Hi December surgerites!

How are we doing?   How are we handling the looming  Passover/easter holiday preparations.  How are we dealing with the aisles and aisles of chocolate bunnies, candy and peeps.

I am doing ok.  Still struggling with the hunger issue but I am thinking that some of it is head hunger when I am stressed so I am trying to watch out for that.  Personally I have stayed away from the candy aisles as much as possible.  For me, Easter is tougher than Christmas because it is more of an eating holiday.  At Christmas it is spread out over a long period of time, but now...WHAM  one day and you have the potential to eat for hours on end!!!  Peeps were my passion, now I only stay with the broiled, grilled and baked kind!   Don't trust myself to the sugar free kind either. Maybe next year.

Hang in there everyone...  I wish you all a wonderful Passover/Easter.  Be tough!

Thanks for the post! So far, I am handling Easter preparations well. We have a large candy display right as we enter the employee side at work that looks pretty, but is easy to resist. What was very tough was at church this Palm Sunday they gave every member a box of Peeps! I just walked right past them handing them out and headed out the door... no thanks! You're right, this is an eating holiday, and the temptations are out there...

Happy Easter!

I am doing well! Thanks for checking. You seem to be doing great on your weight loss. Congrats!!

As far as Easter candy....UGH! I miss my Peeps! LOL  I can do this!!

What is it about those blasted peeps!!!!!  On the gastric bypass forum they talk about hot chocolate with a sugar free peep in it.  Yikes.  I can't stand it!  But it is almost over!

Hang in there everybody. 

I have it a little easier.  I HATE PEEPS and I am not a candy lover.  I do however love a good easter ham dinner. 

We will survive.  

Remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels !!!!!

I'm not much of a Peeps fan, but those flippin Reeses Eggs and the hershey EGGS candy with that outter M&M like shell.  Ugh!  I've passed them up every time, but boy do they tempt.

Happy Easter!

Good for you passing them up! They are all over my workplace too, and the best way I can resist them is when someone squeals about how good I look or compliments me on my tremendous loss! Funny how that works but I love it!

Peanut butter eggs was the only thing that I craved...and still do! I haven't had anything sweet since two days before surgery, it really doesn't tempt me except for the eggs!

I think this Easter I literally cried a hundred times.  Cried because I wanted something so badly and cried because I ate something bad and felt so sick.  I am so hard on myself because I feel like I am just failing moment by moment more and more everyday.  I've been stalled for at least 3 weeks.  Clothes are not changing anymore and weight isn't coming off right now.  I am constantly hungry BUT its mostly in my head.  I am trying to figure out when I actually really am hungry as opposed to it just my brain being bored.  I wish we all could just walk into this and BAM the cravings are not there and things are perfect.  Why not?  Thats what people think happens anyways.  We took the easy way out remember...(secretly wants the people that say that to be in our shoes for a month)

 

Have a great night everyone.  I think I just needed to vent a tad!
