Unforgettable 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Since surgery, I've been nice and safe in my apartment with all of my good-choice food by my side, no temptations in sight. Today I ventured outside of my bubble and ran some errands with my mom. Finally she said she was so starving and she was going to go through the White Castle drive thru, although she said if it was too hard for me she wouldn't do it. I told her to go ahead and do it. But maaaaaan was it hard to be in a car for the 7 minute drive home filled with that amazing smell, and then go home and sit with her while she eats her delicious deliciousness and I'm finishing one of my last days of puree diet lol Although it was a great feeling to pass up that temptation, very proud of myself. What kind of temptations have you been faced? Has your family and friends been "careful" about what they eat around you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyChandler 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Okay...I think I just might win the tempation test!!! My parents had a big anniversary last Friday and I planned an amazing dinner for 30+ family and friends at my favorite restaurant. First came the appetizers...hot cheesy spinach artichoke dip and fried green tomatoes dripping with some kind of white cheese filling...then the main courses, shrimp and grits, pork medallians, braised salmon, and spaghetti....then homemade sweet potato pie with whipped cream...just shoot me...lol. I had a very nice thank you very much bowl of Tomato Soup. Was is worth it? Absolutely, I found out I can go out with a big group and have a ball with absolutely no alcohol or high fat goodies. Also, today I found out I've lost 17 lbs in two weeks...I am proud of me!!! Tracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbiezhere 0 Posted July 24, 2009 What kind of temptations have you been faced? Has your family and friends been "careful" about what they eat around you? I have my challenge this Saturday---also my parents 60th anniversary. We arranged a party bus/limo and we're going on a 3 hour dinner cruise. The cruise does not serve Soup of any type (im startign 3 weeks post op) so i actually have to bring my own soup and bowl! Granted, the charged me the childrens price ($50!) and i'll have them pack up my food for my other daughter who is staying home...but it will be a night of food and drinks..and I'll be there sipping whatever soup i bring!!!
