Its FRIDAY....Roll Call

Finally this day has gotten here! YEAH! I can't wait to get out of the holiday season....Being 18 months out is the pits! There are food monsters everywhere and dealing with them is a bit much for me. I feel overwhelmed and consumed with thoughts of food alot and perhaps its just the stress of the holidays coupled with everyone need to feed everyone. Its driving me nuts! I know it will pass so I am ranting and raving here to hopefully keep my mouth away from the undesirable stuff...like too much of anything. Okay its time to get back to the diary! I think I will start it today. Perhaps that can be my mechanism of control over the food monster. Glad I wrote about this today! I hope all of you are going to have a fine Friday and your shopping done soon. I hate to say this but we are down to one more week...And I wonder why the thoughts of food dance in my head?

Debbie, The christmas cookie monster is after me so I know just what you are talking about. Everyday I think I am going to make it through the day without eatting any...BUT, I let you know when that day comes. Everyday is a struggle, but we have come so far I know we can do it. Keep the faith and have a dry and warm day. Ellen

Hi Deb, I just read your post and responded to Elissa's. So please know that I can relate. Since we have the same surgery date I guess we're at about the same speed in this WLS journey. Thanks for being honest and know that we have all come so far and it is too far to ever go back. Get the journal out, keep the old photo in front of you and look at the success that you have done. You have come SO far, too far to quit now. YOU can do it and everyone is so proud of you. God bless, Mama

Debbie, Beleive me we all know how you feel and deal with it everyday. I have discovered cookies are my weakness now. I can not just eat one so I have to decide weather I am going to take that first bite. Before surgery my weakness was ice cream . I could care less about it now but please do not temp me with a cookie. This time of year they are everywhere calling my name. I will be so glad to see January and Christmas behind us all with the temptations gone for another year. See you lighter. Joanne
