Your Favorite Treat!



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering what everyone's little indulgences were. Not food wise, but to reward yourself for maybe a couple pounds lost, or even just to cheer yourself up on a rainy Sunday. It could even be things you use at home to distract yourself so you don't think of food.

Mine are: A Venti Tazo Tea with Skim Milk, Honey, and Splenda from Starbucks or Getting my nails done.

I don't have any great distractions. I definitely think of food less when I'm out of the house. But sometimes I'll ride my exercise bike and if I hit my goal, I'll go get a tea!

I used to spend a fortune on magazines, but when I got hooked on Pinterest.com , I didn't need the magazines at all, as Pinterest covers all of my interests, ( recipes, health and fitness, home decor, women's fashion, etc). But every once in awhile I'll indulge myself and buy a new magazine. Usually a Womens Running or Instyle. That and a cup of of hot tea and Im good !

My favorite gift to myself is riding horses and scuba diving.

For milestones or goals met it is personal indulgences for me. Pedicure, massage, new piece of exercise clothing or socks, etc

For the everyday occupying my time and something to do to distract myself is usually some form of exercise or household organizing. There is always something around the house in need of some desperate attention with 2 boys and a husband. ;)

A foot massage from a local spa. Thirty bucks for forty minutes of bliss.

My favorite treat to do at home to distract myself from eating or snacking in the evenings is to give myself a manicure/pedi. It is hard to snack when your nail polish is drying. I also do face masks in the evening too. This way my nails always look perfect and my skin benefits too!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
