Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got up early,took some Tylenol, and was off doing errands. How liberating to feel independent again. I am definitely not getting the coddling and attn from DH as I would like. He is helpful if I ask, but I am still up doing dishes and the like since no one else in this house seems to mind if this place turns into a rat's nest. It drives me batty. And now he has a cold which sucks, but I swear if I am sick, he is sicker. Is it a guy thing? I actually thought I would be waited on a bit. Not that I need to be, it just would be nice to be nursed like my mom would have. Okay..enough pity party for me.

I had a couple of weird chewing incidents yesterday. I chewed 3 cheezits and spit them in the trash. then a piece of chicken. How gross. I am not proud of my crazy behavior. Iwas just desperate for something of substance in my mouth. I am over it though and will try not to do that again. The last thing I need is to have some eating disorder where I start chewing and spitting..not to mention, it is just no fun when you can't swallow the food.

My banded friend came to visit last night and brought some shakes for me to try. I am looking forward to having them this morning! She made me feel good since she said I didn't look like i had sx 4 days ago. That was nice. I actually feel so much better than I could have ever dreamed!

I went to WW yesterday on a whim since I missed my meeting on Tuesday. I was down 7 pounds! I felt a bit fraudulent, because I know I havethe unfair advantage of having had sx. Whatever-this is about me. I need to lose this weight by whatever means necessary without hurting my body. I don't feel like I need to be going to WW right now, but my membership is paid for until the end of January. By that point I will be on some regular food and that iswhen I think I will need the accountability since I will still have to make good food choices. It helps me to keep ontrack and journal what I am eating.

Looking forward to havinga good, productive day. And tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Exciting. This is my last fat Christmas! I already feel so much more attractive down 25 pounds than I did a few months ago. Yay me.

Check in later.
