Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Even if they don't ask about your weightloss, you know you did it and how great you feel and how much better you look now. That should definately help keep you motivated during the picnic. Good going taking something you can have. Enjoy the people. Carol Re: Control at parties Beatriz I'm with you I don't control myself at events very well. I have to go to the first school potluck picinic today. So I am making a SB friendly dessert and something called Nutty Barley Bake. At least I know I will be able to eat some thing there. It's sooooo hard to not make these about food. I know it's supposed to be about meeting and reaquinting with friends and families, but there's going to be food there. So it must have something to do with food. I will try to stay strong, maybe someone will ask about my (20some) pound weight loss. THAT will keep me focused. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Well Carol, noone asked but there is good news. I went school shopping with my daughter (13) and her friend, tried on a 9 and THEY FIT! I didn't have the extra money to buy myself something this week, so I went home and tried on all of my "when I can where this again" box. I now have 2 new pair of jeans and a pair that the waist is so big I put them in the Goodwill bag. AND the only thing left was a pair of dress pants, size 7, they were zipable but tight in the tummy. I'm almost there, ph3, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 How true! We don't realize but so many things involve food unnessaceraly. After a child's sporting event they hand out a snack, the same for scout meetings. PTA meetings snacks are served, classes win pizza parties, book clubs serve cookies, candle parties, Tupperware parties...food is such a social thing. Kudo's to you mom for all that cooking and measuring. It does bring things in to perspective. -Beth. but I was hoping that when some of you > heard the story of how another person has to live, it might serve as > inspiration. > > " I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man > who had no feet.
