders, I have to tell you that my husband is definitely a keeper. We have been married almost 24 years and he has loved me unconditionally and has never ever made me feel inferior because of my weight. He is a good man and a great father!!!

And the poor guy planned my party etc while still in a leg cast and on crutches.

      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.
