Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi everyone - today I had my first melt down since surgery (3 weeks today).My husband (God love his soul) and daughter wanted to get me out of the house so we all went shopping. We were there for hours and the family got hungery. Since I had eaten before we went and I wasn't hungery I thought nothing of it, but we went to the mall's food court. You know the kind that has all kinds of food places to pick from. I sat at the table as they went and got their food and when they got back I was sitting there crying. I'm not sure why. But for a second -just a second- I wondered what I had done and if I would ever be able to eat these things again. Than I came to my senses and realized that this kind of food got me where I am. I tried to explain to my husband that it was like holding an AA meeting in a liquor store. He still doesn't get it but he is trying. Anyway I was fine and the rest of the day was great (I bought two top 2 sizes smaller). Thanks for listening. PEGGY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Peggy It's alright we all have those moments. After my surgery about 5 weeks my husband and me went to friends far away and on the trip home we stopped at a mini mart to use the rest room and gas up. I always take the things we need, but while I was in the rest room he bought not 1 but 2 Snicker candy bars (my favorite). Then when I got in the van the smell was so strong and I had been okay until then, he was eating the 1st one and said you don't want one do you. I tried to be nice and said no I thought nice, and he asked me what's wrong with you and eat the second one. I was mad rest the 2 hours home, later he thought about it and apologized. I could of cried instead being mad I decided to sleep instead of keeping him company for the rest of the trip home. I don't think he did intentionally. Things can get to you and it's okay. Take care.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Buying the 2 sizes smaller top is totally the best revenge! After they are no longer satisfied from the food, YOU will however still have the top!! Gotta love it..I remember when I was first out ( in Aug will be 2 years for me) my exhusband made grilled chicken cutlets. As in fresh ffrom the grill...I was in hysterics because all I was eating was baby food and yougart, and the smell...oh that smell! I still remember how it took ALL my willpower not to grab them away and eat them! But you see, just as you took the high road and did what was healthy for you, we ALL have that same option!

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Peggy - Big surgery, big changes - it's OK to feel emotional about it all. I'm a former restaurant critic, and I know I'll never eat at most of those places again. But you also have to let yourself feel the upside, too. The first time I went out driving, I passed a lot of fast food drive-thrus I might have stopped in before surgery, and wondered idly if there was still anything I could eat served there. Since the answer was " no, " I felt really smug and satisfied. Even better, with the ten bucks I would have spent still in my pocket, I felt RICH!
