Woeful Weigh in Wednesday

 

+2.4 pounds since last Thursday

I considered not weighing in today because I was so upset with myself, but in the interest of accountability, here I am anyway.

What did I do wrong?  Well, Friday I went to the grocery store and bought a gallon of ice cream (1/2 gallon of birthday cake and 1/2 gallon of Thin Mint).  I ended up turning them upside down in the sink when I realized I couldn't stop myself, but I'd probably already gone too far.  I didn't even like the thin mint flavor (although it is my favorite girl scout cookie) but I kept eating it anyway.  Reminder of why I got the band.

This will be a better week.

I have officially canceled tomorrow's fill appointment and rescheduled for July 11.  This really could be a very long month.  I hope I've made the right choice.  Aside from my weekend ice cream, my food choices really have been very good.

      On good days, I plan all of my meals/snacks in the morning. And I'm good at sticking to them. Today was one of those good days. Ice cream is a bad spot for me, and I'm going to eat ice cream from time to time, so I wont lie to myself and say I wont.

      In the future, I will buy those tiny ben & jerry's single servings that come with a tiny spoon. It is enough to satisfy without killing my whole day!

      I try to stick with the little ones too! The tiny Skinny Cow portions. I can have them in the freezer for the days I feel like I "need" ice cream, but can't really do any more damage than 180 calories.

      Good for you for posting the weigh-in! The last time I had a bad one, I delayed weigh-in day for two days to fix it, because I'm a baby.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
