What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

Good morning,

im on vacation, good bands last night. Looking forward to tonight, the headliner is Mercy Me.

Qotd I love myself more now and don't try to be hard on myself when I screw up. Really don't do anything to pamper myself. Just trying to live a healthy lifestyle.

B scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese, string cheese, pork and beans and English muffin

L not sure what my brother is making

D either hamburger or chicken sandwich at the concert.

Have a good day

Good morning~ Ahhh, YAY for Thursday, which my Friday this week. I have my PS consult tomorrow and I AM SO EXCITED! Rob is coming with me. While he is supportive, he is not too keen on the idea because he doesn't think it's worth all the suffering and pain. What he doesn't understand is that I am seriously struggling with body image and him loving just as I am (which is AWESOME) doesn't change that.

QOTD - I've always been big on self care in general but the weight loss has made it easier to take better care of myself physically and it's way more fun to shop! The biggest thing about WLS is that I am simply more comfortable being me.

Accountability - great 157.3

b- coffee x 3, yogurt

l-turkey and pepperjack

d-pork loin chop w/SF BBQ sauce

es - yogurt or Popsicles depending on protein #'s for the day

v/l - on track

e-walk

Have an awesome day!

It's nice that he's coming along and being supportive even though he doesn't fully get it!

He's a keeper for sure!!

So excited about your PS consult!

Thanks, Janet!!

Amy, I'm so thrilled for you! I'll be thinking of you, and look forward to hearing all about your consult!

Thanks, Cara!!

Omgggg I can finally post using real food, this is wonderful.

b: Premier Protein with iced coffee

L: 1/3 cup of my favorite shrimp salad, from Union Market here in DC... exciting day to get to eat this again!

s: cheddar & gryere mix from Trader Joe's, 1.5 oz

d: going to Uncle Julio's, so I guess I'll try a spinach quesadilla or something similar?

QOTD: I turned a corner this week, at just over one month out. Energy returned, I feel GREAT and so happy I was brave enough to get this surgery. I'm proud of myself! I got a super cute short haircut since my double chin is starting to recede (and I adore having short hair anyway). Food is agreeing with me... and most importantly, I'm no longer grieving food. The head hunger monster seems to be dormant for now. I know he'll come back at times but I love the feeling of not being obsessed with food and thinking about it 24/7! It's so liberating!!

So I have shown myself some love with purchases this week: new running shoes, haircut, and Lasik tomorrow. On Monday I'll be cleared to show myself love by starting a running routine- I'm very excited. I used to love running but my feet and back hurt a lot when I was at my highest weight.

Hope you all have a good day. Almost Friday!

Oh and a quick NSV: My very judgemental cousin found out about my surgery and made some passive aggressive comments when we got together Sunday. After one particularly ridiculous remark about being "concerned for me", I turned to him and said, "I was fabulous before and I'll always be fabulous, so don't you worry one bit about me!" with a huge smile. He shut up for the rest of the day!!
