No cake...No biscuit

I used to eat chips GALORE!

I eat a fraction of what I used to. This band offers me so much more control over what goes in my mouth. It feels good to quit eating when everyone else is still chowin down.

I'm always concerned that I will fill up on those chips, and God knows, those chips are NOT the reason i'm up in that Mexican Restaurant. For some reason I CRAVE mexican food since my banding. I find myself in our local El Burrito at least twice a week! Last week it was three times! I don't plan on doin that one again because of how yucky I felt afterwards. I've been eating salad (when I can eat) for two days trying to clean myself out. Sounds yucky but tis the truth.

Thank you ladies for bein dear angels tonight. I feel better already!

Lolove Lisa

Lisa, I love Mexican food too. One of the "trials" of living in Texas. LOL! Have you tried getting a shrimp brichoette appetizer? It is grilled shrimp wrapped in bacon, stuffed w/jalepeno and cheese. I usually try not to eat the bacon. Papasito's has a wonderful "Campfire grilled shrimp & fajita plate. It's more than enough for two! Since I've become such a "cheap date", I can order a more expensive meal and split it w/ my husband. So glad that you're feeling better! You can do this girl! We'll be here when you need to vent.

I'll have to try the shrimp, Papasitos is THE BEST place to eat mexican.

I read your post on that 25 mi. bike run! Wow! I'm curios dos'nt that seat hurt your bottom? It does mine.

Yes, Lisa, that bike seat does hurt my tiny little bottom (LOL) I put a gel seat on it and that helps a little bit. I guess it's because I lost so much (wish) off my tush I have to stand up several times to unnumb my tush. But it really is a lot of fun and makes you feel like you're really doing something productive (whether you are or not). Try adding a gel seat cover to your current seat. It will help a lot!
