Calmish Night

Last night was much better. I was finished by dinner at 7 and had two corn chips at 8. After that I worried all evening as I think dinner (a rerun from last night) was not settling very well. I took two tums before I went to bed and I didn't have any trouble last night.

I think it is the beef stew I made with whole tomatoes and peppers. I will for sure watch it though as I think acid reflux seems to be the big warning sign when things are going to take a turn to the bad. I do not want an unfill if I can help it.

My scale registered at 181.0 this morning (I was hoping for another drop into the 180 or even 170's zone. It still gives me a surge of joy every time I get on the scale and it moves down (even if it is just ounces).

I have read a bit about people trading one obsession for another after they lose weight. Now I was never obsessed by food and I have altered my life away from so much work and towards more leisure time but....I have noticed I am shopping a lot more than I used to. I am gong to have to keep a lid on it and monitor things I think. One of the things I notice is that because I have so much more energy after this weightloss I am no longer happy to sit and watch TV all evening. I am trying to find things to keep me occupied (including cleaning house) but it is a new oddity that I didn't really think about before losing weight.

Last night i burned up some of the energy with another round of bathroom cleaning to get ready for our Independence day party this Sunday. I also cleaned my sewing room and sat down to work on a make up bag for one of my daughters. When I looked at all of the stuff I have accumulated in my sewing room I decided that it was time I finished things already started instead of getting stuff for new projects.

I am so glad you're feeling better - I was worried for you.
And yeah: I am with you on the shopping. MOTH has actually started to complain a little, something he doesn't often do. Theres no stopping me now - and I don't want to (but probably will have to! lol.)

I just read your SOB story and decided to come on over. I will be in Portland in a couple of weeks--it's my first trip to the Pacific NW. Thanks for being such an inspiration to us newbies (I had the surgery just 3 weeks ago) and sharing your story.
