A BandName........

First.......... since I am so scale oriented right now......... 200.8 this morning!
SO CLOSE...... but still 2something.
Some peeps on my LBT Violet thread were talking about naming our bands......
BillyBadAss, WIT aka whateverittakes, UpChuck, Bluto........ funny and poinant.... mine is named Crazy Nadine......... its a family name for me... my hard of hearing grandpa thought that my dad gave me a hippy name of "crazy" so in that side of the family it was my name....., later my neice Erica got a hold of the name and to her I was Crazy Nadine, after her uncle and I divorced no one really called me it anymore.. and so I am naming my band "crazy nadine" because she is fickle and picky, and my little silicone fist that shows me who is boss......... and the best thing I've ever done 100% for myself!

So then in my last post I was obsessing about maybe being too tight.....
today not so much. We took the boys to the movies. They all wanted to see
the Chipmunks..... (I tried telling them it was sold out) but no luck.. we watched the
singing rodents...... my 4 year old got bored by the end, but he did love it..

My point......... I had a kiddee combo........ tiny dt pepsi, fruit snack, and hot butter movie popcorn...... I ate the entire thing..... it took well over an hour but how AMAZING.. my band likes popcorn........ so NO ONEderland for me tomorrow I'm sure, but soon...

The more fastenating and aweinspiring thing is that pre band I would of had a mega combo W/refills! I'm going to eat lightly and smartly tonight and hope for the best tomorrow.

Have a great Saturday people!

OK... lets talk about being too tight

I'm talking RESTRICTION tightness....... pervs

First thing......... scale said 202 this morning! officially 70 lbs down from April 1, 2007..... I'm glad I'm happy... I'm almost in ONEderland..... but I think I may have to face facts that with my last tweaker fill (.3 cc's) I am too tight..... I don't know... I need to evaluate what exactly I'm eating and how fast. I've been eating mostly soups....... soups laced with crackers. I did eat some rotel dip w/ chips on Christmas eve, and yesterday I had mashed potatoes w/brown gravy...

I had a pretty violet PB last week on a very tender bbq meatball that had been in the crock pot all day...... It scared me. It was not a normal little PB (it was violent retching that hurt) hurt my port area and I went to bed with a heating pad. I haven't felt any pain since, but now I'm freaked out............ I need to get away from all the holiday sweets, and REALLY evaluate what I'm eating. I know that I do need more protein, to which my dh says he's got the answer...... :)
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWe.......... :) I do need to decide....... am I eating 1/2 cup of food and staying full???????? (IF I answered this truthfully, yes 1/2 -1 cup of food IS all I'm eating)

The filling out of a deviled egg with a cracker COULD ball up and clog the ol band... did I suck the filling out of 4 deviled eggs????? is that a half cup??? All questions that I need to consider really consider before messing with my restriction.......... because right now it kicks ass!

Merry Christmas!

Not much to write this week because the scale is not budging 203.8 it said this morning ... ticks me off, but I know its because I've been eating the crumbly goodness of Holiday sweets. (the good thing is... I'm eating 1 thing and NOT an entire PLATTER) the beauty of the band.....



I'm doing well, and I'm oh so happy to be looking like the pic to the left rather than the sad sap I was a year ago. I keep telling myself that if I lose slowly then maybe my belly and my knee's will "snap" back instead of look deflated, but who am I kidding????? My belly has NEVER been snappable! :)



My friend B was up a couple weeks ago and we enjoyed a most fabulous weekend... she's 5 or so years out from having the RNY.... the major difference between her eating and mine....

We went out for Cheesecake and Coffee......... mine went down fine, hers sent her into a major Dumping episode...and she NEVER dumps...... she ate bread, I didn't even dare try it. :)

SWEET DREAMS AND SMALLER JEANS!
