Right then.... Yesterday:
Was dog tired yesterday so we went to bed at 9:30, so I didn't write the entry, but yesterday was an interesting day again.
Here is what happened yesterday (10 Weeks + 6 days)
Breakfast, I made pancakes for the family. I didn't make them like crepes or normal pancakes, I kind of did them like we had in America... thicker and about 6 inches round.... I had 2 for brekkie. I didn't feel ill at all and everything was great.
I was digging all morning and leveling the garden at the back and seeding a new lawn (which near on broke my back!) and I was getting peckish (WOW!) at 2:30 so I made DS and I some lunch. We had a quorn lamb style grill each and some chips. Its all I had in the freezer. After last nights chip incident, I gave myself just a handful of chips. I ate them and about 3/4 of the grill and as I was literally chewing what turned out to be my last bite, I started getting 'the dreaded pain'. I kept chewing and I was deliberating on whether to swallow the bite or actually spit it out. I swallowed. Mistake. The pain got worse... not the water in the mouth, just a pain like bad indigestion.... It was not as bad as the fish and chip incident, but I thought it was going to be... I got up and had a walk about the garden and after a couple of minutes the pain eased. I had thankfully caught it in time. DS had the last piece of my grill. He actually had more than I did at this meal.
Then I carried on digging. We are having our bathroom tiles finished off at the moment, so they were doing that and I was in the garden, and then by the time DH got home and helped me finish the lawn it was about 6:00pm.
We don't have any food in the house to make a meal out of (as Wiltshire Farm Foods are delivering today! Hurrah) so we decided to go out.
We went to Pizza town which I adore. For the first time EVER we ordered one pizza and one portion of garlic bread with cheese and a single helping of coleslaw for the 3 of us.
I had a glass of red wine first and then some coleslaw and one slice of pizza. I stopped between bites and put my fork down and let each bite find my band before I took the next. I did NOT want to go through the puke scenario in public! This worked beautifully. However, DS and DH were still chomping away... and I was sitting there. DS had 2 slices of pizza and some garlic bread and coleslaw. DH had about 2 slices of pizza and garlic bread. There was 3 slices left on the board to take home. I could not resist eating just a little bit more topping off of one of the pizzas. I ate it. It went down and it was fine. So did I stop there? No. I had a little bit more topping and then I felt the pain. Amazing. I had actually stopped correctly for the first time in my life, but I just had to push it didn't I! What a nutter I am.
Anyway, this pain did not last for long... 30 seconds maybe and it really was not uncomfortable. It was like a warning "Hey Dumbo! Stop Stuffing you face!" and I stopped.
It was quite a revelation.
I am amazed that 1 ml can make such a difference. But it SO HAS!!!!
Looking back at the food choices, they were ALL crap. Pancakes, chips, pizza. Not good at all. I don't eat like this usually I promise. I know when I read other peoples blogs that I think "Jeez! I am not surprised you put on Xlbs if you ate that crap" But hey we all have bad days don't we. I have try to remember that we all have rafters in our own eyes that we need to take out first, but its not easy. I have rubbish eating days too, I wouldn't be this size if I didn't! But I am trying really hard after the band and £4000 of hard cash *cold sweat* not to have too many of them as that's just not right. But I know I had a bad day yesterday and I will no doubt have another one soon. I just have to thank the band! It saves me from myself. It RULES!
So that's yesterday....
