Before After

Co-workers uncomfortable at lunch!

well the scale said only a 0.04 loss but i'm keeping in mind i gained a little over last weekend so i think the "re"-loss plus 0.04 isn't too bad for the week.

so far since i've started WW i have been very pleased. especially now that i am really getting the swing of things. i'll be going into my third week and every week there is a reason to "eat".

week one: mother's day

week two: went on the little trip to florida (my first time)

and now...week three: memorial day cook out!

but i've got it covered. i went out w/ the girls from the office to a meat eaters restaurant and yes i ordered a cheese burger that was huge and yes it came w/ huge french fries and a salad. so when this monster burger came i cut it in half, then parted the fries....and tested the dressing which was suppose to be fat free but i wasn't sure it was and after tasting felt it was better to not eat it and cost my self points for a dressing that wasn't worth it and only ate a few bites. the burger was yummy and the fries too but when the halfs were done i was done. when i got a refill of water i asked for a box so it wasn't there calling me to eat it even though i was full but i could have packed it in let me tell you...=) so when i got home i cut the burger in half and gave my little guy it and the fries w/ some fruit for dinner since my husband was workling late. and since lunch seemed like a dinner meal i made my dinner meal kinda light like a lunch w/ a salad, fruit, and yogurt.

i think i made the other girls a little uncomfortable when i asked for the box and they realized i wasn't gonna pound it all down which was my usual m-o. but i went about conversation as it i didn't notice their reactions like nothing new was happening. i noticed they ate a little slower and started to complain they were full but finished there plates. later that afternoon i came to realize that since i have always been the "buffe girl", "clean your plate girl", "pound it down no matter what girl" ....must have gave them the reason or ok feeling to over eat when we were out together b/c they could tell them selves....i didn't eat as much as emma did or i only ate half of what emma did" 

well they better find a new leader to the feed bag b/c those days are over for me!! i later got looks from a distance that were caught and a smile was quick to come but i know what they were thinking. they know i've lost weight. they've seen i have some control over my addiction to food and over eating. now they are thinking about when i will fail or maybe i am really gonna get healthy and that makes them reflect on their own health. even though the office seemed over turned w/ food emotion thursday afternoon i'm sure things will be back to normal on turesday. but any matter i'm on a mission for my self and i'm excited to get now to business....=)  holiday parties or not...i will con't. to lose!!!!!

Sounds like you did a great job with the burger. Surely you can keep that going at the Memorial Day barbecue. I think your days as "buffet gal" are over!

You are doing awesome!

Emma!  Way to go!

You keep it up.  I have not been on here in ages.  I am glad you are liking WW.  I have never tried it but know of several people that have had great success!

Have a great Memorial Day weekend.  We are going to my nephews graduation party tonight.  Hamburgers and Hotdogs.  I will just eat simple burger maybe not even the bun.  I dont even crave food anymore!  Talk to you soon!
