Days 36-38

I'm being reminded day after day that I need to work on my brain when it comes to eating.  I STILL think that my portion sizes are WAY too small, and yet I can never finish more than 8-10 bites at the most.  Even though I want to eat more, I just can't.  And I also learned that 'they' are not kidding when 'they' say not to drink during your meal.  I've been trying to follow that rule, but sometimes I need the drink to help wash down my food.  However, my hubby and I were enjoying a kid-free dinner at Cotton Patch.  We did great on splitting the meal...I had 1/2 a cup of the potato soup and about 5 bites of his tilapia, but I was drinking my unsweet tea pretty heavily.  Well, "it" hit me like a ton of bricks.  This feeling of nausea/queasy/dizzy.  I just knew I needed to get home right away and lay down.  I'm not sure why the liquid does that...maybe it fills you too fast?  I don't know, but I certainly learned my lesson.  I will no longer be drinking during dinner.  Also, tonight after I finished back-to-school shopping with my boys, I ran through Freddy's for a hot fudge sundae.  Let me tell you...pre-surgery, I ate one almost every day.  Like, the Large size.  The whole thing!  So tonight I saw the "mini" size and guess what I thought?  "WAY too small!!!!" so I got the regular instead.  And it was way too much.  I ate about 1/4 of it and I was done.  I thought the ice cream would go down pretty easily and it did, but I got full pretty fast.  Which is great.  That's what I wanted, right?  It seems like all these things I've been craving are just not as good as I remember.  Which is a good thing.
