Holiday Recovery

I hope you all had a good Easter! I was running around so much getting ready for it that I had no time for snacking or chai lattes. By Sunday morning, I was down another two pounds from Friday weigh-in! But Easter festivities (and leftovers) took care of that. SOMEONE GET THIS JUNK OUT OF MY HOUSE.

I asked my husband this morning if he minded if I brought the leftover pies (oh yes, plural) into work. He didn't understand why I wanted to get rid of them so fast. Dude. You're the one who drove me to lap band surgery. Considering how I never shut up about it, I'm mystified how he could forget that I'm a calorie counting fool and - do you KNOW how many calories are in a slice of apple pie? And that's not even counting the Blue Bell ice cream that you just have to put on top.

So, this morning I wrapped up one slice of pie (that he'd better eat tonight and not leave it there taunting me) and brought the rest of the pies and leftover rolls into the office so the breakroom vultures can go to town. I'm on my second giant cup of water and it is back on track time.

I have an adjustment appointment tomorrow morning. I'm paralyzed with indecision over whether to get a fill. I feel like I could be less hungry and maybe need to snack less (though I usually make good, protein friendly choices). But I loathe the idea of getting stuck more easily, or not being able to eat the occasional small servings of bread and pasta. I'm a Libra, so balance is vital to my life. And no, I'm not really a crazy lady. I just sound that way.

  1. well just by getting a fill doesn't mean you will get stuck more if you decide to make more of an effort to eat smaller bites..chew and take a break between each bite....you got this!

    1. Yeah, it's just been my experience so far that every fill means getting stuck more easily. But part of that has got to be that I've just previously been able to take larger bites.

  2. I work with a bunch of people that are all too happy to take my leftover sweets off my hands! Good thing because I love to bake.

    1. It's handy, isn't it? I work with some people who will eat ANYTHING as long as it's free. Scavengers.

  3. I don't think you are crazy, I really understand your confusion. I hope you can feel at ease with whatever you decide. My husband just bought about 3 jars of salt and vinegar pringles and I wanted to throttle him (I'm more about salty than sweet.) Btw, I'm a new follower. http://stayinginthepink.blogspot.com/ I cracked up at your "dude, you drove me to have lap band surgery!" lol :-D
