Back again.....had a good time.
I bought low-cal, healthy snacks to have with me there.
I ate a lot of salad.
I kept my portion sizes reasonable.
I did not stuff myself.
I left food and bread unfinished.
I still didn't stay on plan.......still ate some sweets.....had biscuits and gravy for breakfast a couple of days......ate bread and even had pizza one night.....but....
I am not really beating myself up about it, although I'm probably in denial until I get on the scale!
HOWEVER.....it could have been much much worse.
Just not giving myself permission to totally pig out, and having "shrunk" my stomach over the last month was a help. No matter how much I end up having gained, it could easily have been twice as bad and was twice as bad last year when I went on the same trip!!!
I haven't weighed yet, was moving slow this am after getting home late last night.
so.......guess I'll weigh tomorrow and face the music!
I'm not giving up. At least I am planning on weighing tomorrow.
In the past, going off plan for a week would have led to another week....and then month....maybe a year.....or two!
Thanks for the support of anyone reading this






Congratulations! So glad to hear from you. Have been thinking about you.
You were placed in an atmosphere of pure temptation, but you never totally gave in and never lost consciousness of what you were doing/eating.
Continued blessings! NanieB
