I have thought a lot about what took place for me in that suite and learned some thing’s about myself that I now feel are important. My self-control issue will always exist and I have to better prepare for moments or events like these. The truth is the old me would have walked in that suite grabbed a plate put two hotdogs on it and loaded up! I would have probably consumed close to 5,000 calories and not thought twice about it. I am happy to say that didn’t happen, but it would have had I not had my ace of spades up my sleeve. I did eat more than I would have liked to, enough to regret it anyway. It was not long and I found myself full and almost to the point of being uncomfortable. The VSG surgery has helped me when I was not ready to help myself and for that I am grateful. That night we went home put the kids to sleep and I kissed my wife good night and made my trek to the fat man torture zone or as some people call it the gym. I put in a great workout and thought long and hard about what had happened that day. I needed this reality check. I know that it’s going to show up on the results of my weight in this week. A week that is very important to me because I planned to hit my first major goal. Failure is not an option, I might experience setbacks such as these along the way but how I bounce back will define me as a person. If I end up one pound shy of my goal for this week, I know I will be filled with anger at myself for making this mistake. The anger will turn to sadness and in the past that moment of sadness would have been accompanied with a trip to a Drive – Thru and the good news is that is what has changed!
