My restriction has slipped and I am craving food. I actually, on my drive from work today, had an out of body hamburger eating fantasy. It was the weirdest thing on the freaking planet. I started salivating and actually CHEWING!!! I could taste the hamburger. Do ya think im a recovering addict? I have not had a hamburger in ages. I know I cannot eat them..so what the Heck? What is odd is that I felt no compulsion to swing into McDonalds. It happened after I was past the place and headed towards the highway. It was almost like my brain taking the piss!
My written down plan yesterday has perhaps helped. I have the presents purchased except for bits and bobs for stockings. I have the kids pajama bottoms made but not the adults (6 down 5 or 6 to go as it depends on how long the fabric holds out). Baking started with just pumpkin pies left. David kicked in and made a few different cookies tonight bless him. Tomorrow we leave for my parents house and I will take the inhgredients for the pies with me and at least the remaining pajamas cut. I skipped the document but attended the work meeting today...so progress but not completion as of yet.
I have not had much chance to sew in the last few years and It has been fun to get back and do a bit. I will commit to working on a quilt or two in the new year (funny..my first New Year's resolution that does not involve dieting!!!)
If I do not manage to post a Merry Christmas to you all later this week Here it is!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!! I Will raise a toast to you and think of you all as I eat my tiny tiny dinner serving at Christmas.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

Making pajamas for your family, what a great idea.
I never even thought of making our own!! We have gotten so lazy, buying everything we need.
I have a sewing machine that I have never used since we bought it! This makes me realize something else I could be making now that I am retired! Thanks for the idea!!!
I hope you have a fantastic trip to your families for Christmas. Enjoy the celebration, even if it is only in small amounts!
Have a very Merry Christmas!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too Tina. Hope it's a lovely one this year. Enjoy your time with your family.

Merry Christmas and I love the PJ idea too!
Just a note to wish you a happy Christmas Tina, and to thank you most particularly for the brilliant support you give me. It would be terrific to meet you one day.
Hug from Caroline
