A Woman's Wealth

If a woman's wealth were measured by the love her family has for her, I hope I would be counted among the richest of the world!

If a woman's wealth were measured by how much love she has for her family, I know I would be at the top of the list.

125lb Barbie? Whatever Floats your Boat

So, I went to another class today which was AWESOME! Met with the nutritionis and nurse who are monitering my diet. Orey went with me so he can be more involved in my weight loss program. Actually, "more" is not the right word. He is really involved to the point where he calls me at work to see how I am doing both emotionally and physically (empty tummy). Since I have become adjusted to my diet, sometimes I get busy and forget to eat or I get off track and figure I will make it up later. He likes to remind me.

I am down 15 lbs! Actyally it is 14.8 but you figure I was wearing clothes so I am sure that made a difference. Don't laugh! The bigger you are the more fabric your clothes have, the more weight your scale shows. If I were to get undressed I am sure I am a 125lb Barbie or something. That is my story and I am sticking to it!!

Okay, I have to fessy up. I did cheat this week. I went to Pizza Factory and had two small pieces of pizza. I HAD to! I was craving it so bad that I was becoming angry about not having some. I waited for about 4 days before giving in just to make sure I wanted to do it. I thought I would feel really guilty but I did not. It felt good and I got the craving out and all was fine. I did not tell my support person though. Over all I think that I did pretty good. Especially since I usually eat like 5 or 6 pieces with soda to wash them down.

Orey spent the day with me. After our class we went to a park to eat the picnic lunch I packed. That was really nice. A month ago I would have insisted we go out to eat a high fat, high calorie, high sodium lunch at Olive Garden or Red Robin or something like that. Not anymore. I was totally happy with the picnic (Yay tuna, carrots and protien shakes). Then we went to the bookstore and Orey bought me several books (since Deborah will not let me read hers) and a food journal. I love it!

All in all, it was a lovely day and I feel good about myself.
