After my doctor's visit, Hannah and Beth Anne went to go eat my first real solid food dinner at one of my favorite restaurants...Houston's. I split a grilled chicken with Hannah and ate about 5 or 6 bites and was completely full!! It was so hard not to want to eat more. I am finally at this point where I eat to live, not live to eat. My hunger pains are definitely not the same anymore. I am not a meal eater anymore, just a pro at snaking. I eat about 6-8 mini snacks throughout the day. It's just a totally different way of thinking...mind over matter. I know that I have a huge addiction to food and this surgery is like my rehab treatment. Every time I over eat, my stomach tells me that was a very BAD decision. I get the most awful, uncomfortable feeling that dwells in my abdomen for what seems like forever. I am learning how much is enough, and how much is too much. Everyday gets better though. I am keeping up the optimism! :)
