Tek got me to thinking...

After reading and posting to Tek's "Lie thread" I thought really hard about what I did NOT eat today. I mean, the post I made on his was just for fun...but really....what did I not eat today, that I had the opportunity to. A king sized box of Junior Mints. I took 3 and gave the rest to the kids. Poor kids lol. Pizza at a pizza party. I nibbled on the edge of a piece of cheesebread and called it good. The pizza just looked greasy and unappetizing. A mess of fried taters, eggs and bacon...I took my 3 eggs, 2 slices of bacon and about 1/4 cup of fried taters - gave about 1/3 of that to the dog. Preop I'd have eaten 3 eggs, 6 pieces of bacon, 2 cups of taters AND 4 slices of white toast. So that's what I didn't eat that I WOULD have preop - and that's just today. Wow. Thanks for making me think, Tek - even though I'm sure that wasn't your intent lol. ~Toots

Toots, now you got me thinking too? I never think of what I gave up for the day that several years ago I would not have. That's a very healthy approach. Rather than beating ourselves up for something you did have, maybe a pat on the back for what we didn't have would be a nice welcome. Thanks for the "reminder" . . . It's like looking at the glass as being half full or half empty. Missy

or the plate half empty vs half full? Wasn't my intent, but glad it got ya thinking!

Hes a sneaky little feller isn't he...I had some thoughts of my own I need to work on for me. I love to read his stuff but if we tell him this stuff to much maybe his head will get big..then his body would look funny Thanks Tex Wendy

lol yeah he is at that!

preop I would have been all over the plate of swet stuff at my department meeting, then instead of the luna bar I woul dhave hit McD'ss or BK for a 1/4 pounder or whopper, fries and coke (real one of course) at night I would have not waited til I got home to eat and would have hit the fast food probably again. not to mention the candy bar & coke I would have picked up when I was grocery shopping.. I know I have made real and lasting changes by typing this and that feels good!

Yup...me too! We've come a LONG way baby!

We have learned a bit, haven't we? After I posted my sarcastic post yesterday to Tek's thots, I realized that it wasn't too far-fetched. I ate just about anything I wanted or didn't want just because it was there.

Kind of scary in a way, eh? WOOHOO US LOL

Sorry, last thing I want is to cause people to think... doesn't it hurt or something? NO THANK YOU. Tek
