Last night I got to Ladies Bible Study and looked over all the food. Chicken Corn Chowder, homemade corn bread, three types of dessert, and I craved it all. Then I really took stock of what I had available in calories. I made a very small bowl (probably just 1 cup) of the soup. I took the smallest bit of cornbread (about ½ a piece). I looked over all the desserts. Only one had a box with calories listed on it. I decided that was the one I was meant to have and cut one of those in half as well. I filled my 24 oz water bottle, drank the entire thing during that meal. After the meal, I went and refilled the bottle to sip on during the lesson. When I got home I still wanted something and was proud of myself for sticking to my boundaries while not depriving myself of things. I finished my evening with a small protein shake (half scoop of powder with almond milk) so I wouldn’t still be hungry. It feels like it took a massive amount of will power not to go back and get as much as I really wanted. I’m really, truly proud of myself for holding to my line.
Tonight I promised my family it would be pasta night. The plan for my bowl is going to be steamed cut green beans, topped with exactly one serving of elbow pasta, topped with 2 appetizer sized meatballs, marinara sauce, and the tiniest sprinkle of Italian blend shredded cheese. I have learned that on pasta night if I add a veggie in a similar shape to the pasta of choice that week and a little bit of protein, I will be too full to need additional pasta. It took me a while to figure out how to eat pasta with my family without losing all control. So this is the plan every pasta night now.
Thankfully, we have no plans for going out, running errands, or doing anything but stay at home tonight. I need a break and maybe a bubble bath tonight.

Happy Wednesday! So today is the first gain I've seen since I started my recovery journey, and I need to see how it goes tomorrow...if It's not a loss, I might just log my weigh in every few days...I really can't obsess over the weight- even though that's partly why I am here haha. I ate in a calorie deficit for sure, my body just didn't lose any weight yesterday, and that's ok
My food is planned and tracked, and I am at work all day so I'm going to be moving around a lot... I'm going to have an abstinent breakfast and drink a lot of water
Have a great day all!

@pamperedlinny I absolutely LOVED reading your post today. I am so proud of how you handled yourself at the Bible Study. You have GREAT ideas for handling pasta night at home too. Thanks so much for sharing. You have inspired me today!2 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

03/06-191.2-(Trend Weight 193.0)-
03/07-191.6-(Trend Weight 192.9)- I had a very good day yesterday. The blip up is likely from no TMI x 2, the expected water retention from a no med day, not nearly enough water, and very little sleep. I’m going to not let it get me down. However…..I’m happy to see my trend weight is still going in the right direction and my body has faith in me. When you get lemons, make lemonade right?
03/08-190.6-(Trend Weight 192.7)- Tonight is the school concert for two of my grandsons. The kindergartner and the younger high schooler (of the two). It is the next town over where my own children went to school and graduated (before I moved). Normally, for my son and I, I would make it an evening out and go to dinner first while we are all dressed up in our Sunday best. However, I’m feeling strong in my diet resolve right now (such a blessing when that happens!), so I pre-cooked a nice dinner yesterday and promptly refrigerated it. Tonight I will pull it out, heat it up and call it done. Sticking to my guns when I can and while I can!

I'm doing very well this week not eating junk and staying with in my meal plan. I had lunch with my church sister so I eat breakfast food because I skipped Breakfast this morning so I could stay in my meal plan. I've been struggling for so long it's nice to get back on track. Posting my weight I think will help me be more mindful of what I'm eating. Tonight youth group I hope I can stay strong because I know they will be cake my arch enemy 🤣Just praying I'll stay away.2 -
@nanerkay We use the lentil pasta for lasagna but it's too chewy for dished up spaghetti in my opinion. I honestly hated the chickpea pasta. I wish I loved it. We did the soybean pasta and my husband asked me to never do that to him again. 🤣😂🤣 I've been trying them all but my husband and daughter only want "real" pasta.3

@pamperedlinny Darn I was going to say Liviva Edamame pasta. I get the one that's like linguine. I think it's pretty close. Now my son, it definitely isn't his favorite, but he says it isn't bad. And he is willing to eat it when I make it when I get a craving. I buy it at Giant. I live between 2 Giant grocery stores. The one carries it the other doesn't. The one that does is larger with more selections.2

@nanerkay I've looked at every pasta I can find in the big box stores. Lentil, chickpea etc. but the carbs are Thru The Roof in all of them. If one is watching carbs too or diabetic, konjac noodles or hearts of palm are the only ones that fit within the carb budget and the calories are good too.2

03/09-192.2-(Trend Weight 192.6)- I’m disappointed because I did not eat back my calories and they were 69 under for the day. However, my carbs were over by a good amount. This could also be related to the fact that my TMI is not going well. I did end up going out to dinner after the concert last night. It was a new place in a nearby town that I had never been to, I just couldn’t resist, and I really wanted to take my son. I’m glad that I stayed under calorie and I REALLY REALLY watched my portions, but the carbs really bit me in the butt. Travel day today and I certainly don’t want to compound it. I’m pre-logging when I’m done here and making a plan. I know dinner will be that precooked food I put in the fridge. Gotta watch my lunch while out of town!
