I went to Buffalo this weekend with my boyfriend for a pre birthday shopping trip. All I could think about as we pulled up to the Walden Galleria was COOKIE CUPS!! Mrs Fields makes a chocolate chip cookie in a muffin tin that makes it cup shaped, They add a giant blob of frosting on it and I call it heaven. So we went to Mrs Fields and you would think I would get the cookie cup and I did. I also got the cookie sandwich and the cookie of the day. I took a few bites of of cookie sandwich and realized that I didn’t like it and that wasn’t what I came for. I did eat the apple pie with caramel cookie, I ate it before I even knew it and I am not sure that I could tell you what it tasted like. I decided not to eat the cookie cup right away since I was so sugared up. I also made my boy throw out the rest of the cookie sandwich. When I did eat the cookie cup on the drive home it was all that I wanted and remember and thats what I should have had all along.
I learned something important from my cookie cup.
My lesson was that I don’t need to eat all that looks pretty. That even though I have a bucket list of things I want to eat before surgery, I don’t need to gain another 100 pounds eating crap I just don’t want. So I will say good bye to the cookie cups.
I am going to make a list of things that I REALLY want to eat and do that.
I know that I can not wait for the day of surgery to stop eating all the crap that I do. My plan is currently cutting out pop and coffee as of September 1st and move on to reducing/eliminating carbs 2 weeks after that. Once I have mastered those two, I am moving on to sugars.
I need to be on the path to healthy before I make it to surgery and gaining another 20 pounds before that day will only make it that much harder after.
