I am so PROUD of the new ME and my CHOICES !
Overall right now things are great. I am on a weight loss high and truly, truly lovin' life. Okay check this out....Yesterday, I had a get together with my family for my daughter, she turned 18 on 9/18. So we had to give her a celebration. Just so happens that the girly loves MEXICAN FOOD and so does her mother. So being the great mother I am, I cooked for her. I made tamales, chicken enchilada w/green sauce and regular ground beef enchiladas for my sister and her children. Refried Lowfat beans, light sourcream and fat -free cheese , no one noticed the diffrence....The continued to say how good it was.......especially my daughter, "the birthday girl". We all ate, yes including me, but....I ate in moderation....My stomach these days can't take much and regardless of whether I have to throw uneaten food out, I flat out refuse too overeat just because the food taste good and is here! I am actually eating like I am skinny and enjoying it. Then today at work we had a FALL potluck, OMG. They had everything from lowfat chicken pot-pie to carrot cake, shrimp w/cocktail sauce, and lots and lots of salads. I brought ginger bread, my favorite!
Well anyway...I had salad and steamed shrimp, it was sooooooooo yummy. I also had a very small bite of ginger bread. I literally bit a piece and disposed of the rest, not because it tasted awful, ( I can cook!) but because I am FINALLY aware of my limits.
I have just got to say this.....I have had 2 successful days of eating sensibly even when you have so much WONDERFUL temptation all around you. I don't know if you all remember, but I am a sweet fanatic!!! To see Carrot cake and and just walked away from it, for me the SWEETHOLIC.... AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT! I am training myself too understand that it is okay to eat anything in MODERATION. We get out of hand when we eat too much of anything in excess! I am doin' the happy dance due to my success!!!
