Things I've discovered:
-The weeks when the weight comes off fast, I can't see or feel it in my clothes.
-The weeks when the weight comes off slowly, I can see and feel it
How I survived Thanksgiving:
It was hard at times because everything smelled SO delicious! I know I was supposed to make sure things weren't made with sugar and/or butter, but I picked out a couple of dishes in which I knew wouldn't be too sweet or buttery. I measured everything by the teaspoon. I picked a piece of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a tiny bit of green salad. I didn't finish half of it. I enjoyed conversation, paid attention to chewing slowly for as long as it took to make things "liquid". I realized that I didn't need as much food because 1) I have a tiny tummy, and 2) After chewing one bite of stuffing for 20-40 times, it's not as delicious!
How I survived the road trip:
This was the hardest thing I thought. Jack in the Box smelled great, so did KFC. I bought a breakfast pita from JITB, hold the bacon. I ended up continuing to just get bites of pita, no egg, ham or cheese. I ended up taking one too many bites and threw it up. I ate 1 potato wedge from KFC which was fine, and it was enough. I had small containers of yogurt with me and one of my baby's spoons to eat it with. I also have the proti-diet protein crystal light type stuff, so I kept a pack of that mixed with water for fluids AND protein. Overall it was difficult, if not impossible, to get enough protein on the road, but some was better than none I felt. Or, it was better than making poor choices and throwing up. (Throwing up while driving is not ideal.)
