another day

Yesterday was a bad snacking day for me --:(         I grazed most of the day on trail mix and popcorn, I know this is a no-no , my willpower just wasn't strong enough to resist the temptation yesterday. I am thinking maybe I shoildve drank more water , maybe I was mistaking thirst for hunger ! I noticed too that on the days when I drank a few cups of hot tea I also eat less. Coincidence? Maybe who knows ..All I know is it works and its a relaxing ritual too, more so when the AC is cranked up and i am cold.   Another side effect I recently realized is that some people have trouble regulating their body temperature after WLS--I wonder if its because we are losing the insulating fat that kept us warm ???? I used to keep my bedroom meat-locker cold and still turn on my ceiling fan on high while using no covers just a sheet. Now however paul turns the motel AC down to 63 and I sleep in thick pajama pants and a t-shirt while cuddling under two-three blankets and still shivering,, most nights I have to turn on my heating pad and lay it in front of me because I am so cold.
 I have to make my appoinments for the surgical center follow up that I missed. I did go to the first one after surgery but missed the one month appintment-probably not a good idea to skip those.
On  good note Paul was stretching me yesterday ( to help with the back and kneck pain from my fibromyalgia) and he made a comment that y shorts were just falling off and too big-----AHHHHH those are the words any women who has or is struggling with her weight longs to hear. I smiled and felt my inner diva do a backflip, and said yeah i know I am in between sizes 16 is too big and 14 was  still too tight this weekend when I tried them on, I am going ot try some size 14 again to see if they are more comfortable this week. I gotta tell ya it feels so amazing to put on a formerly tight article of clothing and not have to suck in my belly to fasten them , and it feels even more wonderful to realize that i have room to pull the waistband away from my stomach....I bought a beautiful sundress that is my goal size --I don't think I am gonna make it into that dress before winter --but it's ok because  I know that this time next summer I can put it on and feel ok ....thrift stores are gonn abe my favorite place this next year --I can biy clothes in my new size, and not spend a ton of money on them ---plus it's gonna feel great ot try on the clothes i used to yearn to wear
