Feeling Full...NOT!

I've graduated!  I'm now on "real" foods but I'm still eating mushy foods.  My one-month appointment with Dr. Ellner went fantastic.  She doesn't feel like I need a fill at this point.  I did mention my concern about not being able to eat salads - she said it may take time but that salads were not out of the question for most of her patients.  I just have to ease into it.  I was so excited about this news.

For the first time in my life I was told I was ahead of the curve - I'm usually ON the curve - my protein intake has my body burning fat instead of eating muscle so of the 37 pounds I've lost, 36 has been fat and I've only lost 1 lb. muscle.  I now have to work on incorporating weights to help in the weight loss.  The doctor is very excited about my progress and it feels like a great place to renew my excitement about this process.

It's almost time..."girl time" and my attitude and feeling of a bottomless pit is strong!  The doctor says to just go with it to just get through but get back on track as soon as possible. She wasn't too worried about it but I can't seem to get full!  This worries me!

I didn't pass the movie test.  The girls and I went to the movies yesterday after we took the car to the shop for an oil change.  We walked to the mall (only a .25 mile) then sat down to watch "Spy Kids 4D."  All of us had hot dogs (mine was minus the bun) but I finished the entire dog.  The girls had popcorn.  I tried and tried and tried to resist the popcorn - I really did try but I lost the battle!  I caved in but I ate one kernel at a time and really tried to enjoy it.  And oh, I enjoyed it.  Too bad I did - how can I win this battle?

My clothes are fitting better - actually they're falling off me.  I have to hold my pants up a lot.  My underwear are actually falling as well.  Thank goodness I'm not wearing skirts. 

I am excited about this time in my life.  I like that my girls know that I'm doing this for them. They have been so supportive and Iliana let's everyone know that I can only eat "mushy foods."
