How Are You Today?

Today I feel motivated and powerful and also regretting what i ate earlier!  I also have a very unreal feeling like it isn't really going to happen and I am afraid to get my hopes up.  The last few days as i get ready for my skim milk diet have been a bit of a rollercoaster!  Today my family had a "farewell to fat" party.  we had a turkey dinner and costco cake.  lol  it is funny because i havent felt the need to overeat or even wanted to since i made this decision.  I have lost 44 pounds recently and it was the easiest weight loss i have ever had.  I think i am seeing the light at the end of the fat tunnel.  as a result, the costco cake made me want to puke!!  but i guess that will make me not miss it later..i also stopped before i felt too full and didnt feel the need to stuff myself.  it was a nice feeling, still feel a little guilty about the cake and lets be honest the piece i had later.

Congrats on the weight loss!   I am having my "fair well to drinks" party this Saturday LOL.  I do not drink much at all, but boy I want one last hurrah. 

I went out to Olive Garden tonight as one as the meals that I wanted to say goodbye to.   I barely ate any of the meals and saved a lot as left overs.  I stopped before I was "full" and it even left me room for cake.  I have noticed that certain foods that I would love to eat, my body is starting to reject.  I do not like Mc D fries, Chinese food, or pizza.  And trust me I loved it before!  I think mentally my mind, like yours, is getting prepared.

I had my preop appointment today, and I can tell you I am beyond elated!!! I have 11 days until my surgery.  The next week is going to fly by getting everything ready at my job.  I think I am more nervous about that than anything.

I do not think that you can feel guilty for what you eat.  They are decisions that we make, and we have to own up to what we put in our body.  Next to my fridge and my Pantry I have the sayings  " Food never tasted as good as Skinny feels"   and "Food is here to fuel the body to accomplish great things, not to comfort me."
And having these up to remind me has helped me not to eat that other piece of cake or to take a second helping.

Keep strong.  This is a LIFE change to make our lives better! WOOT WOOT!

i ate cake and i owned it... lol 

when you start to take responsibility and look at what you are eating it makes things look alot different.  my body has started rejecting foods too.  fats and starches and sugar were really starting to bother me,  healthy eating finally kicked in!  on the countdown??
