Jill working on a thin girl's head!!

I went out for my symbolic "last supper" tonight with my best friend. My liquid diet starts Sunday and so we went out for the big pig out. I ate my fill but the surprising part is I had no desire to eat to the degree that I always have. My body warned me earlier than usual that I was getting full and so I stopped with half of my meal left on my plate!! I wanted to enjoy but not destroy my progress or my motivation. I have lost 10 pounds in the last week or so and I had no desire to screw up my momentum for a temporary pig out that would leave me feeling sick and guilty. Imagine the concept of enjoying your food AND not eating yourself sick!! Do you suppose this is how the thin folks do it? LOL!!! They're gonna work on my belly and  I am going to work on my head..

Hey Jill!  Good for you!  I've been noticing the same thing for me, even though my surgery's not scheduled until December.  Even my body seems to be getting in line - I ate a bunch of M&Ms yesterday afternoon (college football stress - my Sooners lost again ), and ended up in the bathroom half the night (sorry if TMI)!  I've been focusing on a low carb, and especially low simple-carb, diet in preparation for the DS, and I think my body freaked out when I gave it some pure sugar!!! 

Best of luck on your surgery! 

Thanks Laura. I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. Can you say COTTAGE CHEESE!! Thanks for the good wishes. All the best to you as you head toward your own surgery. 

Jill, that's just fantastic... Good for you!

good for you, jill!  I totally had the same experience in my "last meal."  be very proud of urself.  this journey is a long one... the mind takes longer than the body does in the journey to get being healthy.  i'm about 1/3 of the way there in my journey (physically) yet I'm just really starting to carve through the emotions surrounding it.  I was in the gym yesterday w/my trainer and i was crying because i felt like i was the beached whale lying on the floor doing lower back stretches.  My mind sometimes thinks i'm still that fat chick i have been for 31 years.

keep working on it, girl!  you're doing great.
