Thanksgiving Wrap!!!

In a little diner up my way they have daily specials, and among the offerings this afternoon was a Thanksgiving Wrap. Gene had me call the diner to see what they had on special. Seeing as I am not eating, it's cheaper for him to get something out when he hasn't made a pot of stew or American chop suey etc.

It didn't matter to me that there was a seafood casserole, Yankee pot roast, shephard's pie, fish and chips and the like on the menu. For one small moment I wish I had my whole stomach back to be able to eat this wrap.

Then I had to remember that, good as it would be to have a wrap with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce on it, it would be better to let it go by. I tried to reason it out. Of course there is the delicious smell, and the generous helping, and of course the taste...I've eaten many of these sandwiches before on the holidays.

But then I thought, there comes a time when the food is gone and I am left feeling over stuffed and feeling guilty that I should have had the salad plate instead. At least where I am now, I never ate it so it can't add any more weight to me. It's the stuffing that draws me, bread yet again!!!

On a more weight-loss subject, I made a good protein shake this am for breakfast. I did the usual, 4ox skim milk, Equal and powder. Then I took one of those small diet jello portions and threw that in. The jello was cherry-flavoured. Then the 3 ice cubes and blend. The result was a rosy-pink. very thick and tasty shake which was very filling and kept my tum happy for a few hours.

I know I will have those moments of "wish I could eat that" and "why did I have my stomach done, I can't eat anything" and "just give me The Bread!!!" I just have to think it through and pull it all to pieces and see exactly what it is I want from the desired food and how I would feel afterwards.

Gene just bought in the fish and chips. But I am over it now. The smell is very tantalising but it's not for me today.

Maybe a very small amount when I can eat solid food
