Oh you missed the opportunity to have cookies and steak, then some ice cream with donuts with sprinkles, a box of oreos, a small donair and a large all meat pizza with triple cheese with crushed doritos and fried mars bars on top... you don't really want me to go on do you? LOL keep the faith girl! Cookies are satan's work! Regards, Ian
Yep, we are all human! I didn't eat them, but my brain was angry at me for leaving them. My "tool" was happy with me!

We had a cake from Costco on Wednesday this week for someone`s 50th birthday. Then someone dumped individually wrapped chocolates near the printer.
The good news is that I looked at it and didn`t eat either of them.
Then today at lunch at a local restaurant, the lunch specials come with a chocolate mousse cake. The other 4 people at the table ate theirs. I was full from lunch so I didn`t feel bad. They tried to tell me it wasn`t good. I remember what that cake tasted like from BEFORE surgery!! LOL
Good for both of us for staying strong Kelly.

Our office did a Summerlicious lunch last week. I was super stoked that one of the "dessert" choices was a cheese plate!. I had soup, a few bites of my main course (pork chops, sweet potato mash and asparagus....which I planned from the start on saving for the next day's lunch) and ate the cheese plate. yum!

I was just discussing this with my therapist today. I called it an itch that I feel I need to scratch when the food starts calling. We are working on reframing the "devil" on my shoulder to try understand what it is trying to tell me...what it is trying to give me...so that I can go looking for it somewhere else...she suggested it wasn't deliberately trying to harm me (so I can stop fighting it) instead I should try listening to the underlying message...not sure if this makes any sense to others reeading this but it felt so good to suddenly feel that this wasn't a fight against the devil (myself) but rather a time to try listen to what the voice is really trying to say. Wish me luck listening!
