Spoken like a woman on a mission!

This is not your official mid-week check-in, but I thought I’d just hop on here and give you some encouragement. YOU CAN DO IT!

🙂

ZOODLES!

I’m glad your knee is doing better. Keep on keepin’ on, girlfriend!

A miracle happened. Maria or someone must have sent good weather because I awakened and it was in the 70s! It was like a dream. It’s still only in the 80s so guess where I’m going this evening? The lake!

I’ve had a fairly healthy day so far. Forced myself to pack my meals this morning (did not feel like doing it but sometimes you gotta strongarm…[Read more]

I’m in. I also find you’re sneaky and evil (in a good way) to get me to FINALLY commit to the weekly plan. Grumble Grumble Grumble.

For those of you who did the Bariatric Foodie Pledge in February, the set-up should seem familiar. But I’ve tweaked it a tiny bit!

Small fork, pick up, put down, chew, pick up, put down, chew. [but I’m a terrible offender at this]

I still carry the plastic baby spoons and forks I bought when I first had surgery to help regulate the bites. I don’t use them in public anymore, but for yogurt and snacks in my office, it helps me not inhale my food…

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Slowing down while eating in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago

Like everything else in the world…there’s an app for that! (An app that will help you time your bites.)

Do you have an iPhone or Android? I’ll post some links!

Maria A started the topic Slowing down while eating in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago

I am beginning to realize that I have started slowly going back to eating way too fast so get full fast and thus I am also starting to realize that may be why I seem to get nauseous a lot. Does anyone have any tricks or creative ways they use to get back into the chew, chew, chew mode?

Thanks!

Dinner was a sheet pan meal. Italian spiced chicken thighs and roasted veggies with the same seasonings (broccoli, shitake, oyster and cremini mushrooms, and Vidalia onion). Very yummy!!!

Hey Robin. Kathy is right. The task today is not to do the thing on the list, but to make the list and set a date to do something on it. (I’d never spring something that big on you in a day!)

So if you have a list, you’re already ahead of the curve. Now…pick something you can set a date for and get that date set!

(And the nosey part of me…[Read more]

Donna. Donna. I’ve watched you on Facebook and been at a loss as to how to be helpful. I would hug you if I could, too.

Now, in danger of fixing a problem versus just being supportive…

I’m glad you recognize there are issues, and that you’re working them – isn’t the first step everywhere identifying there’s a problem? I know that working…[Read more]

<p>Robin, you’re not supposed to DO the list today, you’re supposed to make the list and set a date with yourself… So, you have 7 things. Pick one. You can’t eat the elephant in the living room all at once (and you didn’t lose all your weight at once, either, did you?). Pick one, pick a date, and schedule it.</p><p>Today, my not-fun task is…[Read more]

[Nikki edited to add today’s task just in case folks need it.]

Today’s task is:
Make a list of fun things you want to do, then set a date to do one of them!
[Robin’s report-back starts here…]

I have been thinking about today’s challenge for a while now, mentally planning my list. So far, I have seven things on it. Which I find kinda sad.…[Read more]

Donna, if I could hug you in person I would!! Love and kindness to you! 💞
