CARB FREE WEEK!!!

Rita - there are filet o fish not plenty of fish!

Carbs are evil, evil, evil!  The more you eat, the more you want.  Legal crack!  Step away from the carbs!  I will not do carbs this week either although I have to say that I haven't really done carbs since I'm on the pre-op diet. We will take control over the carbs!  We are women!  Hear us roar!  (Men - if you are John or Dan!) Have a great week! Kim

I did really good in Dallas this weekend in re-guards  to carbs.  I had a breakfast burrito at Whataburger and that was the only carbs I ate.  We went to a pizza place for lunch Saturday and I just got a large slice of meat trio and scraped all the meat off the pizza and gave the crust to my buddy.  Then I had black pepper chicken at a Chinese place for dinner and picked around the celery and cabbage.  It was really good.  The only thing I didnt do well was drink enough water during the card tournament I went to.  The ONLY pop machine in the entire building was out of water (they even had two buttons for water).  Fortunately the gal who was running the event knew I had the surgery so at lunch she went to a store and brought back a big 5 gallon TANK of Osarka water so I was able to get some water in later in the day, hehe.

Ruth - I am really glad things went well on Saturday - YEAH!!!  And on the carbs, you know they are hard to give up, I used to live on carbs!! I have been pretty good about them, but, this week-end I sneaked a few in there and yes, the more you eat them the more want them....so yes, they are EVIL. No more for me either, for me they are not really satisfying either.....(thus wanting more and more -)

I'm in!  I have noticed myself slipping up on the carb thing lately too so this will be a great week to get it back under control!  Thanks Ruth!

Ruth I kinda feel like an outsider sense most of the board now is WWers....make us OWLOS feel left out..LOL  I am with ya on the carbs! they are so friggin evil..just like the commerical for lays nobody can eat just one.  I have to become more accountable also I have been slipping big time on my program and since I am six months post op I need to get focused again. I got a good chewing out yesterday for not journaling and being accountable so if anyone wants to kick my tail  for nt geting my protein in I here with my head hung low and ready for the kick...Pattye

Pattye - NEVER feel like an outsider with this group!!  They are ALL just WLS patients just like you and me!  Besides, you are ALWAYS welcome to anything we do around these parts!!!  Just another sista for the group!!! I decided to be more accountable I have to post it publicly and take the beating from the sista's!!  It SHOULD keep me more honest, but... I am a hard nut to crack!!  I HATE journaling and refuse to do it!!!  Drives my nut insane!! No physical abuse going on here, just verbal and mental!! LMAO!!!  Hang in there!!  You are among friends!!!

Thank you very MUCH! I posted on rny board yesterday and I made myself become accountable and then my sis in Vegas kicked my tush into high gear so I have to be more accountable! I have not set a weigh loss mini goal before and I did last night. Which is I plan on losing 60 pounds by July 4th I know if I stick to the program that I will acheive that goal. It would be fantastic to go to the beach on the fourth and weigh what I did when I was a teenager...only difference is my boobs will be sagging like granny grunts and my chicken wings might knock someone out...

There are no outsiders here!  We are all "enjoying" the same struggle.  I say, the more the merrier on OH.  We are all one big WLS family! Kim PS  A family who will kick your tail if you don't shape up!! 

Patty I damn near sit my Cyrstal light drink out when I read your post.  I have only lost about 50 pounds and it sounds like we are having the same problem.  The chest is gone and the arms, they are a flappin'.  Thanks for the laugh
