current weight 228
I’ve almost lost 10lbs. Huh. I don’t see where it’s coming off, though. Maybe it’s just the weight of my stomach, lord knows I could put the food away. I have to say, it is difficult watch my mother and kids eat normal food while I sit there full after a 1/3 cup of sugar free jello. Did I tell you what my menu has been?
Water with special K protein stuffs
beef broth
sugar free Jello in a variety of outstanding flavors
Exciting. I know. Around day 7/week2 I’ll be switching to full liquid diet and getting this JP drain out. What is that? Oh it’s super awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson-Pratt_drain Don’t eat before looking at that, by the way. Basically it’s a drain coming out of an incision that collects…stuff…from my insides. That’s the best definition I could come up with, so I went with it.
Do I sound kinda grumpy? I suppose I am. Eating was a huge part of my life, I admit it. I was working full time before having David in Jan 2008 so I wasn’t sitting around, watching tv with David or on the computer all day. Snacking all day and into the late evening. My biggest meal of the day was definitely dinner and it was usually whatever I liked and was relatively healthy for the kids. David still eats more vegetables than any adult I know, but I was watching my 11 year old daughter’s snacking habits mimic mine. You’d think I’d feel like a hypocrite telling her, “No you cannot have a snack,” while eating another snack myself.
She is a beautiful little girl with an adorable figure. I’d like to keep her that way.
