Happy Monday! My goal for the week is to be a mindful eater all week and if I do snack, to only snack on protein. I struggle with wanting to snack on carbs in the afternoon. My strategy this week is to have a protein bar during my hour drive during the

Happy, happy Friday! This has been a tough week for me. One year ago today my 32 year old cousin died of cancer and it has been hard dealing with that. My mom is suffering from terrible depression and refuses to admit it and get help. My husband is str

I had a rough weekend.  I went to a birthday party and ate things I shouldn't have.  Now, I have 12 lbs to lose before I go on vacation instead of 10.  :(  Luckily, I guess, I have a cold and I feel yucky and I don't want to eat today.

B: yogur

I'm looking forward to the long weekend! Yay!

B: chicken sausage with cheese

S: 3 small sausage links and a small square of lemon crumb cake. (I have no willpower some days.)

L: leftover Mexican pork in a green sauce

Good morning! I gave in and had some sugar yesterday when I had a horrendous headache and Tylenol wasn't helping. It was just a couple small bites of dark chocolate but it did the trick!

B: protein bar and a few bites of jerky. I can't remember

Happy Friday everyone!  I'm so glad it is Friday.  This week was my first week back at school and I'm exhausted.  This weekend we are camping with my son's cub scout pack.  It should be fun!  Then, our 12th wedding anniversary is on Sunday.  Hopefully

This weekend we went to a lake that is difficult to get to.  We drove our Jeep over some amazingly large rocks.  On the way back up the mountain (it is up a mountain and then back down another one to get to the lake) I jumped out of the Jeep and RAN up

Wow, was I on carb overload yesterday. :(  Stupid hormones really effect me.  Today is a new day and I'm going to be a great eater.  I found an awesome recipe for cilantro chicken that I'm going to make for dinner tonight.

B: yogurt and granola

Good morning everyone!  I'm always on the look out for new food ideas and this post hasn't been happening every day.  I miss it!

B: shake and some almonds

L: pork chili verde (my mom made it the other day and it is fantastic!)

This weekend I went to a convention with some people I've know for at least 20 years (I'll be 37 tomorrow) but many of whom I haven't seen in a few years.  It was AWESOME because a whole bunch of people didn't recognize me!  I had one gentleman (a frie

I'm so thankful for having made this choice and thankful for my friend who inspired me by taking control of her own situation.  My highest weight was 272, surgery weight was about 260, lowest so far is 140.6 and this morning I'm 144.6.  I've been succe

I've been working on it, but today when I thought one of the classes I took wasn't going to count toward renewing my teaching certificate (which expires in 8 days, so if the class doesn't count I'm screwed) my first thought was that I needed a peanut b

The last couple times I've eaten (lunch and dinner yesterday and breakfast this morning) I have gotten a pain on my upper left side, kind of on my back.  At lunch I thought maybe it was because I ate too fast, but I slowed way down last night and this

There are many wonderful aspects of living in Wyoming, but one that I love is that we are a very short drive away from Yellowstone.  We went twice last summer, once about 2 months prior to my VSG and once a few weeks after.  I'm so very excited to be g

Today I'm going to stop eating sugar. At about 6 month post op I started eating sweets. It started as a bite of really awesome chocolate once a week, and then twice, and then every day, and then a Girl Scout cookie, and them 2. I've been really bad. I

Yesterday I did REAL push ups for the first time in probably 20 years.  I didn't have to put my knees down at all.  I'm pretty pumped.

The nurse at my surgeons office, who also had WLS, said she has never met a person who was glad they had plastic surgery. Can you tell me your opinion? I'm only 10 months post op but I would really like to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift.

I'm wondering how many people out there work very hard at eating a low fat diet, in addition to low carb and low calorie, after VSG.  I'm in another online support group and there is one person in particular who is very adamant about eating low fat...s

Last night I made pizza for my family.  I made homemade crust, homemade sauce, the whole nine yards.  For me and my dad (who had RNY in October) I melted some mozzarella cheese in a frying pan and then put the toppings on top of that...hamburger and sa

Although I gained some weight (hopefully water) on vacation, I thought I would mention the wonderful NSVs that happened!  First, I forgot my pajamas so instead I wore my husband's tshirt.  I used to fit into it, but it was tight.  Now it is a baggy dre

I was pretty sure it was going to happen, but I gained some weight while on vacation.  We were gone for six days.  I was really good for the first four days, but the last two were tough.  We were just sitting around on Monday and I don't do well when t

I had my 9 month appointment yesterday.  My high weight was 272, my surgery weight was about 260 and I currently weigh 148.  According to the surgeon I have lost 90% of my excess body weight, I'm a huge success and I should stop losing weight.  That is

...is hard for me.  Why is appreciation always shown with food?!

I can see how maintenance is going to be very difficult.  I'm not quite there yet... I'd like to lose 8 more pounds, but if I don't, I'll still be happy.  But, I just opened our little frig in our room at work and saw a 7-Up.  I haven't had a pop in ov

So, this is strange, but I don't seem to have body odor any more.  I've actually stopped wearing deodorant.  Has anyone else had this experience?  I weigh 148 now, I've lost 112 lbs.
