What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?
AV, stay strong! Go for a walk, fold laundry, take a bath and tell your husband to SHUT UP!! Unfortunately I get that all thime from people at work. Many have no idea how I looked a year ago and do not understand how I never finish a meal. Seriously? Portion sizes are out of control and you are worried about me?? Anyway, I digress, you are doing awesome! Keep up the good work and continue to fight the good fight. WLS is not a sprint, rather it is an ultra-marathon for the rest of our lives.

Only 25 days until my Ironman 70.3 in Augusta GA! I'm beginning to FREAK!!
"WLS is not a sprint, rather it is an ultra-marathon for the rest of our lives. "
I am printing that out and putting it on my computer at work... words to live by!
I know your encouragement was directed to AV, but I am going to take some, too.
Happy 14th month surgiversary!

Well, being just over a month out, I don't exactly have the best of tips. In fact, yesterday, was a win/lose situation. I had a bit of a setback but managed not to binge. It was a pretty bad day, and coupled with my raging hormones (which is new to me), I ordered in All The Food. Looking at it (I'm talking milkshake, devil's food cake, hot wings, and tomato soup), I knew I shouldn't do it.
Instead, I ate most of the (small) tomato soup, which is what I would normally have at a meal, had a sip of the milkshake, a bite of the cake, and then tossed the rest. (Waste of money, but better in the garbage than in my body.)
Oddly enough, I felt a sense of strength and power in doing that. With hope, I can transfer that feeling of strength and power to NOT ordering in the food LOL.
Good news is I stayed within my calorie content for the day, surprisingly enough, though I did miss out on the protein!

Thank you, karenp8! 
I've heard of putting unappetizing items on top of the food to render it inedible. *nods* I'm glad that time seems to helping- I'm looking forward to the hard choices getting easier!
