Had some wine.....

Well I passed my midterm and had a glass of wine last night, no problems just that I am such a light weight now...I had 1/2 a glass and was sloshed. Tasted good and ate a chocolate protein snack with the wine and reflected how normal I am feeling.....maybe to normal, I mean what if the " magic" is ending and I wasted some days by not exercising and making some not so good choices, I mean I am not perfect, but overall I feel I am making better choices by now then before. I will not drink wine for a long time because it is not healthy and does not get me to goal any faster, but it felt good to feel like one day I will hopefully be at goal and be able to enjoy some simple pleasures that I thought I would never get to try again.

the Dr last night was telling us that we would not be able to drink much after LOL it sounds like you know first hand.  But Congrats on the weight loss!

That is awesome! I cant wait for the day when I can have half a glass and be sloshed!! haha. Congrats on making great choices!

I agree with you 100% - we won't ever be normal again as in before surgery, but it is so nice to sit  and sip on occasions and feel a  little bit normal.   I am some a cheap date nowadays!   I think it will take some adjustment for our heads to accept that " the magic " does not have to end - it is all in our control now.   I don't know about you, but before I had even heard of weight loss surgery, if I was on a diet and caved in to something that was not on it I always used to beat myself up over it and my head told me that I was a total failure once again.   I don't think that way anymore because this wonderful tool has empowered me and made me stronger.   My tastes have changed too - my favourite candy is now pickled gherkins????   You won't hopefully get to goal, I bet you will get to goal - we don't all have to be 100% perfect on this journey, and no-one will change my mind on that!
You are doing so well!................Marion

Hi Jenn!

Congrats on passing your midterm!!  We just got back from a 10 day cruise to Alaska.  It was a cheaper cruise b/c I wasn't drinking!!  Overall eating was fine.  I made some poor food choices where I wasn't choosing protein first, but we also worked out 6 of the 10 days.  6 mos ago I would never have even known where the fitness center on the ship was located!!!

Great to hear about your husband too!  Take care!
