Getting Back on Track
I have been sent an angel, and her name is Mary (rather appropriate, huh?)
She is one of the editors on BellaOnline.com with me and she has also gone through gastric bypass. Except she has done tremendously well and has fantastic advice. We e-mailed back and forth several times last night. Her advice made so much sense and she has such a great sense of humor I told her "You are my new accountability partner!"
And she said "let's do it" and immediately asked me what I was having for dinner, LOL!
So I am not going to let her down. This morning I woke up and had my Earl Grey tea as usual with sugar in it without thinking about it - and cringed when it hit me (after I finished the cup). So I am now having a protein shake for breakfast. I haven't had a protein shake in almost a year.
I will get back on track.
Gastric Bypass is a tool, and unless I use it correctly - it can't work. It is kind of like using a wrench to bang in a nail. You get *some* results but not nearly the ones you could achieve if you had used a hammer.
So it is back to the hammer y'all!
Oh - and I have a couple of goals to work towards; an awesome costume ball on Nov 6th and a gathering of lots of old friends around Christmas who will be flying in for the holidays. I may not be a size 10 by then - but I can at least NOT be a size 20.
