Weekends at home are HARD!
So, as you know, I am less than a week away from my laproscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery and am still on the liquid only diet of Slim Fast High Protein shakes. I'm still not a fan of the taste, but it has gotten easier.
Monday through Friday is no problem. I have my shakes while I'm at work where I am busy and don't really have time to think about how hungry I am and how much I miss actual food. However, weekends are torture!!
For example, after church on Sunday, I thought I would catch up on my DVR. Since this week is the Fall Premier week, I was super excited!! I have so missed Modern Family, Hawaii Five-O, and Morgan from Criminal Minds!! Anyway, back on to my point. It simply amazes me how many commercials there are for food! No wonder Americans are becoming more and more obese!! Good gosh, people! Every single three minute break features at least two commercials for Wendy's, Applebees and a number of other restaurants. Food is everywhere! That's all we see!! Thank goodness it was recorded and I quickly skipped over them and their temptions.
But the torture doesn't stop there. Oh no! I swear everything I watched featured somebody eating something! Seriously?! Has it always been like this or do they somehow know that I can't have food now?! Prime example: Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I swear, every single second, either Kris, Kim or Khloe were eating the biggest salad ever known to man. I'd kill for a salad right now!!
You'd think that would be all the torture I had to endure, right? Nope. Even the radio people are out to test my limits! I assure you, ten days ago, I would not have ever noticed all the advertising for food on the radio waves. Oh, but it's there! Sonic is the worst!
Fortunately, I was strong and didn't sway from my diet at all. I want to make certain that my liver has shrunk for surgery in FOUR days!! Speaking of shrinking, did you notice the ticker at the top? Just last week alone, I lost 9.4 pounds!! This Slim Fast Shake only diet really is working!
Happy Monday everyone!!
Just for kicks, here is a picture of me with my little cousin who happend to win Homecoming Queen at Friday night's football game. I hope to look like a different person next year when she crowns the new Queen.
