I have had a horrible, let me repeat horrible two days. I have been an emotional wreck. Yesterday I thought my life couldn't get any more dire when the principal of my daughters school called to let me know she was in his office for the second time in a week. Needless to say I muscled through the day, went and talked to the teacher and on the way home a miracle happened. I decided to stop at the store for a few essentials and as many of you know there is an Arctic Circle next door to the grocery store out here. I decided I had to have a chocolate almond fudge shake to sooth my tattered nerves. I ordered a small intending on eating the whole thing when the miracle happened. I only ate 1/4 of it and decided it wasn't helping me feel better and I was full by that point anyway. Let me also say I have never been an emotional eater. For the past two days I had eaten hardly anything and that day I had only eaten a single slice of turkey by 4:30. When I get stressed I don't eat, but for what ever reason that day I saw my salvation in the bottom of a chocolate shake.
My point to this very long story is the nice thing about having a lap band is I now see that if I want a shake to feel better it won't help because I get full so fast. I have to face the emotion and let it out. Also, I have no guilt about mindlessly eating.
Today is a new day and I feel like my self again! Thank goodness for feeling full along with some clarity.
FYI today while I was at Costco I found salmon burgers which are 4 oz and taste great. I added 2 oz of avocado and have had a great filling lunch.

It's a little amazing when you think about it. I mean, you can't FEEL the LB -- but boy it can rear it's head when you're not looking!
