My question for you today is this.

When you're stuck without healthy choices, what do you choose? 

DH and I were stuck at the Oklahoma City Airport this weekend, waiting to fly out thanks to Ike.  All they had were fast food places.  I ended up getting a grilled chicken sandwich and just ate the chicken.  I guess it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't enjoyable either LOL. 

First, can I just say that today is my 1 year surgiversary?  I'm so grateful to be in this place!

Anyway, to answer the question, I guess I just try to make the healthiest choice I can given the menu.  I also record what I ate so that those calories don't get "forgotten."

Congratulations!!!  Are you at a place in your life that you are happy with?  Was the surgery all you hoped it would be?   Jules

I am so incredibly happy these days.  The surgery was more than I had hoped.  Check out my blog entry on my profile.  I posted my thoughts on the last year there yesterday. 

I was at a support group meeting last night and met someone who is several years out.  Actually, there were 3 people out of the 9 there who developed really bad cases of hypoglycemia.  They developed these problems after being out a couple of years, so that's a little scary to me, but as we all agreed last night, we made a deal with the devil when we decided to have this surgery.  We knew (or should have known) the risks and made the decision that the benefits of the surgery outweighed them.

Like you if its fast food I will have grilled chicken throw out the bread and use mustard to help moisten it if its dry. In airports I have found FF yogurt before. I always carry the south beach die****er mixes in my purse and add it to water if the choices just are not there!

I might choose a meat sandwich of some kind minus the bread.

I usually choose grilled chicken without the bread or a grilled chicken salad.  Last week, I got a small chili from Wendy's.  I hadn't had one of those in a while.  It was good, but then I like chili.     Jules

I just do the best I can with what's available.  I try to be as good as I can be.

I usually have a packet of peanuts in my tote bag, so if it's really bad, I'll eat those...   otherwise, like everyone else, I make do with what's available. 

I try to do chicken and cottage cheese.  IF there is nothing, then I cheat or go hungry.
