Temptations

So, this is the part I was dreading. Yesterday I faced my first temptation and I succeeded!! We were going to head to the farmer's market, but it was too busy for me to tackle alone with the girls. So, E asked if we could go get a McFlurry for her and her sister her treat. I said sure. When I passed the McFlurry and milkshake to the back of the car I was soooo tempted to just take one sip or bite. I held back and drank my bottled water instead, yup I said a bottled water not my large Coke or Diet Coke that the Momma Fatty used to always have when we went to McDonald's. I was proud of myself. 


Today I faced another set of temptations. The girls and I treated ourselves to dinner at our favorite local restaurant, North Bend Bar and Grill. My usual fatty order from there would have been a Coke or two or three or four, an order of buffalo wings, and a bacon cheeseburger on a yummy roll with either steak fries or homemade potato chips. I found a way to make the meal semi-healthy and low carb. I asked for lemon to add to my water. Then I got the buffalo wings which E had half and then I shared my 3 with the little one, I also did not use as much blue cheese dressing as normal. For my meal I did get the bacon cheese burger with no dressing and I took the roll off and ate the meat alone. Lastly, I replaced my fried side with a spring mix salad. 


These temptations were not as hard as I was dreading. I am excited that I was able to reach them so early out and that I was able to overcome them. Here is to the next 2 weeks of pre op then 3 weeks of post op!!

It is our desire to share our story and hopefully inspire others to make a difference to become healther!
