Well when I weighed this morning, I was finally on the lower side of the 270s, which by the way, might I add feels good. I haven't seen that number in a long time. All of this has become second nature now. Last night I was out with a girl friend shopping for her baby shower. We decided to go to Olive Garden.... WHO DOESN'T LOVE OLIVE GARDEN. Suddenly that dreaded fear of "oh no, I am fixing to really screw up my diet" . I felt that this was a defining moment. Always at times like this before, I have given in and just went for it, and it really would ruin everything. But suddenly there was a little light that came on, and said "I am in control of this"! You know what?... I was. I was so proud of myself. I had the salad and a bread stick.
It's funny that for someone who suffers from being over weight finds moments like that can actually define who you are and can control you. But not me, not anymore.
So far from my highest I am down 34 pounds, and 22 from my starting point in May. I have about 109 more to go, but now there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's getting brighter by the pound.
Wish you all well!

Hi, little . . mom!
WOW! You're doing great!! Congratulations!!
How's your Vertigo? Are you still not smoking? I'm so proud of you, girl!! I bet you feel pretty good, too!!!
As for myself, I've been under one stress after another here lately. But hey! Everything is alright now. I actually went off my program, but I trying hard to get back onto it again now. I'm just about "there" again. (Hopefully.)
Sorry I haven't been here for a while, but I haven't been to many of my friends' blogs for a long time. But, as I said, the stress is gone and I'm back -- trying to support my friends again.
Keep up the great work, girl! Will look in on you again before too long!
