Now, we had company this weekend (one on my husband's USNA college roommates). Off topic, there is something about academy living that forges remarkable life-long friendships and Steve has the most amazingly close-knit group of friends. I think it has something to do with sharing the agony of Plebe Summer. But I digress.... So, guy-company means pizza and beer and wings and things, not even food that I'm overly fond of. But, alas, I chose to enjoy some leftovers when I wasn't even hungry. I ate too much on Saturday and Sunday, including pizza, carne asada, cookies and ice cream, but don't know what the damage is, scale-wise. I see my surgeon two weeks from today, and it's kind of a big deal to me to show a decent loss each month. I think I want him to be proud of me, as weird as that sounds. Failure is not an option, so I need to stay focused these next two weeks, so I'll get a big 'atta girl' hug from Dr. B!

I am the same way with my surgeon! I think it is because he said in the beginning that the lap band was not easy and he tends to lean towards gastric bypass. So, I am out to prove him wrong!
ReplyDeleteYou know, the occasional splurge here and there I really think has *helped* my progress, believe it or not. I tend to post my biggest losses right after I splurge, then hit the ground running to get back on track. So I wouldn't worry too much about it, at 80 lbs down how could your surgeon be anything but unbelievably proud??
ReplyDeleteAlso: Two thumbs up for the wedding dress seduction fantasy! =)
Two weeks is plenty of time. I'm sure you'll wow your surgeon. Congrats on great weight loss so far.
