My Food Day

Started out the day so psyched!  Did wonderful...then came dinner.  Not too bad but not perfect.  Then, my husband, who I love with all my heart, came home with some Ben and Jerry's ice cream.  I wanted it/felt obligated to eat it.  BUT....had about an eighth of the carton and put it away forever.  I also started exercising a tiny bit.  (I'm SO out of shape...all I could do was 5 min on the stationary bicycle )   SO, not so bad and not so good but I'm happy with my first efforts to get back to myself.  It will get better and better.  I'm so happy I can report on my progress.  It really helps.  To those who are reading this boring topic, thank you so much for your support!!! 

I know what you mean about being out of shape.  After 20 minutes of cleaning I have to do something sitting down.  Many years ago at a weight  watchers meeting, our leader told a woman to just walk to the end of her driveway and the next day to the next door neighbor's driveway and so on.  Just beginning is the big step.  We can do this.  take care, Tri

Great advice!  Thanks ! 

I was one of those people who loved ice cream but after surgery I can hardly get it down so when I really think I want some I stop at McDonalds and get a vanilla cone and still have trouble with it. I don't do this often or I would be in trouble. I to have started exercising and really I can do this it is a matter of wanting to. You all remind me that we didn't go through this surgery for nothing and I will keep trying. Thanks for your inspiration.

I'm not much of a poster on web sites but this site has kept me sane.  Everyone here is amazing. We've all gone through the same experiences.  We are all unique in what we have chosen to do to keep living. Bravo us!
