Yesterday was our annual OPEN Enrolment meeting day...........
I am ashamed to say that NOT ONE MORSEL of real food entered my mouth.......... I graized on crap all day........
The ONLY saving grace was between setting up, presenting, tearing down and cleaning up... I expended a lot of energy....... but I did bounce UP two hard earned pounds this morning...
I am down a total of 59 lbs and although I had a slip in judgement my band is right here waiting for me take the day seriously again. I DO have awesome restriction, but folks....... crunchy crumbly GOES RIGHT THROUGH! So the bite size scones and cookies and petit four.. RIGHT THROUGH........ grrrrrrrr THE GUILT! THE SHAME!
I had several people email me after the meetings and ask what I've been doing to lose weight.... so that felt good......... it also felt KICK ass to actually grab my own ass wearing a size 14 and have room in them! WHOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO priceless baby priceless
Today I was back.......... and tested my restriction on 1 crunchy taco........... too fast........ damn... it was so good I shoved it in my mouth and greedily started eating............. HALF way through the thing.......... I AM DONE! a small pb and full.......... yup restriction is there. All while my doubting mother is AMAZED that her eldest daughter actually left a mound of cheese, lettuce and tomatoe and half a taco on her plate untouched. She then asked if I could adopt her and my step dad so that they could have the surgery under my insurance! LOL She said...... "Tracy, It's WORKING! You are a lot smaller than you were!" :)
Tonight while out with DH and DS.......... I had some mushroom and wild rice soup.. it was good.. and yes I WAS able to eat a fried mushroom or two and a Corn Nugget....... but NOT AN ENTIRE ORDER................ like in the old days.......... 1-3 each and that was it. (and the soup helped it along) ................ Yes, yes, eating hot SOUP before eating something else.. is called
EATING AROUND THE BAND! CHEATING THE BAND it is possible to do......... the question one has to ask........ SHOULD YOU?
That is why those researching the band will read.. IT IS JUST A TOOL! and it is right and I knew it going in......... the absolute BEST thing that happened tonight even WITH eating soup...... is that my entire meal........ could of been put on a plate and only equaled HALF... (I did not eat the rice in the soup I mainly ate the mushrooms and the broth)
OK.... signing off for now!
I LOVE MY BAND!
