Things People Don't Tell You About Losing Weight Okay. . . . so we're losing the weight and that is great but there are some things people don't tell you. I'm here to take up the slack!!
1. Your refrigerator and freezer stay full. Example: I didn't feel like cooking so I went by a buffet to get a to go meal. I realized I could get 4 meals out of this trip and I only had one container. The downside, I like variety so I will not be eating that 4 meals in a row. So, in the meantime you have something else to eat which can be turned into 2 meals or more and end up with more food in the frig. My freezer is jam packed. So the food doesn't go bad, that's where it ends up. Therefore, a full frig and freezer.
2. Spaghetti straps can be deadly. LADIES, this one is for you.Because the nighties and lingerie are getting to be too big your spaghetti straps will take on a life of their own while you sleep. I woke up one morning to find my breasts had fallen out of my nightgown. This would have not been a problem if it wasn't for the spaghetti straps. The straps had wrapped themselves around one of my breasts in a very entangled manner. I took me 5 minutes to work myslf out of those darn straps. It was painful, too. Thought I was going to give myself a radical mastectomy fighting to get out of the straps.
3. Hunger strikes at the most inoppurtune times. My stomache seems to tak eon a life of its own when I am truly hungry. It sounds like I have a lion in there or something. This noise always seems to come about while I'm some place relatively quiet like church or Sunday school. Those are also the times when inexplicably I don't have a snack with me.
4. People may think you are fasting for religous reasons when you're on the liquid diet. LOL. My sorority had a function one week after my surgery that I needed to attend. Of course, I couldn't eat the meal provided. When one of my sorors inquired why I wasn't eating I said I was on liquids only. All of a sudden she got real serious, lowered her voice almost to a whisper and asked very seriously, "Is it for religous purposes?" She was so serious and humble, I couldn't help but laugh.
