    I managed to get through yesterday.

    Just for today I am going to go the longer way to the kids school to pick them up and when we go out for dinner tonight I will only have a small portion of curry with rice and leave the naan to stay within my calls for the day.

    Does anyone struggle with avoiding social situations because of their weight/self image? I used to really enjoy going to celebrations, reunions, etc but lately I'm pulling away. I feel this way when it involves people I know & haven't seen in a while.

    JFT
    Try not to let others interfere with my goals.
    Preplan meals for the weekend.
    Walk & do Pilates class today.
    Get a new pedometer.
    Drink water.
    Track all food.
    Garden & sand/paint table (keeps me out of the kitchen).

    Be in bed by 9:30!!
