Wow, you two ladies have got your act together. I wish I could say that I made good choices over the last few days, but I can't. We have another party tonight here at our house and had one last night. Lots of good food and pizza tonight. Good job ladies.
Laura, you and I are somewhat in the same boat. I have not been as "good" as I had planned, but I made pretty good choices as to the limit of what I ate. I feel a whole lot better than all the Christmas times before when I have eaten everything that didn't move!
I started not to go to WW this a.m., but decided to go and face the music just for my own benefit! I was pleasantly surprised to have only gained .2 pound. I guess I hadn't done as bad as I thought! I can't get that cocky feeling, though, thinking I can indulge every week and get by. I was just glad to be able to handle it better than in years past. We have to eat in a "real world" all our life and we have to make those adjustments that are necessary for ourselves.
I, myself, was a food pusher this year! I made some "goodies" for all the rest of the family and some friends and delivered then on Christmas Eve, etc. I managed to stay out of most of the stuff. Maaj, you are handling everything so well...proud of you. Pat, sounds like you have had a great time at the son's. I'm sure you will be glad to get back to NY and in your own routine, though! Laura, hang in there...a little pizza won't hurt...just remember what your main purpose in weight loss is and get back in your routine as soon as you can. We've all come too far to turn back now!!!
Have a Happy Evening.....Diane I've been OP today!
Laura and Diane: thanks so much for all the encouraging words and I agree....we do have to live in a 'real' eating world and I am constantly trying to balance eating for health / wt.loss with eating for pleasure....there's a huge box of gourmet chocolates still sitting in our house...gift from some neighbors whose family is in the chocolate business...gotta get rid of it in a way that won't hurt my OP efforts but without being depriving...a delicate balance.....will give the box away and had some Dreyer's Grand Light French Silk (Slow Churned)lo cal ice cream on my OP plan so I didn't end up feeling deprived....the journey continues...maaj
