Testin my limits!
For me, it was pretzels yesterday.
I got Rich to take the rest of the SF candy with him to work yesterday of course I grabbed a pack of mint patties from him when he stopped by my office to drop my vitamins off on his way to work.
I told him later in the day (before I ate a single pretzel) that I wanted him to take the rest of the big jug of them (bought for the super bowl party) to work. I was being pretty good and was having 2 probably twice a day at maximum. They aren't the big fat ones either. Anyway Rich said he would.
I, of course, get home before. I had my two pretzels with a piece of cheese. Then I grabbed a couple more. And a couple more. Then when Rich got home I asked him to get me a couple. Then when I went into the dining room I grabbed about 6. Then I think I may have grabbed two more. I have NO clue how many I ate together. Easily 12 if not more. I had probably 10 in a fairly short period close to my protein shake and I felt them in my belly like a rock. Too much. Luckily I didn't get sick but...
I'm sure I was eating them out of emotion. Got my surgery coming up on Friday. Not overly worried but surgery is still surgery. I'm battling some post-nasal drip (not a cold) and hopefully that won't keep me from surgery. Talked to my surgeon today about it. I said it's been going on over a week and isn't blossoming into anything. Think it is allergies. Sudafed helps. He gave me the okay. I just do not want to be sick. I want the surgery overwith. I won't risk my health and pnemonia though.
So, you weren't alone in your testing your limits. This is really the first thing I've done it so fully in the 9 months since surgery. I guess that is an accomplishment unto itself. Now if I could just save my next attempt for another 9 months...that would be great...
How was today for you, Aliya?
Today's been fine for me. Pretzels are gone. SF candy is gone. There are crackers and some tortilla chips but I could care less.
