I, SnT, am also an ice cream addict. Bruster's birthday cake in a cone - OMG. Wonder how I gained weight b/w the last surgeon appointment and today. Hmm.....

It's a mystery SnT. Icecream was totally innocent, I swear.

Don't listen to me at all.

Hahahaha! Uh huh! Ice cream should be outlawed!

OK once-a-week club members, I made it through last night without nuts...and without going nuts!:P I contemplated Peanut Butter straight from the spoon, but figured you call me on that (the form of the nut is irrelevant, right?) so I had a sf popsicle...not the same thing at all!

But I did it. My resolve was weak (almost gone), but I did it. How many Saturday nights until Hallowe'en??????:lovechoc::biggrin:

HAHAHAHA!! I'd even keep the funky eyewear - save on makeup in the morning; one cybernetic implant and you're good to go!

Last night was a rough one for me too but I made it. Hubby talked me into doing a Protein shake instead. I told him that it could be my one night of the week and he laughed and said I'd already had it more than once this week. All is good though, I'm 3 days free of ice cream and I got a Protein boost that I needed.

SnT, Ready, Glou, how are you guys doing? Did you make it though the rough Friday?

Okay, after 3 days without, I broke down tonight and had my weekly ice cream. Figured it was a good day since I was low on calories and had had several low days and needed to kick it up for a day. Hope you guys hang in there longer than me, though I, of course, feel justified in eating it. LOL

Is 'It's Saturday night' sufficient justification? I had my serving (1/3 cup) of almonds, and then put the nuts away. Difficult to do, but I did it.

OK - it's Sunday morning - time to start in on today's activities.

I know I'm not the best person to answer that as clearly I thought it was. Don't think it really matters when we burn through our portion as long as we keep it down to once a week.

Okay, I've been demoted. Tapshoes is now chair. I had ice cream again today. I'm going to have to keep my Breyers Mint chocolate Chip completely out of the house and possibly give up ice cream completely if I don't get it under control. :)

So ticked and frustrated with myself. But it's done now, I'll just have to do better.

Oh NO!!!!! I didn't even have the strength to think about giving up my vice...how can I be Chair??? Oh well, I shall pick up the gavel...and probably bonk myself on the head!

We shall overcome these food addictions, we shall, we shall! Step away from the spoon, Ezma, step away from the freezer. And start again.

WHEW!! I made it through Sunday night without nuts...although I was a tad cranky aobut it!! I did however manage to stitch one XMas card though; so I suppose I am better for it...little consolation when what I really want is to eat some whole dry roasted lightly spiced almonds..... ACK!!!

Okay, okay. Confessions here. I did not do so well this weekend. I had ice cream, and then last night I had sherbet.

It's just sooo good. :thumbup: Bad, Gloucester!

I did exercise though...it was a beautiful weekend here in Houston.

      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!!
