Ok, if you know about my blog on Obesity Help I have been updating it regularly. Well, if you lost the link it is, http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/valenciafl
I do tend to cross post them here, but if you specifically want surgery updates, they will be there.
If you dont want to go check it out let me give you the great news. In a week I have lost 10lbs! yeahoo!!! In the past two weeks I am down about 14lbs.
If this keeps up, by the time my insurance gets its act together, I may not want to ahve the surgery ;)
I can thank a baseball game for giving me the motivation to stay on this low carb thing so far. I broke 2 seats at a local minor league game...while with a church group. yeah, i freaked inside, and ended up taking the kids to the park area they have there to get away. I am sure people felt so sorry for me...other than the rednecks who shouted rude comments as I fell the first time. Oh well, maybe I need a few embarresments along the way to kick me in the more than ample rear end.
I do have to say, there is not much to eat when you are limited to only 30 carbs per day!!! omgosh you would not believe how many carbs foods have. Even iceburg lettuce has some carbs. Tonight I desperately wanted to eat out. It is hard, so we hit up the Ruby Tuesday salad bar. Two nice salad plates later, I felt full for the first time in a week, and hd only consumed about 10 carbs. I came home and had strawberries and cool whip for dessert...4 large berries and a few tablespoons of the whip are only 7 carbs. Still a lot when you only have 30 but I desperately wanted something 'comfort food' like.
I miss carbs and i realize I am an addict, but I will work on it...slowly but surely. I wonder if the 12 steps would help. I wonder if there is group for carb addicts. I mean I am going through regular DT's. I am shakey and grumpy and on occasion sweaty, and man do I lash out at people.
Okay, something I have learned, and am saying to alex alot these past few days. You arent hungry, you are bored. It is amazing now that I am on this journey and in such distress that I see it,and can see him going down the same road. Granted, he is 7 but he cant be hungry as much and as often as he claims. I dont want this for him. or you....any of you on this list. Remember, sometimes you arent hungry...just bored.
