Today was the first time I got irritated because I couldn't do something physically. Jeremy and I took home his friend and on the way home, a guy beside us motioned that our tire was low. So we pulled into the next gas station and sure enough, it was not just low but flat. I have been changing my own tires since I started driving, because it was a requirement from my Dad that I know how to change a tire before I pulled out of the driveway for the first time.... Didn't go over so well that day, because I was all dolled up and ready for a date and he made me do it before I left, but it has been one of those things I have never had to call and ask anyone to help me with in the last 25 years either, so Im so glad he made me change my perfectly good inflated tire, just so I would know how!!! But today, I knew I would not be able to get it done without pulling and straining and Jeremy had never done it, so I didn't feel the safest with teaching him at that moment. Oh and did I mention is started pouring down rain!!! So needless to say, I was irritated at not being able to do something all by myself, but thats just me. So I bought a can of fix a flat and made it to where my husband was so him and Jeremy could change it. AAArrrgggg. Anyway after that was taken care of, we finally made it to our friends house where we were having a huge cook out. I still can't believe how the wonderful smells and everyone eating all that wonderful food didn't just drive me insane, but it didn't. I just sipped on my juice and water and ate my pudding and yogurt while I was chatting with all my friends. It feels so good to be able to do stuff without food being the center of my enjoyment. Before surgery, I would have grazed on the food all afternoon as we were yapping, but for it not to even be a factor still just blows my mind. I'm sure it will change as time goes on, but I am perfectly content with this feeling for now. Had SF chocolate pudding for the first time tonight, it was really yummy. Going to try to make it with my slimfast tomorrrow and see how it taste. Figure it is a good way to get in my slimfast and for it to be a little more appetizing.
