Didn't Give in to Temptation!!
Wow...what a weekend! My neighbors go away together every yr for "girls weekend" at Wildwood NJ the first weekend in June (there were 12 of us). This was the first yr I decided to join them...let me tell you...this was the most challenging weekend of my life! But I didn't give in to any temptations & I am personally--so proud of myself!
These girls brought every junk food imaginable along with tons of alcohol which they made Mimosa's, Bloody Mary's & Margarita's morning ,noon & night! They had bowls of candy all over the place (including butter creams--1 of my favorites) , cookies, bakery danish, bagels with cream cheese, breads, rolls, crackers, chips, dips...& ordered hoagies for lunch Friday & pizza for dinner Fri nite! Difficult was not even the word!! I was not hungry of course, but the smells were almost unbearable!
But I have to say...this was such a personal accomplishment for me! I brought my own bag of food & ate turkey chili for my meals, protein shakes & bars, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt & applesauce. I did not cheat even once! I only drank my water & never touched any alcohol all weekend! I just kept telling myself--I've tasted it all before & I'm not missing anything! And also...by this time next yr I might just be at my goal wt!! That was motivation for me!
Thanks for letting me share! Hugs,
Diane

Keeping ur eye on those goals.. way to go! 
Give yourself BIG pats on the back for sticking to your meal plans and not letting the distractions sway you on food, beverage and everything else. That's a lot to deal with being that you're not too far out from surgery but it sounds like you did an incredible job and you should be very proud of yourself for that. And you know that junk food is always going to be there - and you know what its done to you in the past. And honestly if you had eaten any of that food it probably would have made you physically ill and ruined your weekend - you didn't want that!
Congratulations!!
