Just wanted to check in, havn't weighed this week been away from home. I had gained 4 lbs last week, but by friday had dropped 3 of them. In past diets I would do good for the first week or two, then if I cheated, it would blow everything and I couldn't get into the "diet" mode again. HOwever, this time I have a different head set, maybe it is reading everything I have read on this site, that has me encouraged, but I know it is different, and I will tell you why. We headed out of town on Friday before Labor day to the Beaumont,area of texas (husband from there). On the way there we stopped at a BBQ joint to get something to munch on, I got us 1/2 lb sausage and 1/2 brisket and two slices of bread for husband and some cole slaw for me and potato salad for him.... I ate meat and coleslaw, (I could tell it had some sugar in it but not much) I brought water, and crystal light with me to drink while we were visiting with friends. Once there we went to the store to get food to eat, lettuce, veggies, breakfast stuff, bacon eggs, bacon rinds, heavy cream for coffee. (oh oreo for husband) When we got back to the house, I saw I could eat one oreo for 10 gr carbs, if I wanted. I have walked every day (something I don't usually do since my mode of exercise is swimming) and got on a row/glider each day, I have had 2 oreo this weekend and a tiny piece of choc. cake. I have been the best I could by having at my disposal the foods I can eat and drink. Normally when we come to visit here I am at the mercy of the food that is here and don't make the effort to eat what I should. When I get home tomorrow, I plan on hitting the gyn and getting a swim in and checking on my weight. Even if I didn't lose (I think I did) I have a good head about it and know that in the end I will be able to continue this WOE for a long time.
Tks for letting me get this off my chest.

(so glad to find this site back up, it really is like a life line between eating and not eating, sanity and in sanity of food)  |
