Happy New Year everyone! Whew….the holidays are over so now we can stop be tempted (tortured?) by all the goodies that are within arm’s reach of us during this time of decadent consumption and get down to the business of healthy eating!
All in all, it really wasn’t all that bad for me I have to admit. I am now 9 weeks post op and still eating so little that having a sweet once in a while seems so minor; I know I can’t overeat anything; my tummy won’t let me. Plus, I’m just not interested in all that stuff anymore. My mind thinks I am for a moment, but as soon as I taste a soft cookie, bread, or cake, I realize it’s not as good as I remembered, so one bite is enough. YEAH! I think this is a good thing. So even though I had gained 3 lbs somehow; that 3 lbs is now gone.
But my weighing is just not consistent; my scale is possessed; (it doesn’t help that I pack and upack it in my suit case). We went to the gym twice and had a beautiful walk with the Alps as a backdrop (photo above). The scale at the gym showed me at 170 lbs but I’m not going to obsess about it; I feel I am going in the right direction. The point is, I made it through the holidays for the first time in my life and did not gain weight!!!! Wow.
