7 pounds!
Jun 30, 2011
Woohoo, stepped on the scale this morning and it says I lost 7 pounds! I feel very proud as I did this without any exercise added in. I have had mostly all liquids with a little lean protein and salads thrown in. It's nice to be able to eat something of substance and not be on 100% liquids. I don't know if I could have done that at this point. It's one thing to limit what you eat AFTER your stomach has been removed but when you still have your entire stomach without any restrictions, it's REALLY tough. I have only cheated once, had a bite of a tortilla. I mean I ripped off an end and it melted in my mouth. I had it with the tortilla soup broth from the WONDERFUL Alamo Cafe here in SA. It was a huge change from what I normally eat there. Usually it would be two beef fajita tacos, queso, tortillas, and a diet coke. Yep, can't have any of that right now. :-( But I thought I did well to be honest.I find myself trying to reason with myself, but I ultimately come back to "this is for you", "give yourself a chance". I don't know if I have EVER done that. I have always put others first. This is me time and I am going to enjoy/live through every minute of it.
Ta, ta for now... heading to the 'rents house for by brother to grill some chicken for me. I am eating the heck out of grilled chicken! Love it... :-)
