First "stuck"?

[txsonicguy 262]

Pretty sure I had my first - albeit minor - stuck episode. My 5 year old and I I stopped for happy meals. I apparently reverted to my post band ways and was eating fries way too fast. Happy meals now only come with like 8 French fries so I'm not sure where I thought my fries would go.

Anyway, about half way through the little carton I started to feel a tightening and pressure like I couldn't swallow. I figured it was either being stuck or it was "the big one".

A couple of minutes of stretching and breathing deeply and I felt like it slid down. Not positive because Im still a newbie, but I'm assuming.

No more fries for this dad. It was a horrible feeling.

Take it as a learning experience. Old habits die hard and sometimes it takes something like this to remind us to stick to our new eating patterns.

For whatever reason, fries do not do well with me. I just quit eating them altogether which is a good thing! I have problems with very few foods but that is one of them.

I can only eat fries if they're soft. On the rare occasions I have them, I pick through and only eat the soft mushy ones.

Funny thing, I can only eat fries if they are really well done! Goes to show how different we all are! I can't eat very many any more-thankfully I guess because they were always a challenge for me to limit the amount.
