B-52 7,113 Posted December 26, 2012 Glad the holidays are past.... Christmas Eve is the big event for our family....we all get together, everyone brings food....and booze... I filled a plate with a taste of everything....I was hardly able to do even that..all that good food, but there was nothing that was band friendly...I started to feel stuck very early on.... What I did do was graze all evening...all those appetizers sitting around...everything from Cookies to delicious Italian Deli Trays...ALL NIGHT! Sugars, salt, oils and fat! And I must have finished at least one bottle of wine myself, at least one bottle..... Not to mention, everyone got in the mood to have toasts with bottles of Scotch and Tenn. Whiskey! Everyone who received a bottle as a gift (including me) felt they needed to open it and pour everyone a glass and have a toast!! Just when you think it's time to go home to bed, eight of us went to the movies for a 11pm showing of Les Miserables! What a LONG movie, I'm NOT a young and crazy guy anymore! After that it was Christmas Morning, be it 4am, and it shortly started all over again with a HUGE Breakfast with EVERYTHING! And I have not eaten breakfast in 18 months! Just the way it is for me due to the band.... But that's another story... I don't fear gaining weight anymore...(and I did not) .....that's all behind me because I have had corrective surgery.......I now live and act the same as a regular weight person does... It's just that I ate CRAP for 36 straight hours..POISON....I can feel it deep in my core....almost a trembling.... NEED to get to the gym and sweat all these toxins out of my system......but good Going to do my 5 miles of running, and then some...with plenty, and I mean plenty... of Water.... So, it is 5 am and I am walking out the door and heading to the gym as soon as I finish this...... 4 ValAnn, Lori4080, ☠carolinagirl☠ and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted December 26, 2012 But the difference in pre band and post band is although we can have days like this...but they do not last. As you are feeling today you will get moving, sweat it out, go back to healthy band sizes portions and end the cycle. Whereas pre band.... today would be another day of heavy eating and the cycle continued..and we got fatter and fatter. Great job!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
