Can you believe thiis....this past Saturday was my father's birthday. My mother had homemade stromboli, with homemade ice cream and carrot cake for dessert. We went to a party on Superbowl Sunday that had every possible bad thing to eat in the world there. And yesterday was my son's birthday in which he wanted Cheesecake. I was a very good girl. I turned down some things as well as remembered my motto "Put the fork down already!".
Guess how much weight I gained back? ZERO POUNDS! :happy: That's right. You heard me. Zero pounds.

Okay now. Someone tell me how good I did. I need a good pat on the back.

And a little encouragement not to go to the fridge and eat the leftovers right now.:ohwell:

    Wow, awesome job! I'm super impressed. I could never have resisted homemade ice cream...and just remember that leftovers never taste as good as the first day it's made. :)

    Have a great day!

    You did absolutely FANTASTIC to survive all that food and not gain a single pound! WAY TO GO!:flowerforyou:


    Keep up to great work! Your willpower is amazing!

    You can fight this battle and WIN :drinker:

    P.S. If the temptation is to great either pass the leftovers on to someone else or throw them out. It's not worth sabotaging your weight-loss progress.

    Who invented birthday cakes anyway? We should change that tradition. People celebrate New Year's with saurerkraut, and St. Pat's Day with beer.......We should celebrate birthdays with............oh I don't know...... yogurt. That would be so much easier!

    Good Idea...lets get rid of the birthday cakes and have birthday sugar free jello topped with fruit...

    Congratulations!
    You have helped me make the decision just now to NOT grab part of a Mancino's grinder that someone just plunked down near my office. I just ate my pea soup and don't "need" any more food.

    it's amazing, though, how I can walk by that sandwich with pea soup in my hand and suddenly crave the sandwich big-time. Scary! (No wonder I gained weight! The see-food diet...)

    Cheers to you!:drinker:
