PJkitty 139 Posted August 30, 2013 I went to McDonalds last night with my hubby and our four kids for dinner since we had to go to my oldest kids open house at school. I was feeling slightly worried that I would see them eating their burgers, nuggets and fries and it would make me sad. I ordered an unsweetened tea and a fruit and yogurt parfait. I didn't eat the blueberries and mushed the heck out of the strawberries. I know that the yogurt isn't fat free or anything but I felt so proud if myself that I was completely ok with what I was eating and did not even contemplate trying to mush up a French fry in my mouth to eat one. I took my time and finished my yogurt at the same time as everyone else was finishing their food. I left with my unsweetened tea in my hand and felt so proud of myself. I am only 11days out but to me that was a big accomplishment. One thing I was afraid of is going out to eat and not being able to eat what the rest of my family was eating and feeling left out. I'm so happy I didn't feel this way even with my husband sitting right in front of me eating a double quarter pounder and fries lol. It's the small things like this that will keep me happy and motivated to reach my goal....I am so happy I found this place to share these things with with people who understand these small things. You guys rock!!!! 5 dylanmiles23, jfc193, drehn88 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotButterFly 981 Posted September 2, 2013 Yeyyyyy!! CONGRATZ! The first few weeks post op hubby didn't want me going with them to the pizzeria.... I was like: "I'm good, lets go" We went and I had NO desire to eat what THEY were having.... And I was actually hungry while they ate. They finished, we went home and I made egg drop Soup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
