Small victories

[Averiex 26]

So I can be very -ahem- impulsive emotionally. I am in my 4th week post-op and although there are ups and downs I am finally on board to being serious. I had a serious talk with my mom about failing. She said I will either succeed or I will fail and learn from my mistakes, however what a shame to go through a painful surgery just to give up.

She is right!

I am on track, and even though I am not allowed these items at this time anyway, yesterday I passed on cake (omg love) and tonight before a work meeting I ate some fish and passed on the pizza everyone else was eating. Four boxes! For me, these are both huge trigger foods for me. They are comfort foods! I was satisfied with watching everyone else eat without a second thought!

Hope everyone else had some nice victories today, no matter how small!

My new comfort items are becoming roasted low carb veggies! Believe it or not, to get in more nutrients even the pureed baby food tastes good. Broccoli and carrots? Who knew!
