Progress

Went to lunch today and had my salad. I didn't even finish it! Although I still have a little uncomfortable stomach twinges, it was more a function of my feelings. Yes, that's right, I'm learning to manage my feelings. I had a number of "issues" knocking around in my head and I did my best to tackle them one by one rather than trying to "eat" them away. I'm not perfect, and I could have done better at times, but I just didn't find myself reaching for food. I'm making progress...

One man's stomach flu is another man's blessing

Monday, by the time I had dinner, I had consumed a day and one half worth of points. I just didn't even realize -- much the same as I spend money... luckily, we are out of debt and I have a small amount to blow each month!

Tuesday I awoke with the flu of some sort, but was able to carry out my motherly and wifely duties around the house and in the wider world... only I ate a very small amount until I entered my points this morning... yep, I had snacked away 20 points during the day!! That's right!!

Today I had some points left over as well. I had forgotten how much I CANNOT eat to stay well under the points. Here's to a couple more days of eating like I'm sick!!
