WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
Dairy Queen twice in one day!!
I have to share a WOW moment that I had yesterday. My husband had his tonsils removed and well it's a little pitiful at my house! So on the way home from surgery he asked me to stop at DQ to get him some ice cream for his "sore throat" (not to mention it's his favorite treat)! Me being the wonderful wife that I am fulfilled his request cause lord knows that man has taken care of me over the past two years with all of my surgeries etc..
Later that evening he attempted to have some cottage cheese and by the look of his face I knew it wasn't going to go down well. I again headed to DQ to help his sore throat!
Now I have to tell you that before surgery I was a DQ kind of girl. Give me a foot long chili cheese dog along with a Reese's cup blizzard and I was one happy chic.. :)
Why is this a WOW moment for me? Well let me just say the first thing I imagined in my mind, while I was looking at the menu, was a red light blinking and all I heard was "Sugar, Sugar, Sugar". Oh my gosh my teeth hurt just looking at all the items to choose from. I actually made that scrunched up face look (like gross why would I want that) and said "Yuck".
I didn't realize until later that evening that I just went to DQ 2x in one day and didn't sit and dream about eating a Reese's cup blizzard and my mouth didn't salivate. I literally drove up, placed an order, didn't think twice about it and left. HOLY SCHNIKIES... 3 1/2 years ago I would have succumbed to the call of the sweet sensation of Mrs. DQ and her sugary treats. 1 1/2 years ago I would have seriously looked at him and said I love you but sorry you will have to find someone else to pick it up because I just can't mentally do it.
This was just an amazing personal defeat for me that I wanted to share!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Am I correct that you did not feel the craving that you would have before? If anything that's one of the major WOW's. To let members know that the craving goes away. Well I hope your husband knows how much you truly love him because that was LOVE!! Yep I was a Blizzard girl too. It was so good at first but I can remember how awful I would feel after I would eat one. I'm so glad those days are over. Congrats girl!!
