Did you walk away from the dessert table?

I really thought Thanksgiving would be really hard for me, but I did pretty good. I ate a small amount of turkey, dressing and green beans. I ate a little fruit salad about 3 hours later.

I have noticed that I am eating larger portions and eating faster than I should, so I am really working on that part.

Before my surgery, I was a HUGE sweet eater. I pray that the sweet tooth remains a part of my past and not my future. I am staying away from them because I know this has been a constant battle in my life.

Next step, Christmas dinner!  I guess one step at a time!

 

 

Congrats, Laura.  It sounds like you did really well.  I hope that continued through the holidays.  I also found myself eating more quickly and larger portions than I should throughout the past month or so.  I have a job that's really unstructured during this season and I miss the routine.  When I have a routine at work it's easier to maintain a good eating regimen. 

For New Years today I had pork and sauerkraut.  It was sooo good and I really limited myself....till about 4 hrs later when I decided to have seconds.  That's when I overdid it.  Oh well--my body lets me know pretty quickly when I've mistreated it, so it doesn't happen too often!

Happy New Year to everyone and all the best as you continue your exciting weight loss journeys!
