WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!

Happy Saturday LW's!!!  Take some time for yourselves today!!!
  I take my Mom to the eye Dr. today to get tested for Glaucoma.  I was hoping for decent weather so I could take her for a few groceries and maybe to the mall but it is raining and super windy.  She is going to want to go home right after her appointment.

I'm off out to dinner at someone's house, so I have no idea what I'll be eating.  I hope it doesn't cause me any upsets... I'm good with most things these days - almost to my detriment!! ;-)

I know I am guilty of working around my WLS sometimes.  Like spreading out a piece of cake so I don't dump thinking that since I am not eating it all at one time it won't show up on the scales....lol

Hope you had a good time at your get together!

Sounds Good!

I was just catching up on the LW posts and I've got to say Way To Go Roz!  117 is amazing!  I'm very impressed that you are managing so well with this late change in diet.  Gives me hope that it really is a lifestyle change and that we just need to be flexible and yet stay the protein first course to be successful long term.  Go you!

Thanks Ashley...I was totally surprised by it!  Protein is the only thing that works for me!!!  Maybe if I exercised then I could include a few other things but since I don't this works for me.  I was so panicked when I had to change my menus but the Dr. gave me good suggestions on how to increase my Protein with safe foods.  Luckily for me I don't need a lot of variety to make me happy....

Sounds Yummy!

Just checking in, running behind again today....just had coffee so far and it's 1:30 here :/  

Multiple protein drinks sometime today to make sure I get my protein in.  I leave early Monday morning and my mom does not have internet so I may not be able to post while I'm gone, if not I'll talk to you all when I get back ;)
