I did it!
I did it everyone. I managed to survive the weekend without gaining back any of the weight I had lost!
And, I didn’t even deprive myself. We went out Friday night as planned. I had a seafood linguine dish with a spicy marinara sauce, but I only ate half of the entree that evening. I boxed up the other half and had it for dinner last night. Saturday, we went to the block party. I sampled a bite of almost everything I wanted, including a brownie. The block party was in our old neighborhood, and it felt so good to have everyone commenting on my weight loss.
Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions and support. Y’all are the greatest!!
hats off too you!
Congrats!!! It is wonderful to know that we can still lose weight and not feel deprived. Keep up that great work and continued success on your weight loss journey.

Good job. I love the idea of boxing it up for the next night. You don’t have the old excuse of ‘the starving children in Africa’ because it’s the same thing as ‘cleaning your plate’. And thrifty, too. Like a free meal. And it was a good choice. It was great having everyone notice how good you’re looking. You can remember that good feeling next time you’re tempted to stray.

Way to go! We simply cannot deprive ourselves of everything. When I deprive myself, I tend to over do it when I get the chance!
