If you’re hoping to read about banter around the house or that I’m ripping into some customer service utter fail or a great recipe, this is going to be a disappointing as hell post. Sorry bout that. But this has been on my mind for awhile and I wanted to get it out there.
For a lot of my life, my relationship with food hasn’t been great. Only eating once a day or eating till I was absolutely stuffed or eating out of boredom or for comfort. And of course, eating the absolute worst things you could think of eating because they are just plain tasty.
As I’m working hard to drop the weight prior to the transplant, and thinking about my own long term health, it’s suddenly becoming easy to stick to the under 1200 a day thing. I’m watching portion size, counting the calories, logging them and my activity- and it’s getting easier.
It’s easier to bypass the fries without feeling punished. And yeah, sometimes I have a couple and I can stop without eating ALL of them. Food isn’t my all consuming preoccupation anymore- and it just feels like a relief. Knowing that this attitude will keep me from rebounding and putting the weight back on, that I’m one step closer to the all important lifestyle change that will keep me healthier… well, it’s a really encouraging feeling.
Except for the fact that I’m always cold now. That sucks. I truly don’t know how skinny people survive.
And now, because I can’t leave you without ANY smiles-
Actual text conversation with the Wellmans (in which you may do all the groaning you like)-

Ari: I think he mist the point
Rick: That watered down
Ari: Hey hey hey… when it rains, it pours
Rick: At least there no pooling
Ari: I’m not sure how there isn’t, considering how you’re showering these down on me
Rick: When I’m hot I’m hot
Ari: maybe an ice bucket challenge would cool you off
Rick: That well just drown me
Ari: I’d bet on you to float if it was a sink or swim situation
Rick: The pressure high down on the bottom of the ocean
Ari: gonna need your scuba gear
Rick: You blew up my sub
Ari: But I had to! You sank my battleship!
