    Hello Myth,

    I bought several shades of letuce leaves in the produce section of a super store. They had Romaine, spinich, red leaf, and 2 other leves that looked edible. Should make for a great salad. I like lots of different greens to make the salad look pleasant. Will use a little salsa as dressing.

    Thanks Myth, made it thru yesterday without doing much damage!! Darn if my son and grandaugter didn't stop in last night with Dairy Queen, but I shared mine with Aubrey and didn't each much of it at all, so that in itself is an accomplishment! Ate my salad last night for dinner and will have one for lunch tomorrow and may even be daring and have a third one some time this week!! My mother brougt over half of a cake I love called "Dr. Bird" cake, and I asked her to please take it back home with her......she did. So I made it thru yesterday without going over my calorie limit. Of course the scale didn't show any weight loss for this week but I feel thinner!

    chipgal-- "other kinds that looked edible" -- haha :)

    Had a salad last night with dinner :) . And another success today--at McDonald's. We had a block off and everyone decided to walk to the nearby McDonald's for lunch. Unfortunately, I had money in my pocket. Usually I try not to bring money to school so I don't spend it on fast food... but anyways. I also had a perfectly good packed lunch in my bag, but I didn't bring it to the McDonald's!

    My success was that I limited myself to buying a hot chocolate, AND resisted the tempation to eat people's fries when they got full. I call that a win! I returned to school and ate my packed lunch instead :) Hooray :)

    Chipgal,

I could not use slasa for dressing atleast I dont htink so. I use wishbone vinegerette. I also use hard boiled egg, turkey, and 2% cheese. I can not eat iceburg lettuce I eat like earthbound mixture of a bunch of leaves! lol I did have a salad today when I was not expecting to, but hubby dragged me to Panera so I got salad! lol

Have fun with the water, but yall dont yell at me when you have to wake up and pee in the night, my dh said the other day I swear you are like a alarm and you get up every night at 3am to pee, rofl. It sucks cause I knwo I get up atleast once a night to pee. UGH!

    NewBeginings,

    Keep up the good work. Seems like 4 years when you give up something you really enjoy.

    newbeginning--wow good for you :) i think you deserve it after having such a rough time of it !

    i've been fighting a cold all week, which means less activity than normal. i've been goingover my calories (i have 1410 for starters every day), but only by around 50-100, so it's not that bad.. it's just i'm used to having 300 extra calories or so from exercise!! hopefully once i get over this cold i'll be back on track... which i need to be if i want to be 130 by july!! i weighed myself today and was 145.8, which is not quite a pound off since last week (weighed myself as 146.4 last tues) but is still an improvement! however, i'm feeling really motivated now for some reason, haha!

    I love those times like your party. I can relate! The one thing that shocked me was my first time like that. I realized I was thinking abotu the food when this is about friends and fun NOT FOOD! It was liek a light bulb,lol. To bad those lightbulbs go out an dI have to keep replacing them but I do replace them! :)

    Hi Myth

    I was reading this message you posted the other day. I was out having lunch with my sister and her little boys. Usually I would just cram all the food in my mouth. But thinking about your post made me realise. Im here because I enjoy my sisters company. I get to spend time with my little nephews. So why focus on the food. I should focus on the company - it was a revelation!! I did eat but I wasn't solely focused on food. I didn't eat as much as I would have and I really enjoyed my family lunch outing!!! YEH!!!!! Hope I can keep this mindset up!!!

    Congradulations on the family meal Jaymie. I took myth's advise as well and found I took a box home from the restruant because we visited more than ate. I think it was a great idea. keep posting.:bigsmile:
