At 400+ pounds, I finally pushed myself to get the Lap-Band surgery. This is the tale of how I'm trying to become the woman inside of me that's fighting to get out.

Boooo on Chocolate-dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies

I did good today, no snacks, worked out, tried to drink a lot of water... (I think I'm at about 35-40 oz, going to try to make up the rest before bed). Then we stopped at the grocery store after I picked up DH from work. Again, I was doing really well, got some veggies, calorie free/fat free Ranch dressing (! - even the lowest fat-free Ranch I've seen had 30 calories). Then, we went past the bakery, I saw my strawberry shortcake, only stared for a minute, the moved on. On the way out of the bakery section, I saw a big tub of 20 chocolate chip cookies...that were half-dipped in chocolate. I showed DH, just because I had never seen them before, and then I was ready to move on. He flipped a coin and put them in the cart. He said he's going to count them to make sure I don't binge, but I won't anyway, I KNOW I have enough willpower now. I did have one, and just one. It wasn't as great as I was hoping, so now I really know I won't be eating more than one a day, if even that.

The week is going so slooow, I want Friday to come so I can weigh in and see if my no-snack, no-sweet week is paying off as much as it did last time (I lost 6 pounds about 3 weeks ago when I tried this).
