Hey now!! I am feeling encourage and motivated! I weighed in last night and was down 2 lbs! That may not seem like a lot, but trust me... it is, considering I had to be dragged onto the scale. There was much to be considered, chips, calamari, a yummy mojito, bread, pad Thai Mcdonalds ice cream coneS... who the heck can resist 50 cent cones in 90 ° weather? Not me, didn't even try. Popcorn, not microwave... but the GOOD kind, the kind of my childhood. The kind that you pop in oil in a big ol pot and pour into a brown paper bag and salt it AND butter it, and shake all that goodness together...need I say more? That was my week. So you can see how this whole scale thing was not looking good right?
After my victory at the scale, I stayed for the meeting. I talked to the woman next to me, she does not have nearly as much weight to lose as I, but we share the snacking demon. I was encouraged. As I was leaving the meeting I was chatting it up with another woman, an older woman, Carol. Carol is 70 years old and a hoot! We were laughing about the topic of the meeting, FUN WITHOUT FOOD. HA! In what lifetime is this going to happen? There is not one occasion I can imagine this and I have tried. Carol said her family would be throwing eggs at her if she planned such an event.
As we talked I realized we have sooooo much in common regarding our relationship with food. She had a loss for the week too. As we talked about what we ate and how we still managed to lose weight. We counted those points!! I did eat a lot that I enjoyed , but I was conscious of the amounts I ate. I should throw in, I ate a lot of good stuff too. I love salads, and fresh fruit, a big breakfast, fish, chicken, veggies. I love food. Period. I love good food. I enjoy cooking. I enjoy cooking new things.
If I can just get a handle on this whole portion thing...
I am going to continue this journey with WW... I am only 3 weeks in and I have a LOT of work to do.
Thanks Tarsha for your support!!
I am encouraged.
