The Holiday Season Is Officially Over!

Dec 26, 2013

     Well, here I am at the end of the holiday season.  I not only survived, but I lost weight through the holidays.  When was the last time that happened?  Never...NEVER!?!  Wow, that has never happened for me.  What a change weight loss surgery has made in me.  I hosted not only Thanksgiving, but Christmas as well.  I made my traditional breakfasts on both occasions, of homemade cinnamon rolls, and never ate a bite.  I made my homemade rolls as well, and only had one nibble.  I made my traditional holiday cookies, although on a smaller scale, and never touched the cookies I shouldn't have.  I did however, make cookies for my husband and I that were sugar free and high protein.  I also stayed away from the eggnog.  I am feeling really victorious on the way I have come through the holidays.

     I guess one can say that I had a "step up" when it comes to being victorious this year.  I still have some difficulty when it comes to eating sometimes.  I don't always tolerate meats or other things.  I can't eat more than a few ounces at a time.  I am rarely ever hungry.  Despite all these things though, I do know that I still make the decision on what I eat and how much.  Ultimately it is me that is losing the weight, its not all the surgery that was preformed on me.  So in fact I am allowed to feel victorious coming through the holidays.

    I am still elated over my decision of having the surgery.  I don't regret it at all.  Even the "tossing it" after meals hasn't made me regret my decision.  Thank you God for this opportunity that you have given me.
