Survived Temptation and proud of me

Really sticking with the pre-op food regimen and getting ready for next Thursday. When I'm tempted, even a little, I ask myself if taking a bite of something not on the diet, if eating it would be worth it.

Today is our granddaughter's 6th birthday. We ordered pizza, her choice, and Mommy brought a cake. I drank my protein shake before they got here, served the pizza and sodas, then fixed my tuna and unsweet tea. Then came the cake...I could just about smell it through the plastic cover...I wanted it so bad...but it just wasnt worth it. AND my g-daughter tells me all the time that there are things I can't have. She doesn't nag, but she seems to understand that Gma will be healthier, stronger, thinner, more active, and more fun after I lose the weight. She says thats what she wants. I am so happy to have her in my corner rooting for me!

Counting down the days

That's great!  I can relate - the other day, I bypassed the giant muffins and candy bars that were around the office that day.  People were amazed!

You're almost at your surgery date - best of luck to you!

Hi Kristi,
           You are doing a great job of taking care of yourself.  Very proud of you. You should do a happy dance.   Mag    

Proud of you, I know how good bread calls to me and avoiding it makes me feel powerful. Each time we over power the temptations is a great event.

 Kristi....what an awesome job you are doing....I am so proud of you!!!

Hugs....connie d

Good for you, and good for your g-daughter, to understand you need to skip the cake this year. It's hard ...but next year you might be able to have a taste. (Some can, some can't, everyone is different.)
