All of my orders have arrived. Kind of like a late Christmas. Now what to do with it all. I started to poke around in the cabinets in the kitchen. I've got a lot of junk. Every flavor of pudding and Jello I like, boxed mac & cheese, six shapes of pasta, a bunch of sauces and marinades that looked good in the store , three boxes of swiss-miss cocoa, a few cans of nuts, and tons of other stuff I would really like to munch/snack on. Every door held another taboo food. This is not good. No matter where I put all my new food (protein drinks) next to it will be something more tasty. It's all got to go.

My husband walked in on me tossing his chocolate covered cashews in the overflowing Hefty bag. Not good. Just because I have no willpower doesn't mean he can't pick a snack out of his kitchen. So I compromised and through out all my old bad stuff, put his stuff back and cleaned out one cabinet for all my new stuff .

I've been working on not drinking with meals and eating at regular intervals (thanks to my nifty new watch). I've having a protein drink each morning for breakfast and sometimes lunch if I 'm really busy. The weather here is quite cold, I'm busy and I haven't been getting any exercise. It's just hard to move this big body around. Differently something I have to work on.

Great first step. Removing those trigger foods from your "fingertips" should help a great deal!

That's something I've been thinking about myself, those yummy treats in the recesses of my pantry. Then I decided, once I've got my final yes on the surgery, what I'm going to do is donate anything unopened to my local food shelter. Surely there's a lot that can be redistributed to the ones that really need it. And the rest that has been opened, trash can. Just a thought to where the extra could go to.

I sent all the extras with my husband to the firehouse. Those guys will eat anything.
