Chocolate for dinner? Yep.

Oh, boy, am I going to regret this. Blech.

I've been nibbling all day, and haven't been drinking at all. Bad, and bad. Then on my way home from work I gave in to a craving for a frozen-yogurt mix-in with Peanut Butter cups. Then I get home and proceed to eat 10 miniature peanut-butter cups left over from Easter. YUM. and YUCK!

That's it for me. I'm done for the day. (Is there any Protein in peanut butter cups?) Part of me hopes I've made myself sick. Pooh.

Yes Alex there is some Protein in the Peanut Butter if that makes you feel better :)

Not much but some, hey every little bit counts right?

Good attitude you have though. It's not like that little chocolate feat will put back all you weight you have lost. Don't sweat the small stuff! We all have days like this :D

chocolate is my biggest weakness

You bet there's Protein in Peanut Butter cups. And in the yogurt too! Your treats don't sound exactly extreme, and I'm getting a whiff of diet mind wafting from the East Coast... When you pick up two dozen at the Dunkin Donuts drive-through and devour them in one sitting, then we'll start to worry.

Thanks, ladies! You know, I have treats often, so it's not that I went there at all that bugged me. But I was out of control and probably would have continued if I didn't come here and spill the Beans. I feel better now.

What would I do without LBT?? :)

It's donut day here. Yep, the first Friday of every month.

I love donuts. I NEVER buy them - hate paying money for stuff that I really don't want to be eating anyway. But... when they're free... :)

1 filled donut

1 poppyseed muffin

1 cinnamon roll

1 cherry danish

1 cheese danish

It's been a very stressful week. My boss was laid off on Tuesday. His boss was laid off on Monday. My Mom was laid off on Wednesday.

I think I'm doing just a bit of emotional eating. BUT - on top that - there were FREE DONUTS at work today... :straight

Feel better, Alex?!?! lol

I did not have a good day today either. I stopped on the way home from work at Jack-in-the-box and had a large, YES A LARGE, oreo cookie shake. I didn't eat it all but that was because I droped it off of my walker when I got home. But I did save over half of it and it was sooooooooooooooooooo good!! It splashed all over my dinning room. so the clean up was like exercise Right? Oh Alex, tomorrow is going to be a better day for us both. :)

I think chocolate should be a daily requirement!!! :)

Alex, if you think this was a bad day - you need to hang around me for a day or two! I think you did pretty good!

Ive convincd myself that peanut m&m's and Peanut Butter chocolates are a better choice of junk food then just the regular junk! :dead

Paula, I thought that chocolate was a daily requirement! All those wonderful anti-oxidants! What? What? Do you mean that Peanut Butter M&Ms aren't better??? surely you jest!

My choclate bar is calling my name again. So I'll take it out of the fridge, look at it, admire the wrapping and put it back in the fridge.... (yes, this is the same chocolate bar that's been calling my name since Sept.) Good think it isn't made of ice cream! Resistance is futile! All my base belong to ice cream...

The other day some one brought iin 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and some young thin girl made homemade cherry cheese coffee rolls with creme cheese frosting yum... yuck ..Of course I had to have some as not to be rude to these people. Then came home and felt guilty so I had about 40 oz of Water for dinner. Sounds like a balanced diet huh. We all take that wrong turn at the fork but eventually the road straightens out and we adjust . that life ,right ?????

I was miffed because my DH wouldn't go with me to the local Mexican restaurant so on my way home, in the wind driven rain, I stopped at Sonic and ordered a banana shake. OMG, it was so thick and sinfully delicious. I didn't drink it all, I think there may have been two tsp left in the bottom, the darn banana kept getting stuck in the straw.

      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!!
