FOLLOW THE RULES! While in most every other part of my life I am a rule follower, when it comes to food I am a rule breaker. Weight has always been an issue and but for a few brief moments in 1983, and the early 1990's, I have been over-weight. I lost weight then by cheating. I would eat everything in sight and throw it all up. I just loved food. That gets old; I got old(er). And though I haven't purged for about 20 years, the food binger still lives in me.
So when I got the lap bad, my cheater mind set was still there. Long before I got the procedure, I knew the rules. Only fluids two days after a fill, soft foods two more days, protien first, stay away from starch and sticky foods, 1/2 cup of food or so, small bites, no soda, no straws, nickle size bites..... I KNOW the rules. But following them is another matter for a die hard cheater.
My name is Wendy Mays - I am a cheater. But, I have resolved to follow the rules and I am deteremined for success. I have my tools. I have the foods I need in the house. The small plates I am going to use for meals, the drinks I am going to drink instead of Diet Pepsi. And now I have a place to be accountable! Woo hoo. I'm excited.
My goal? To be able to fit into a regular sized Tahari suit. Can't wait!
