What did you eat tonight in honor of Cinco de Mayo



Recommended Posts

chicken tacos (I passed on the shell), with spinach and cheese and Frijoles Refritos in my house. Enough left overs for my lunches for the week.

Nothing to do with Cinco De mayo. It is my 43rd anniversary. We did not realize that everyone would help us celebrate! Back bb(before banding), we used to go to Mexican rest. and have a drink and eat in Maryland. I didn't feel like it this year. Drove by some her in Florida, they were crowded earlier. Back in 2011 we were in Phoenix area and went out to Celebrate with my sister and brother-in-law. The place waited for the "gringo" to leave before starting their celebrations! Hope that you all who celebrated can recover in the AM! Karen :rolleyes:

The hubs wanted to go to Moe's. I got a Joey Jr in a bowl for lunch (chicken, pintos, cheese, grilled onions and peppers, lettuce, sour cream). That was enough for lunch and dinner.< /p>

Not to be a part popper but....

I no longer use food as a reward or to "honor" anything - doing so got me over 450lbs.

Didn't even think of it! Made tacos earlier this week, watched a lot of tennis, rode my bike and had some guacamole while I cooked for my visiting tennisnplayers. Made them hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill with some Beans and rice. I had a little chicken salad!

Celebrated a tad early. Went to dinner last night and had the flautas de pollo appetizer and a cup of mexican chicken and rice Soup. There were three flautas on the plate and I had 1 1/2. They were delicious and I felt so good that I didn't finish them all. In fact, I went out to eat Tuesday night as well as last night and still lost over three pounds this week.

Semantics.

Everyone has to find the way that works for them, for the rest of their lives.

1 shot of tequila :wacko:

The tequila is ok, but the salt and lemon chaser are too high in sodium for me. :o

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
