I spilled my Optifast! Eep!

Nov 01, 2012

I got home from an evening function tonight.  There was dinner served there around 5:30-6:30, so I brought my Magic Bullet and my Optifast, and I went into a back room with some ice and whizzed some up there, and then went about with my shake as naturally as everyone else was standing around with their paper plates of heavenly-smelling jerk chicken, saffron rice, and Jamaican patties.

Everything went great, I drank my Opti, didn't have any unbearable temptation to eat the food, and socialized just fine.  No one noticed or cared what I was drinking.

But by the time it was time to go home (around 9:15 p.m.) I was ravenous!  I really wanted to get home and make my final Opti for the day!

So I get home by 9:30, rush right into the kitchen, prepare the Optifast and bring it into the living room so I can relax with it.  AND I DROPPED THE CUP AND SPILLED 2/3 OF IT ON THE FLOOR!

I couldn't believe it.  I thought, what the heck do I do now?  I only ordered exactly enough of it, and that's a package, gone!  Will I have to try and order one pouch of it?  I'm always hungry enough to eat all 4 pouches every day.  I read with amazement when people on OH talk about only being able to get 3 shakes a day in.  Seriously?  I'd eat 8 of them if I could.

Anyhow.  So I took a look at what was left in the glass and told myself, okay.  I'm going to suck it up tonight and live with just this little bit that's left as my fourth shake today so that I don't have to put off the pain and deny myself a shake over the next few days, and certainly not the last night before surgery.

So, I've had my third-of-a-shake.  And now I'm going to go to bed so that the hunger won't hit before I get to sleep!  I sure hope I don't end up doing THAT again!
