Well, Thursday is over officially now...

I made my Water intake, with some to spare...5 liters (165oz), but went over on calories when I had 12 chicken wings for dinner. I logged everything, but I can't seem to come up with a definitive way to log the wings, I estimated each wing to have one ounce of meat for now. I will try and figure something out for those later (if anyone wants to help, these were small wings and drums broiled only and salted to taste). I will post my goal for tomorrow in the morning.

My challenge for Friday is to not ask my son for a bite of his carryout food, which is what I do so that I don't have to get a meal but still get the satisfaction of just having a very small taste. Friday is usually the day I don't really cook so we shall see. Also, ride my elliptical for a minimum of 20 minutes.

ACK!!!!

Birthday in the office.

Ok, this is going to be tough...we are a small office and there will be CAKE!

I will not eat cake

I will not partake in the eating of take out food of any kind (my pre-measured meal is just as good as the pizza or chinese food they will order).

I definitely won't eat any of the GIANT BOX OF candy that just arrived...people are cruel.

I will drink my Water.

I will walk, walk, walk and then walk some more.

More Protein....less carbs nuff said.

OK...I held my own through lunch (I ordered the lunch for everyone) and since it was single Desserts just ordered one less. I ate my delicious carefully measured Peanut Butter on pita and ignored their mexican food. I even sat quietly while they ate THEIR CAKE IN FRONT OF ME...CAKE..I LOVE CAKE. The hardest part was they realized there was one less piece and all started offering me their cake, parts of their cake...it was like some weird torture. I passed on the cake (Delicious brownie cake with chocolate frosting, whipping cream and some kind of hot melted fudgey center) and instead had a nice Jello pudding cup.

503-250...well done you! It must have been the hardest thing to resist a cake like that and so :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: very, very, well done!

I completed my challenge for today. Water and exercise was fine. I didn't go to Mother in laws for lunch so avoided the fries...but we went out as a family for dinner to a souvlaki place. I didn't touch a thing (I'd eaten tuna before we left) and just drank my water. I don't have a problem with others eating and I can't but this is one of my favourite Greek foods and the smell of the food was killing me. Still, I did it! No more outings planned for a while - phew!

Challenges for Saturday are about the same...water, exercise and food choices. Am staying home so 'should' be easy enough.

Goal to measure portions- thumbs down

Goal to spread drinking liquids out through day- thumbs up

So I'm 50/50.

Tomorrow- no Weight Watchers Sherbert and Ice Cream bars (I can't stop at one) and measure portions!

I managed to meet all my goals and act like a sensible human for the day, despite the evil chocolate taunting.

As far as ice cream...try the popsicle brand popsicles. 20 calories for the lifesavers style ones...just had two for dessert.

I still need to bring up my Protein levels, so that's this weekends goal. I am going to the aquarium with packed measured lunch and I will be walking all day.

Congratulations goal makers....keep up the hard work.

The week is gonna start out the same but I want to add no peeking at the scale which is easy some days and real difficult others.

I med goals 1, 2, and 4, but did not get to #3 before my company came.

Didn't have goals for today as the site was down -

I made tuna salad earlier this morning. I had a shake when I got up and then some tuna salad before I went running errands and then I had some more a little while ago. It was SO good! Although I feel like I probably ate too much. I'm not miserable, I just thought I went past satisfied and into the "full" zone.

I go back to work tomorrow, so my daily goals while at work will be:

1) Drink lots of Water

2) Get up and walk around the halls more

3) Take the treck down to the main office once a day to check my mail

4) Only have a snack if I am REALLY hungry.

      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.
