Back on the Road to Thinner...
Today is the last day of school! Yippee!!! I am excited about this summer; this will be the first summer I don't gain back any weight! I think being on the Core plan will make the difference. Instead of panicking about using too many points before dinner, I just eat off the core list. No stress. And you know, when you CAN eat you eat less. It's when someone says, you can't have this, stop eating that a binge is imminent.
And speaking of binges, boy did I have a fun Father's Day. We took my father out for dinner (one italian meal) and then went over to my husband's father's house and guess what? They were just sitting down to eat (two italian meals). So of course I might as well have dessert than too!!! chocolate cake and regular ice cream. shameful. BUT, the difference is that now a binge is just a binge...not a slide backward for weeks. I got right back on program the next day, and last Tuesday I lost 3 lbs. You CAN do this. Progress not perfection, as they say. I'm up to 76 lbs. lost now.
Have I mentioned lately that it's all about planning? I had a big school breakfast buffet this morning, and I brought a huge fruit tray. It was yummy and much better than donuts and bagels! (Not that I don't adore bagels, but who wants to be hungry again in an hour?) I ate my fruit with some f/f cottage cheese and all was well. I'm constantly thinking about how to be successful. I worry sometimes that I think too much about food (!) but at least it's how to eat healthier???
Off to the weekend! I have to look up the restaurant we're going to tonight so I know what to order!
