Day-217-5-minute-freewrite-thursday-prompt-appetite
Well it's been a week since my doctor told me I wouldn't live to see 70, if I didn't have a gastric bypass. I'm down 19 lbs. and only have 250 lbs. to go. I still have my appetite, plus I haven't seen the specialist yet. I'll have to inquire about the specialist appointment, but not till next week. I have the Festival of Flowers to worry about this weekend.
I just came from a luncheon with a few retired postal workers, at a Mexican restaurant. I skipped the tortillas and the chips, and stuck with the chicken fajitas, picadillo, and calabasita. Plus, I only had one plate at a buffet.
I'm kinda proud of myself right now.
Now if only poker works out for me tonight, keep your fingers crossed.
Losing it one day at a time!

thanks @fireawaymarmot
Augh, health. I wrote about mine in the freewrite today, too. I have had similar challenges so I'm here if you need to vent. Rooting for you!
Nice read. I leave an upvote for this article thumbsup
Good luck. You have to take care of your health and you will find what works best for you. I wish you the best.
Congratulations on losing 19 pounds! It does take effort to change our diets to become more healthy, but it's definitely very worth it. You have a great reason to be proud of yourself. Be well my friend and good luck with your poker!
So proud of you taking charge of your body and taking a day at a time to welcome change. We shall remind ourselves to take good care of our living temple so that we can live to enjoy more! :)
