A Close Call, and A Sweet NSV

Jan 16, 2011

I got up this morning, and found myself not at ALL hungry.  Instead of ignoring my full-feeling belly and grabbing at least a Greek yogurt to kick-start my metabolism, I instead foolishly waited until I was hungry, and made an egg salad sandwich (homemade egg salad, with Smart Beat mayo on Pepperidge Farm Deli Delights flat bread) and also took a Chobani lemon yogurt.    I was either performing a random act of mindless eating, or I was just eating WAAAAYYYYYYY faster than I should have, because after about four bites, I began to feel it.  The dreaded "stuck" feeling.  And of course, I did the EXACT wrong thing.... took a couple of sips of my iced coffee, to try and make the feeling go away.  I know, I know... I can't even begin to tell you guys how many countless numbers of times the RN, the dietician and the psychologist reiterated over and over that if you begin feeling stuck, DO NOT drink anything, because it will make it worse.   I learned, first-hand, exactly what they meant.   I immediately stopped what I was doing and went to lie down in my bed.  I waited until the feeling pass, and then got up again (slowly), and CAREFULLY resumed eating.  I was able to finish the sandwich, and my yogurt, without any further problems.  That was too much of a close call for my comfort, though, and I never plan on feeling that way again.   Now, for the NSV.... the hubs and I kicked some booty and gave our house a thorough cleaning today.  We stopped in the middle, to talk for a minute, and he leaned over to give me a hug and a smooch.  As he wrapped his arms around me, he said, "You're definitely getting skinny... I can fit my arms all the way around you now."  He said I also got my cheekbones back, as well as the dimples in my cheeks.  Guess it's starting to show, at least a little! :)
