Thank you.
I've decided that Christmas meals will be 100% compliant. I decided to allow myself *one special meal for Thanksgiving* which lead to 4 or more days of *allowing myself to finish off this food item, that food item....etc.* and also gained weight with that thinking. So.......no one has to hit me over the head with a brick to make me realize that my *one special meal* was not a good idea and definitely not something that I should allow myself again until I'm well into my weight maintaining phase.
So......I'm making beef roast for our Christmas gathering....but think I'll go ahead and have some chicken breasts baked and available in the 'fridge as I enjoy that more than roast beef. I did no holiday baking (cannot trust myself around sugary goodies right now) and I am finding that I cannot bring sugary goodies into the house. Poor skinny DH will just have to eat his fill at other places. The struggle is too much for me and I've failed to resist too many times in the past months. I, obviously, cannot be trusted to do what is best for me--at this point in my life.
I often wonder if I will ever have a 'normal' attitude and thought process about sugary foods.
The babies are here, they are unhappily down for a nap (unusual as their morning nap is usually a fuss free time). Once they go home this evening, then I'm done babysitting until late next week. Hooray! I love my free days as much as I love spending time with my grands..
Well, weight this morning was back up to 147 (yesterday was 146). Hmmmm. Oh well......I do have my water bottle in front of me, but it hasn't been opened yet and it is 10:30 already. I will finish this and then work on getting that bottle emptied before noon (32 oz bottle).
Hope the day goes well for everyone......
