Okay, so, guess what? I've already thought about this weekend, and I'm NOT going to journal the day of the party. I am going to enjoy myeslf. I've been doing so well, and I figure that one day every once in a while is fine. As long as I get right back on track the very next day. And continue working out, no matter what.
I am loving myeslf and the progress that I have made. More than I love cake, and more than I love recees peanut butter cups and cheetos. There is nothing like 'feeling' thin, for the first time in over a decade! I am not going to visit the person that I used to be.
Around these parts BBQ also means lots of fresh watermelon, tomatoes, strawberries and cantelope. I am worth keeping in control and eating what is good for me.
We have a 4th lunch that has been the same since I was a kid. My aunt and her friends all bring the same items so I know what is going to be there. I just plan accordingly.
For supper, Hebrew National makes awesome 98% fat free hot dogs. They are 2 points and a bun is 2 points. With fruit and some raw veggies, baked chips and a WW fudge bar. I will have a yummy dinner and the rest of the family can have regular hot dogs and fruit and chips.
I'm with Kristina. Special occasion, behave specially. Not-special occasion, behave in regular, healty-habited fashion.
That said, I can't eat as much as I used to and can't handle as many rich foods. I eat when I'm hungry and STOP before I get to uncomfortably full. That alone is half the battle.
On Saturday, we have a picnic at my dad's.
My strategy? Bring food I can eat!!! We're bringing tomato and mozz salad and watermelon. I'm planning to have a burger, no bread, the tomatoes from the tomato salad (maybe a FEW of the mozz, but no more than TWO), and some watermelon. Good to go.
That's my plan. Bring the food I can eat, that way I KNOW it's there.
YIKES! I am so glad our fourth is low key...although we are going away for the weekend...and I am feeling weak! Keep strong, enjoy your special day and let's all meet up on the other side to encourage each other to STAY ON TRACK!!
Tina
