Good advice.

It is safe to say Gremlins got all the points the past two weeks. I will be back to this on January 1. What I have learned is that is it easy to let logging and everything slide when that festive season starts. I have to do better with this next holiday season. Now we just begin again.

It is so easy to just eat a bowl of ice cream or cereal for dinner when you are alone and don't want to be bothered cooking. When I lived alone I cooked enough for two meals mostly. I don't mind leftovers or repetitive eating for the most part. The trick of course is to not eat both servings at one meal. As for getting out…

Once the holidays are over, I find that I don't eat certain things. I don't eat my beloved Lindt truffles except for Chrsitmastime. I rarely have alcohol, except for super special occasions if it isn't December. So I am just going to roll along and at least eat like normal for breakfast and lunch but enjoy my outings.…

@MostlyWater I am so sorry! Wow! I hope you heal quickly and completely. That is just awful!

It has been a disaster of a week. I thought I had zero social events until I ended up with four. You know what? It is what it is. I will just do the best i can to be careful meal by meal and if I have too much chocolate or champagne on any given day, well, I wll just have to take the consequences and get back to a better…

Could be a good idea. We aren't "just dieters" after all!

Dec 11 and 12 amd 13 Me 0 Gremlins 9 A horrible weekend. Ah well. At least I had a good time...

These are hilarious!

I have had a better social life than planned on or anticipated. I am free from any social demands now til Saturday. I think. But I feel like whatever little control I had has gone to the wayside... Today I just want to not eat like I am scheduled to be dropped off on a deserted island armed with a spoon and a butter knife…

Everyone is doing so well!!!

Dec 9 and 10 Me 2 Gremlins 4 I am having a much busier holiday season socially than I anticipated. Fun but...

I think partly why I like this group is because everything that is posted.is relevant to some aspect of weight loss or exercise. Also, all of us being of an age we are not prone to some of the silliness you find in the general forum. Or the tone. This is a good place to pick up new info and get support, and also we are…

Ain't that the truth and it never fails to boggle my mind...

I don't know how to edit. Doozies not doilies. Freaking autocorrect.

You're finding some real doilies out there!

I like that. Gloria is always good for a quote!

Pays and never complains? a dream tenant. Your shrink may have some helpful advice. My experience with people on the autism spectrum is that they are not intentionally difficult, but they do have challenges changing their behavior and it takes a lot of time.. Patience is required.

Dec 2 and 3 Me 4 Gremlins 2 A little trouble pre plating. Wasn't home which always throws things off for me Sometimes I think I shouldn't leave home til I hit goal.

I would give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't think she meant anything by it other than to observe that the class attracted all comers. Now if she said "Welcome, Granny" that would be different. T

Well that's something to chew on. December's goals 1. At or under goal 2. Drink water 3. Pre-plate and quit sticking my spoon into bowls for a little taste. All these little tastes are adding up to a lot of me. 4. Dec. 1 Me 1 Gremlins 2 Well, I didn't set my goals for the month til just now!

Today I get back on track. I didn't even really log the past few days. I am pleased that I didn't eat like a complete fool but between company and constant activity I didn't really watch like I should. I started off with a decent breakfast today and expect to keep it all reasonable the rest of the day.
