I love my surgeon!
How many surgeons can you go out to eat with? Who will sit down to a meal with his patients? Awesome! We had a patient reunion yesterday, and it was great! It was awesome to talk to someone considering surgery, to someone who had her surgery a week ago, to ones over a year out [...]
Friday P&C
Con:Paid a warrant from a speeding ticket I never paid. So, im broke.Ive got two papers due in about two weeks.Um, Im eating junk food. I should stop that, its not that good.Im addicted to sodas again. Pro:Im finally at 260! That means I have lost 60 pounds, I have 100 left to go! (Though, [...]
"Ideal Types"
Sociology geek time! :-) There is a concept in sociology called the “ideal type.” This is the perfectly idealized version of something. I think I have that when it comes to food cravings. I crave the ideal version of something, the perfect bite. But when I come to actually eat the food I want, its [...]
Hunger
Since my friend asked, and its a good question, i’ll cover it here :-) I dont really get hungry. I’ll get head hunger sometimes, but I dont get the gut wrenching hunger that I did before. How I usually know that im hungry is I get irritable, or start fantasizing about food, or get light [...]
Confessions
My confession for the day: I don’t track my foods. I’m sure I’ll start doing this around my 6 month stall. (Note: Most people stall around 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, etc). But, I don’t think an emphasis on counting calories, fat grams, carbs, etc is necessarily healthy long term. I do [...]
Bleh
So, I lost 7 pounds over the last week. (Apparently, walking does help! Who knew? :-) If only I lived in a city where walking was appropriate to get around, instead of people staring at walkers going to outlying areas. Or, maybe thats my paranoia.) When I started Weight Watchers the last time, I lost [...]
Eggs
Mmm, I just made my first egg quiche thing. Just an egg, garlic salt, pepper, and cheese. I might have to check out the things that Michelle adds to her “bites” to try to make single size versions. I could almost eat the entire thing (there are probably two large bites, or four WLS bites [...]
Walking
I can walk a mile. I would have never had done this before. But, the first day here in Vegas, I walked about two miles. Last night, when making a decision to either walk or take the bus, I walked. About a mile (but I stayed to watch the fountain show) in about 30 minutes. [...]
Body Stuff
I dont know why, but while I like other people commenting on my weight loss, im getting weird internal reactions to phrases like “next time I see you, you will be skinny.” Or anything that talks about my future weight loss. Its annoying. I love the “you look great” comments, probably because I dont see [...]
Argh! Jeans!
So, I am leaving Friday on Vacation. Orlando for 4 days, Vegas for 5. My friend gave me some 22s to bring, because I only have one pair of jeans. Despite all of these jeans being 22s, none of them fit :-( Her size 20 black shiny pants? Fits, perfectly. Damn you clothing makers! Hopefully, [...]
