Just checcking in!
Hi Everyone,
Ro sent me an email two months ago about reactivating my status - I just now am opening my email for this site.
Things are going well for me. I am enjoying my job, and I have started singing with my husband's country/western band (I don't know if I had told ya'll or not) on a weekly basis. I'm also a part of my church's praise/worship team. Last month we got to open for Cadman's Call and Bethany Dillon in front of 6000 people. What a rush! I was so excited, I just didn't have time to be nervous. I share this because I would have NEVER had the courage to do these things pre-WLS.
Days seem to fly by for me - I sometimes feel like I am just below the surface of a whirlpool as it spins out of my control. Used to, I would have freaked out and found a pound of oreos to sooth my nerves. I am trying to let things go and do what I can, knowing there will be a bunch of things I won't get to - and that it's OK. I am also trying to let others around me take the lead and follow-up on stuff. It's been rather liberating. I can't say I am completely over my need to be 'on top' of everything; but it's better.
With the holidays rolling in, I am trying to avoid the emotional quicksand that sucks me into a horrible funk. It would be nice if I could have an adult holiday and not regress this year.
Here's hoping you all have a wonderful holiday season - free of sugar/carb guilt and full of wonderful food-free memories!!
Much Love,
Kerdeeya

My plan for the holidays and surviving the carbs is to do very limited baking. Going to make 2 gingerbread houses (one will go to DD's house) and only ONE batch of splenda gingerbread cookies for consumption. Our tradition is that the gingerbread house doesn't get touched till Christmas day then the kids have at it. So we get the nice smell and prettiness of it and it isn't a temptation. With the splenda cookies to look forward to then I won't want any of the house myself either. We do a little cookie exchange at work and I will do one kind of cookie for that but then the cookies I come home with will get eaten up promptly by my boys so I'm not worried about that.
Other than that...no baking! Melissa is going to help me stay strong and not even make a batch of her protein fudge. Even though it is a good, healthy recipe it IS extra calories and the protein grams could just as easily be made up for in a chicken breast or something not sweet.
We can do this!
