Getting easier

Jul 15, 2009

Okay, so the camping trip this weekend was a fiasco.  All we do is eat delicious food, there, and I didn't.  Well, I tried, and then I vomited.  Sometimes I think I'm becoming bulemic.  I get such intense pressure in my pouch and all I can think of doing is getting it OUT.  Portion sizes were always my problem, and they continue to be.  I am gradually realizing that I have to take three bites and stop.  Enjoy every one of those three bites, but that is all you get.  Very hard for a big eater.

But my attitude is changing, and that I find healthy.  I am learning, slowly.  Have a saltine with peanut butter.  Sip your milk over 30 minutes.  Remember you have years left to eat.  You will have another french fry.  However, you will never eat to mental satiation.  That is the hard part.  No more endorphine release from the incredibly distended belly!

Some things I could tolerate before my pouch "woke up" are now giving me a few problems.  Not serious, but I have to be careful.  Like watermelon.  One piece.  Enjoy it, savor it, cause that is all you get. 

But hey!  I'm down 15.5 inches and 28 pounds.  And I'm still dropping!
