Well i survived my first week of my pre-op liquid diet!!!!!YEAH ME!! Nobody is dead, missing limbs and most importantly i'm not in jail!!! LOL! I have officially lost 11.2 pounds that i will NEVER see again in my life!!!Thank you Jesus! I told a friend of mine about how much weight I lost and she actually said see you dont need that surgery! REALLY! And who can live on liquids for the rest of their life! anyway I have had my temptations, but nothing was able to knock me out for the count! I'm soooo shocked and know that it was God that has given my this determination. I've gone to the grocery store when i was "hungry" and had another event that would cause me to eat "emotionally" and i didnt. So I'm here to offer encouragement to other's on this part of their journey or have it coming one day. WE CAN DO THIS! If you find yourself being tempted and you're near your compter get on LBT and go thru the before/after pics to remind yourself what you are working on! If you're not near the computer I found that if I could distract myself for about 10 minutes then the desire to eat would go away. I found out this past week that I only had hunger pains once(last night), all the other times if my stomach growled and I drank something I was fine. I figured out how many times I was just eating in the past cuz I thought I was hungry, it was time, i was bored or hell the sun was shining! I am learning to eat when my body needs it, not when my mind or eyes say eat.

 

 

Wishing everyone has a good week! 4 more days and i'm a bandit!!!!:D

Stay focused, it seems like you have a pretty good handle on things. I wish I could say the same thing for myself. It has been extremely hard, it seems like I am always hungry. I think it's time that I seek support, I do better when I have the ACCOUNTABILITY factor working. Maybe I can take some notes from you :)

awwwww thanks everyone for your encouraging words! it means soooooo much to me! gosh i love your guys and have never met you! LOL! i love this forum, it definetly helps keep me accountable. I stated in the beginning that i would share the good bad and ugly and i meant just that. That is part of what keeps me going is I dont want to have to come back here and say ooops i slipped. Now i'm not gonna put any undue pressure on myself and i will be honesty, but this does help keep me in line. Thanks everyone for checking on me. Wow it's Tues!!!!! 3 more days!!!
