I got slimed... another not good to read while eating or having just eaten post...

This is a definite incident of "Thank God my mother was with me." I was sorry she had to witness that but I was also glad that she was there to comfort me when I had my first and hopefully last slime time.

We were way out in Suffolk County, on the south shore, about a good 40 minutes from my house and who knows how far away from civilization... (just joking though it felt that way.) I had to go and hand in something on a project I am working on and I had to make some change. Well in order to do that I had to "buy something" at the in-house cafeteria (yuck) and really didn't see anything I wanted but the cheapest thing there was potato chips. I had planned on giving them to my mother when after making change I was informed that the person I needed to see was on lunch and would not be back for a half hour. Rather than drive anywhere only to have to come back, I waited, and waited... mind you too that I hadn't eaten anything because just before traveling out to nowhere, I had to have a fasting panel done, which I did before our drive. Also, my mom and I had stopped for some Jamaican patties in Queens and I had a couple of bites of a veggie pattie with not problem until I spotted corn and stopped myself. I hardly ate.

Needless to say while waiting I let the hunger get the best of me. I started eating the chips- I know BAD GIRL! I started slowly and chewed VERY well to the point of saturation and they unfortunately went down well... not good. CHIPS BAD, VERY BAD! So the little bag seemed to satisfy me as I waited.

After I had my appointment with the person who had returned, I went back to the car. Mom had been waiting for me and for some reason I reached for the remainder of the patty that was not vegetable. I took one or two bites and that was it...first came a couple of hiccups then the the not choking but "stuck" feeling came, then the dry, rather wet slimy, heaving began. It was like no feeling I'd ever had. I did not vomit (thank goodness) but I did slime. I had the door open and was doubled over out the door. I forgot to mention that it was very windy so as my mother was rubbing my back, I was trying to not let the slime get back into the car, which was a rental because my car is not moving at the moment. So I grabbed a few napkins, and tried to guide the slime to the pavement, not into the car. What got caught on the door or side, I immediately wiped off. Very scary and as I said, I was glad my mother was there as she is a nurse and if anything was to happen, she was there to help.

We sat in the car for a good 15 minutes when I was finally okay to drive again. Remind me to never do THAT again! Not sure whether it was the chips or the patty or the combo but I will not be having either for a VERY LONG time.

The good news is that after all that I visited my primary doctor and she confirmed that I was 233 pounds! That was a great way to end a long day. I'm definiteltly excited!
