I'm here! Atlantic City! I have waited all year long to come back here again and I can honestly say that I feel a million times better about myself and how I look being here than I did last year. I can wear better clothes, and I dont have to worry about looking like a shapeless blob, which is how I felt about myself last year.
Last night I had 3 large shrimp and a little bit of crab in a green salad for dinner, so I think that was a pretty heathy choice. After dinner, my husband and I sat down at the slots to do some playing, and when the waitress came around I decided that I would enjoy myself... I mean afterall it is vacation. I ordered a white wine, and that one turned into 3. Boy oh boy... alcohol sure does effect you differently after having Gastric Bypass. After the first drink I could really feel it, but I was enjoying the enviroment, doing well at the slots, and so I figured I might as well get a few more.
Now, the average glass of wine has just a little over 100 calories in it, and about 5 grams or sugar. So, I figure I had about 300 calories anc 15 grams of sugar. Ouch. I normally dont enjoy drinking my calories, so I'm not to thrilled about that.
It gets worse though....
Naturally, after drinking as much as I did, I wasnt exactly thinking clearly. I was a little hungry and at the time I thought Cheetos were an acceptable choice.... Ugh. BIG MISTAKE. I have no idea how many calories worth of Cheetos I ate, but I would say about 200 - 300 if I had to guess. The combination of the wine and the Cheetos gave me an aweful stomach ache and I just went straight to sleep for the rest of the night.
Today, I am kicking myself for my bad decisions last night, and it is certainly not something I am going to be doing again. As long as I can remember that sick feeling I got from that unheathy junk I will not want to make myself feel like that again. Not to mention that the drinking last night left me completely dehydrated this morning. Not a good feeling either.
