With all this Covid19 going on is anyone else find they are having to fight off the temptation to want to eat more? I am doing my best to fight it and continue on my journey of loss but it sure calls my name. LOL! Hope you all are doing well?

Wishing everyone a safe and sound passage through these perilous times. We are on lock down here trying to do our small part to lessen the impact probably coming to south Florida next. This is my 10th day homebound - but feeling confident food will not become my comforter as in the past. New habits and strategies are in place after 15+ months. I am at goal, now on maintenance and enjoying a new wardrobe. Back to wearing belts again. Yay! Literally, all dressed up and no place to go though. Oh well. To all our December 2018 sleever's - maintaining our good nutrition, limiting news reports and daily exercise will really help us fight cravings, emotional eating and the need for unhealthy comfort foods. We use to love homemade, creamy rich chocolate pudding with whole milk - Here's our new go to option AND good for you, too!

Oh yes! I noticed that weekends were tough but now that I'm home all the time....good thing I choose healthy foods for my kitchen. I did notice that being busy really helps. I've been working from home this week...last week, I still went to the office partly because I was afraid of the refrigerator...that was fine because no public contact...but still seems better to be home. Since work meant I was on the phone or video conferencing...that seemed to keep me out of trouble. My plan today is yard work since it's sunny. Tomorrow is supposed to be wet, so chores around the house. I really miss the gym! I was going every day and my yoga classes. I liked the structure of having somewhere to go for a specific thing. I'm trying not to fall into the "I'll do it later" trap and keep up the movement.

And, there's the self-talk. Just because I'm bored or sitting still doesn't mean I'm hungry. Remembering to listen to one's stomach is the biggest challenge.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
