Learning Curve

Jan 25, 2010

I must say I am learning about me and my eating habits on this WL journey.  I eat without thinking!  Not good.  Saturday night was my first "night" out.  Went to some friends to watch the University of Kentucky CATS!  GO CATS!  Everyone brought food.  I brought some things I thought I could eat and I ate some potato soup.  All was good until I had to taste the pie-only the filling. . . then I had to have some of this desert like a chess squares.  Needless to say I ate too much and my tummy hurt-ouch. 

Well didn't quite learn my lesson.  Sunday had shake for breakfast, lunch-sweet potato.  Then for dinner I made pancakes from oatmeal, cottage cheese, and egg whites.  Yummy!  Well ate small bites and smart serving.  Did okay.  Later went to the kitchen to clean up and there was a couple of pancakes left over sitting on the counter.  I picked one up and took a bite okay-then decided to dip another piece in applesauce-OH MY-didn't chew.  First experience with something getting stuck.  I had a total panic attack-it hurt so bad.  I paced the floor, spit up, burped, finally drank 2 ounces of hot water.  That fixed it.  This episode lasted maybe 15 mintues and it left me shaking.  I was so scared. 

Today only liquids.  No more pancakes!  Hopefully this lesson will stick-no pun intended-for a day or two.
