What we are eating and what's eating us,Thursday....
Oh my Jean,that poor woman,talk about living in La La Land! It reminds me of the little hobbits,I watch Harry Potter with my grands and daughter who love it. Anyway,the hobbits have breakfast,and 2nd breakfast.and lunch,then 2nd lunch,you get the idea.
I guess her rational is "If I plan it,it is not compulsion".
I have had to adjust my eating because my meds affect my pouch.
I eat small meals,and I do not let it bother me. I can not eat a lot at once and I hate feeling full. Some people consider small meals "grazing",but I say what ever works for ya,ya know?
I too basically eat when I am hungry,the clock thing does not work for me,if I try to eat by the clock,I get ill.
Hope your day was good!

That is thought provoking Linda. Some days I eat because it is time. Other days I forget, then feel all woozy. True hunger is seldom an issue anymore so I eat by the clock..
I had the best chili last night. My son-in-law made it but Matthew spoon fed me. He wanted to sit on my lap at dinner, GRIN, I couldn't resist. He then decided to feed himself a bite then one for grandma.
We were both a chili mess by the end of the meal. Two year olds are rather awkward feeding themselves and worse feeding others. Didn't care, it was delightful.

Oh, Annette, you have me yearning for the time that is coming for Kayden and I. I am so anxious to start with the grandbaby memories. I am taking someones idea and running with it for the journal. I am so looking forward to sharing thoughts with him. I am going to include some of the stories that happen and he might forget. I am going to include some of the poetry that I write about him too.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Oh, that is so cute Annette! My grandbabies always want to help Mama. I love it!
JOY
JOY
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!
Good morning to you sweet Linda. I pray that today is good for you, me and all! God does work in mysterious ways and at times he works through just us and other times he works through others. He knows just what we need and when we need it. Now all we have to do is to remember to learn from things not only in the bad times but the good ones too.
I am going to call the surgeon this morning since I know that this hernia is getting worse. I have been miserable since yesterday afternoon. Bill told me to make sure to call him first thing in the morning. It is acting up.....not with pain but with other things. So now is the time I am thinking. Just as long as I get to hold my grandbaby for a bit before that I am fine with the things that are going to happen. I know that there is going to be an end and that life will get back to normal and even better.
I am planning food today but I am not sure just what is going to happen. I am at a low in weight and that is good. I don't want to mess that up and so I am going to venture with baby steps and know that I am going to have to put the whole things in someone else's hands and let control out the window. Oh brother is that a hard one to do........I love to control my life, your life, Bill's life and everyone on the street's life too! Heck I would control the world if I could and not have a problem with it at all! Can you tell I have the problem of being a control freak? I didn't think so since I hide it so well! Big smile on that one!!!!!!!
B: sf oatmeal with sunflower kernels (I might actually eat it today)
L: frozen low cal entree (am I going to consume that too?)
D: not sure but trust me it is going to be as simple as possible
S: pack of cookies if I eat one
I feel so proud that I am getting through all the turmoil in my life right now without having to eat my way through it. I am in tune with my feelings and that feels so good. It is a new experience for me so I am a bit apprehensive but I am getting through it. I might not like what I come face to face with but at least I am coming face to face and going on. So with that being said I would say that most times I do not get hungry. I sometimes feel like I could eat a horse but with a bit of time that goes away. So I do not eat when I am feeling that all time. I usually try to look at the situation and see if it is head hunger or actual hunger. I am just really starting to do that so I must be growing in something.....as long as it isn't my old clothes size it must be alright.
Have a wonderful day and don't forget that beautiful smile of yours. It brings more joy to others than you would ever think. I know just by looking at the photo you have. I am sending love and hugs to you, my dear special girl and know that I am saying prayers for you and yours through the day. I do prayers all the times during the day that is the only way I can get through the day.

Brenda,I am so happy you are holding that grandbaby! I felt like coming down there and spanking people! It was honestly cheesing me off! We can not let the happy times be stolen from us like that.
I try to make sure I get all my protein in,but it is why I end up with a protein drink at the end of the day. My NUT says my body will start holding on to everything if it thinks it is starving.
Before WLS,I ate more when I was sick,believing somewhere in my sick little heart that I could make myself feel better that way.I thank God I do not over eat anymore,and feel awful if I get full,so now I know to leave those 2 bites on the plate,because I am tuned in.
How anyone could think you are controlling is beyond me dear Brenda!
Hugs!

Hi folks, Glad we made it over the hump day. Still overwhelmed at work here and using that as an excuse to slack off on good eating habits. I've been sampling the pastries that always seem to at work. But I started tracking food again yesterday and I'm walking after work today. Also talking to a nice man I met online which is incentive to get back on track with my food and exercise plan. CV Linda
