We are just haveing a regualr dinner and pumpkin pie with splenda. I am making my signature mac and cheese only this year i am slipping whole wheat pasta in it so i can at least have a bite. I plans to have a small bite of sweet potatoes, a bite of mac n cheese and bite of green beans and of course turkey. Probably no roll for me this year lol. Not sure about dressing either. I think you can still have it just in moderation and only till your full not like last year where i ate and ate and ate till i was so full i felt YUCKY!

My sister is having us over for Thanksgiving this year. My goal is not not overeat. Period. I'm not going to deny myself anything. I just want to taste everything before my pouch tells me I'm full!
Topic: RE: Sorry been gone for awhile....
Great to see you IRAY. I, too , have an event in a couple of months and it is killing me that I can't shop for it yet. I just keep telling myself that the perfect oufit will be there when I need it.
I just can't get over how much better I feel about myself and my body these days. I want to seize this second chance and never want to go back to that obese woman who was miserable all the time.
Isn't it fun?!?

Well I've been absent for a couple of weeks because my internet has been down! I've had an interesting couple of weeks....I've had slow weightloss during this time and it finally started to pick up yesterday. I am officially "overweight" and no longer obese.....yay!!!! I wieghed in today at 183 and feel fantastic!
I've been asked to be a personal assistant for a friends wedding in May and am pretty excited to have such a big event almost 1 year out from surgery! I'm a little distressed about buying a dress since I'm going to have to wait until right before the wedding since I don't intend on being 180 lbs in May....LOL I have been looking and found some cute ones I really like but can't buy cuz I have no idea what size I'll need! I've been wearing size 14 jeans and think it's time to move into 12's!! I'll wait until I'm into a size 10 before I buy another pair though!
I saw a coworker I've always had a crush on the other day.....The first time I saw this man I literally had drool running down my face because he is sooooo HOT! He informed me he was now divorced and we have plans to get together and catch up! He hadn't seen me since before my surgery! He is a great guy and always has been a great friend! I'd love to date him and hope we can find the time to spend together soon! We are both single parents and work A LOT!
I had my 3 month follow up and was told I was doing great. I need to watch my snacking at work. My nurse told me she thought I had a great attitude about how real life is! She said I will have great success if I can keep the attitude I have towards food! I was very honest with her about my diet and told her I will continue to "enjoy" all the foods I have in the past only I won't over do it like I used to!
I hope this finds everyone in good health and spirits!

UUMMM???..
We are suppose to go water rafting.. and hiking in Arizona... but we are staying at the extended stay hotel with kitchen and all utensils like home.. so I guess I have no excuse.. of course my family only has 3 people so I was going to do a small roasted duck, or small 6 to 7lb turkey or other turkey parts roasted in garlic& herb rub with diced collards green, a revision dish of sweet potato casserole( NO marsh mellows), and of course my NEW RECIPE for cornbread dressing ( low carb version use Marie Calenders corn bread mix) with celery, minced garlic, onions, bell peppers, low calorie mushroom soup, with homemade chicken broth, and I make my own cranberry sauce, with sugar free cranberry gelatin, (with fresh cranberries, ginger, black berries,). If I'm not too tired by then some (SPLENDA version cheese cake pie with fresh cranberries)... BUT NOTE :ONLY IF THE HUBBY REFUSES TO TAKE ME OUT TO EAT INSTEAD
OF COOKING!! I WILL THEN THROW A FIT TO GET MY WAY!!
LOL!!
PLUS I CAN ONLY EAT no MORE THAN 2 Oz's of each PERIOD GOD HELP ME!! LOL
I hope you have a BLESS THANKS GIVING!!

Topic: Thanksgiving Dinner?
What is your Turkey Day meal gonna look like? I've been thinking about this quite a bit because Thanksgiving is gonna be at my house this year. And what I've come up with is that the food probably isn't going to be very different. I will have to watch my portions and stay clear of the sweets. But I will still have turkey. We'll have to see how a little bit of dressing goes with the pouch. I tried corn yesterday, just a bite. I didn't like how it felt.
What are your plans?
