Feeling guilty?!

Nov 19, 2009

Went to my first post op appointment. I felt great. I was down 23 pounds in 2 weeks and I couldn't wait to get off the liquids. So the doctor tells me that I can eat soft foods. I was so excited, I left the office and went straight to Wendys to get a plain baked potato. Only ate 1/3 of it. Really slow and chewed.  I went and brought everything on the list that I thought I would like.  

And now because I ate maybe 2 tblsp worth of food, I feel guilty. Is that normal? To feel guilty for eating. I didn't even want to weigh myself this morning. I felt like I was messing up my progress ( and I know that isn't so)....

So all morning, I've been trying to encourage myself and realize that I have to take things slowly, don't force myself to eat. Take my time and chew everything.....again and again.

It is a journey
