What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

NYDiva,

I don't know anyone who was not sympathetic. And I believe there is a good nugget of truth behind WLS being a trigger. I watched my sister transfer her addictions from food to alcohol post surgery and 6 years later died at 50. Coroner ruled her death as a by product of years of obesity followed by addiction.

I know this is a place of inclusion and acceptance, but I really struggle very much with your menu postings about alcohol for breakfast or in your soup or whatever. I wish health and happiness for you but it's very hard to watch someone self destruct on a daily basis and I hope that you can get that demon under control. Help from a program, sponsor, spiritual advisor, anyone or anything.

Good luck on your journey.

She is the same poster that continually changes her name and posts all kinds of crazy stuff, she's been reported and blocked and she just changes her name.

Good morning ~ Happy Friday! I feel as busy as you sound, but you totally win! I worked my ass off yesterday (too bad it's still there). I didn't have time to make/eat lunch, but I certainly didn't forget and made up for it when I got home. I made it through all the deadlines of the week and what do you know, 4 more popped up in its place. County government finance, what was I thinking? Today is my half day and I'm meeting kiddo for lunch today then getting new tires put on my car. Looking forward to the weekend to relax and shop for new couches. Ours are shot - only 3 years old from Wayfair - they were cheap but you get what you pay for. That'll teach me.

QOTD - That county government employees make too much $, ha. Maybe some upper management positions, but for the most part the responsibility far outweighs the $.

B-2 coffees w/half and half at home (oh how I've missed half and half!) then 1 at the office w/FLP.

B2 - L&F strawberry yogurt

L- Lunch w/kiddo - Indian after all the talk lately, it's happening

d- TBD leftovers or ?

Clearly did not plan, but will make it work.

Have a great day!!

oh that Meme. Wonder who I would pick.

Ooooh, so many people would get my fat!

I almost always end up with Laz-y-Boy couches and they wear very well.

Love that meme, though I wouldn't wish the extra weight on anyone. Enjoy your half day and lunch with kiddo!

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Your amazing JB you will kill that class. If I lived closer, I would whip out the Rudolph outfit and Join in the festivities. My weekend is jam packed. Last night was a meet and greet for my High School reunion and let's just say I can feel it this morning. No coffee yet I opted for a zero sugar Gatorade to get this day started. I was also told by a group of young ladies that were not with the reunion that they were surprised I was with them because I looked much younger than the rest of them. Yes big head swell. I'll take it as a win. Today is a lot of cooking and prepping for picnic lunch at the pool tomorrow. I already have an angel food cake in the oven for my strawberry shortcake dessert. As soon as that is done I have to go do grocery shopping so I can get the rest of the menu started. Add room for mom duty tomorrow and Family reunion Sunday,with a lot of cooking and cleaning in between.

QOTD: I can't think of anything except that WLS is the easy way out. I feverishly fight the battle of the bulge every day. Even more fiercely then pre surgery because I do not want to be looked at as a failure. Oh, BTW I had my annual with my bariatric clinic yesterday and they said stop betting myself up I am doing great.

Accountability: Way to many Old Fashions and very little food.

TSS: 5 years 7 month 3 days 158.8 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee mate Twix creamer

MS: something with eggs

CB: Coffee with SF Twix creamer

L: BBQ pork chops and vegies

D: whatever the meal is at the reunion. with less ****tails then yesterday

Exercise: Dog walking

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.

Have a great weekend my friends.

Brightest Blessings,

Chrissy

Graduation party last weekend. That is Mom on the end with her cigarette case in her hand.

Glamour shot of me and Rudy

Great picture with Rudy! You have strung together a couple of good news days in a row. Hopefully it continues over the weekend.

Great pictures! I'm glad your surgeon pointed out that you don't need to be so hard on yourself!
