Mopsie, that is such a great idea! I am going out for dinner with a friend on Friday so I believe I will do that too! I like that idea because I don't see the food on my plate the entire meal. Thanks for the idea!
In other news I go to the high risk obesity clinic tomorrow for a nutrition support class and a doc appointment. I am sure there will be a weigh in and I am not feeling the pounds coming off so we will see. I really want to talk to him about compulsive eating in relation to the weight loss surgery. I do NOT want to go into a procedure like they are talking without having a full grasp on my food addiction first and foremost. Of course I attend a program that has rigid stipulations before surgery can occur anyways so I am sure they don't want that either. Honesty is always the best policy so I will talk candidly to him about the issues as I see them. Otherwise, I cross my fingers and say a little prayer that the scales are a little lighter in numbers when I step on. Good thing I get to take my food and exercise log too. I just wish I were able to walk. That is the part that is most frustrating to me. I miss the activities I used to take part in such as hiking, bicycling, mowing the yard, etc...Haahaa! I know you all will probably be too happy to allow me to mow your yards once I am able to walk again. Right?? *Smiles.
