Sunday, Jul 11 2010 - surgery went fine
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
Surgery went fine. I'm sitting here typing one handed and watching tav with my hubby on my little MacBook. Now I see why my kids like the wireless internet so much. I really didn't want to watch this movie, but hubby likes me in the room with him. So, now I can read CK and be by his side at the same time.
I went on this eating rampage after surgery, and forgot to sit down and ask myself why ? Why was I in food munchie anxiety mode so great after surgery ? The best I could come up with was I so relieved the surgery was over that I relieved my anxiety the way thw old me used too,through eating. I had had such great food victories up till then. The one thing I learned is not to use sickness, surgeries, or illnesses as reasons to " Treat " myself to foods that I normally don't buy for myself. Yep, that's what I did and won't be doing any more. Now that second mistake was one that I knew not to do, but did any way thinking I could control myself. Ha, under the the stress of an operation...what was I thinking. This is a good point. Never trust yourself to be perfect or to have that great self control. Just don't bring tempting food into the house or look toward that desert table at church. I don't every go near that desert table anymore or down the cookie aisle of the grocery store anymore. At least for me it works this way not to let temptation near.

Realizing what the issue really was is half the battle. I am so glad you are feeling better, you will be typing with two hands before you know it
