NAWWWWW, JO. Not really, but just feeling my way along!
Ok, so to date, I've lost 137 pounds. In one more pound, I will have lost as much as I weigh! I look at my body and can't believe that I used to carry around another me! To think that I've lost a whole person, well, I just can't think on that too much because then I start looking at parts of my body and realizing that I've lost a whole foot, a whole hand, a whole boob, lol.....then, I start thinking too deep and realized I've lost half my brain.
Had to tell you...was riding beside my 11 year old granddaughter recently. She mentioned she weighed about 65 pounds.
Some smarty chimes in and announces, "Hey, grandma's lost as much as Evin weighs!" Okay, so I've really lost a whole granddaughter!
Better to think of other things, lol. Thanksgiving is coming and we are taking the family to a very nice restaurant for a buffet dinner. I have decided that I will have my usual L & G, but I will add a few bites of anything that I want....a bit of stuffing, a bit of potato, maybe even a few bites of pumpkin pie. Then, since I'm not quite at my goal, I will be right back on program the second the dinner is over. I have debated about this, because I am a stubborn person and throughout my diet, I have not cheated even once. I was thinking of just treating Thanksgiving as any other day and sticking to my program, but I realize that it's really time for me to start dealing with these situations. What better time to face it than on a holiday where food is the focus. So I will eat what I think is very reasonably and move on........Thankful that I am now thin and that I can make good choices.
