Wendy - Good for you to hop back on the E.T. Pizza is okay - as long as it's a small amount.

Why do we do that to ourselves? WE do all the right things, we get our weight down and then one event sets us off and running without regard to all the good stuff we did? We seem to forget how to eat veggies and protein and fruit and eat all the bad stuff. I can't believe that I am doing a major weight loss thing AGAIN! I am so appreciative that you are all here and know what it's all about.

The good news is something has clicked and I am really, seriously doing it after years of half way. Even tho I lost 15 lbs for PIP, I gained it back. I went to a business dinner and they had key lime pie for dessert. I passed. That was a big test. I ate a dinner plate full of lettuce with about 4 oz of very plain chicken breast with no skin. Nothing to detract me from my goal.

I've been pretty much the same size for a few years and I bought some new stuff for Italy from Travelsmith. All too tight. I can imagine how I'd have felt if I couln't have zipped up those pants - at least I was able to get them up and on.

My scale says I am down almost 6 lbs. Maybe I can lose another 10 before the month is over. That would feel really good.
