Just heard myself saying ...

[Ankaas]

Hi guys I've just come home from work (half day on Fridays) in my uniform and hubby says wanna go out for lunch. Normally this sends me into a state of panic thinking oh no ill have to change out of my trusty old uniform, oh no thats my diet up in the air, what will I have, oh well it's Friday, sure why not, leading to me feeling that my "diet" for the week is over -irrational I know - BUT to day I heard myself say yep great I can have soup, hang on I'll just get changed! Might not seem a big deal to some people bit it's a major thing to me. My clothes are definitely looser and more comfy. I'm feeling more confident and I love it. Weigh in tomorrow so I'll let you know what the scales say. Hopefully they will be well down. Xxxx . So happy

What a nice feeling of empowerment. You control the food and not the other way around and so you can relax and enjoy stuff.
I went shopping today at the supermarket which is usually fraught with temptation...but not today. That was a huge change for me and I thought I might have felt sad about not being able to eat all the yummy food but it was the other way around... it felt great that I couldn't eat so much of it.

Good luck with your weigh-in xx

I know exactly what you mean! Before op I thought it was going to be like temptation and dread and all the horrors of deprivation (ha ha I obviously never deprived myself of anything) like being on a diet but your right it's great that I don't want the same quantities of food and I'm in control. Praise the lord YEE HA lol

I had a lovely lunch Sarah - just soup but it was sooo tasty. Theres a lovely farm shop I love to go to and they have a gorge cafe. I kept thinking about the "damage" I could have done in my former life and how weird it was that I was more than happy with the soup. Amazing - I'm still in disbelief that I'm coping so well and the band is working so well. Xx
