Only overweight and hit Onederland

[Foxbins 625]

I was so happy this morning, I have been at 200 lbs. for the past 3 days. Yesterday I gave blood (a pint's a pound, but yesterday was my 22nd pint over the past 10 years here in California) and drank tons of Water to make up for the Fluid loss. They make you stay 15 minutes after you donate in case you start feeling unwell, and there are Cookies and juice besides Water. I had a water and took a package of snack-size Oreos. They were my first Cookies since...Christmas, maybe? Anyway, I ate a cookie, looked that the other three in the package, and threw the rest away. They didn't taste all that good and I didn't feel like I needed to eat them all. I drank my water and I was fine. Now, before surgery, I would have eaten two packages, taken one for the road, and had juice instead of water to drink.

Tomorrow I may wake up at 199.5, but for today I am really happy to know that I can continue to give blood without feeling crappy and that I can resist the Snacks...oh, and today I went to a training for work and ignored the donuts in the morning and the cookies in the afternoon. I am not hungry and so grateful that surgery did that for me.

Awesome job ... congrats on passing up the rest of the Cookies. You've got some great willpower there!
