Ok, I have to confess :'( I did eat a few things I shouldn't (a few small bites here and there).
However, it was really funny sitting at the dinner table during the Turkey Day meal. After I was finished eating, I sat around looking at others' plates overfilled with food, and I thought about my own plate. It had a little scoop of cornbread stuffing, a small slice of turkey, a couple pieces of broccoli, and a little scoop of peas. All of which I wasn't quite able to finish. I actually overate a little b/c I was trying to at least eat my broccoli after eating the turkey and stuffing. I was very amused by the differences between my plate of food and everyone elses plates of food. I also started thinking how I used to do the very same thing. Just the thought of eating that much food makes me feel nauseated now.
My greatest downfall was the Cheesecake made with Splenda (that I made earlier this week). I finally made myself try it (I was scared to try it b/c I thought it wouldn't taste as good). Well, let me tell you, it was FABULOUS! It tasted just like regular cheesecake. I also made a stawberry sauce with Splenda to put on top of the cheesecake, and it also tasted great. When it is cold, it tastes like strawberry jam. Eventhough, I did cheat some this week, I at least wasn't able to eat as much as I would have w/o this surgery :-D
Another confession: I've only exercised 2 days this week :-( I had very good intentions of exercising yesterday and today, but both days it was almost bed time before I realized I hadn't exercised. At which point I had absolutely no inclination do so. I'm REALLY going to try better tomorrow!
Ok, glad I got that all off my chest *LOL*
My 4-month anniversary is in 2 days :-D |
