Good Morning Matt and Menuers,
I am having a great day!!! Went to bariatric doc yesterday. He mentioned giving me Pheniramine last time if I was still struggling but found out insurance has changed, and they do not approve it till your BMI is 35 and over. He said get back to exercise since it looks like most of my food choice are spot on. Grr I want an easy way out like it used to be. Oh well I guess I need to suck it up and do it.
QOTD: I changed the green bean casserole to Arkansas green beans, but I think it has more calories due to the brown sugar. So, I try to control it with portions because I'll feel deprived it I do not.
Accountability: I had 4 mini candy bars and 2 caramel cups.

Have a great day my friends.

I hope there is not much turbulence. I was prepared for what happened and not surprised. I am just hoping to go with the flow. Not going to think much about it.
I prepare some things that I could eat on Thanksgiving. I make the green bean casserole and candied sweet potatoes with marshmallows for others. I will fix myself some fresh steamed green beans and a baked sweet potato.
My first Thanksgiving after surgery I remember counting out seven kennels of corn, one teaspoon of mashed potatoes, and a one inch cube of turkey. I was stuffed. People thought I was "showing off" but it was six weeks after surgery and I was not yet able to eat solid foods. A year later I was past that phase and could eat a normal plate of food.

I feel like the Democratic party supporters got played. I would have have loved to have seen Michelle Obama be nominated and chosen as the Democratic candidate instead of stringing Biden along and then throwing Harris in. I would have voted for her in a minute.

The Democrats (me being one) didn't even get to vote for a candidate. When he dropped out there should have been a special vote for Dems. But they just said here you go. How do you become a nominee without getting one vote?

Good Tuesday Everyone. Well, my husband and I were at the town hall at 6:02 this morning to vote. We were surprised at how many people were there waiting.
I've come to the conclusion over the last 6 months that no matter who gets in as President nothing is going to change for the better. Both sides have never truly said what they would do to change things while in office. They just bicker against each other say the same stupid **** over and over again. I'm tired of the commercials. I'm tired of the violence against people and properties because of who they chose to support. This election has been nothing but a dog and pony show. I still can't believe Trump and Harris were the best this country had to offer as candidates, at least there were other parties on the ballot to vote for. Yes, I don't like either one of them.
We went a few weeks ago bought a gun safe and $400 in ammo because it will be a cold day in hell if a Republican or Democrat tries to take my right away to defend myself and my property.
Any who I'm off my soapbox.
QOTD: I was either 14 or 15 and I would climb in the old apple tree behind the barn to get the apples near the top.
B: Mushroom tea
L: Turkey and cheese wrap
D: Chicken burger
I hope everyone has a safe day.

What really worked for me was allowing myself to have any food I want. I do follow the rules most of the time, but know that I can have something not really healthy if I want.

Good Morning Mary and Menuers,
Thank you for starting us out, Mary. I work the 9-5 too Amy so welcome to my world. It is the traffic that makes it not so fun. It's not bad coming into work but coming home always seems crazy to me. No need to vote today because I mailed mine back about 2 weeks ago. I just hope we know the outcome quickly. I am very impatient. Yesterday I did a Dexa scan and today I am meeting up with a bariatric team. I am so overwhelmed with the head hunger and hoping they have some kind of cure. I am tired of watching the scale go up and up. If I did not come here, I do not know where it would be.
QOTD: Never.
Accountability: I had 3 of the new toasted peanut M&M's.
