Taking the day off.
 

My oldest is having some fairly extensive oral surgery today and with the autism and non verbal it's going to be a nerve wracking time in the hospital. So I'm giving myself the day off from really "calorie counting". I just can't worry about that today. I'll still try to make better choices and not just "go all out" with it. Tomorrow I will just go back to my normal ways and start counting again also thinking I might try IF see if it can help control the calories better.

Hope the surgery goes good. Please drink plenty of water. Maybe bring a bottle with you to the hospital

Thank you, I do plan on bringing along the water bottle. I don't want to have to drink "regular" soda or coffee all day. I don't trust the machines to have healthy choices and I won't drink out of hospital fountains.

I'll send positive thoughts and energy to you and your son!

I like the idea of the water bottle.

I have to say, I think hospital cafeterias are pretty decent and they typically have healthier options. I think you'll be just fine and certainly don't need the added worry of counting calories.

Thank you Precious, the cafeteria does have good choices just not good prices lol

:hug: keeping you in my thoughts. Sometimes you just need to take the day off. Sending good vibes to you while you wait for the surgery to be over. Best wishes for your sons speedy recovery. :)

Thank you Elvis, he's doing great already back to his normal happy self.

Awesome, so glad he did great and back home! Hope you had an ok day with all you were dealing with. :)
