Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday, November 13, 2017

I grew up in SoCal and now live in Phoenix. When I ask people to get their cold weather gear, they put on shoes and longer shorts...

QOTD: I would be happy to have the house that you've described. Sounds perfect.

Congrats on the retirement. That sounds perfect too!

B: coffee and yogurt

L: real good pizza

D: turkey tacos

S: hillshire farms plate - cheese and jerky

I had a trip for another funeral last week. Food out the window, the regular family food pushers. Going home to family always means biscuits and gravy, ham, pork roast, sweet baked beans, cherry cheese cake, brownies, cookies... All home made and deadly. Today its back to tracking and protein pushing until I can get past the carb cravings.

QOTD: Love my house. I would add a half bath off the laundry room (two are opposite end from living/kitchen), and add a two and a half car garage in my giant back yard with a lift, and finish the yard. I'd love to have a small two bedroom in Pismo Beach or Morrow Bay near the water. Dream house would be a flat in Northern Italy.

AM: SF white mocha with PP&Fairlife

B: hardboiled egg, avacado, tuna

L: Chicken Breast, cottage cheese & hummus

S: Strawberries and Cream PP

D: Chicken Breast, cottage cheese, hummus

water & vites

Have you tried working with a therapist to figure out how to say no to the food pushers?

I only deal with them once or twice a year, if that. My therapist and I are working on trauma specifbally now which led to, and fed, my eating disorder.

I love Pismo Beach and Morrow Bay, I think Pismo is my favorite. I lived in Lompoc for a year and it was so close I drove there weekly.

Pismo would be my top choice too. But it?s not as ?small? as it was 30 years ago.

I bet it's not, the last time I was there was 1996!

I had a very rough weekend. I wrote about a lot of it here -- http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/6027973/Day -6-Leg-Lift-LBL-incision-revision/#50349967 -- then, in addition, I woke up in the middle of the night last night and needed to use the bathroom but ended up just crying when I got back to my chair since I couldn't get my knee pillows sorted out without help, or the pillow for my ankles without help, and I just felt totally pathetic and useless. So I cried. That sucked a lot.

QOTD: My ultimate dream home would be a duplex with the middle wall knocked out. Huge kitchen with open floor plan living/dining rooms in the middle. Two master suites. Each duplex would have a master bedroom and three other bedrooms so that we could each have an office and then an exercise room, a library, and a guest room. This is definitely my dream.

1: protein shake
2: pumpkin seeds
3: deli chicken meat
4: protein shake
5: no idea if I'll have "real food" depends on what the guys do

liquids on track, vites not yet.
exercise: nope

I'm sorry you had a rough weekend Gwen, I hope this week is better for you...hang in there!
