Eating on the road...

 Well - a little uncomfortable or maybe just unsure with the eating out , but everything went well.  I had 1/2 slice of toast, one sausage and about 6 home fries - no problems!  Supper was 1 chicken strip, 1/2 baked potato and a few green peas - no problems!  We were busy over lunch and so I missed that meal.  I really don't get hungry but I usually would eat more than this.  

I bought a new dress for a retirement banquet (NOT MINE sad to say)  and here comes the NSV size 18!!!  I looks a little lumpy but I figure with my Spanx I will be all set!

Suzanne - you are doing so well!!!!  Doesn't it feel great?!!!!!  I love it.

I sometimes think that the NSVs are better than the weight loss because they impact your self esteme so much more than numbers on the scale.  I haven't had a problem eating out yet but then I am terribly cautious and take a big helping of moderation along with the meal and bring stuff home with me. 

Its all a learning experience and a slow progression to where you want to be but it is all very doable so long as you make a conscious decision to do this the right way, follow the rules and exert good restraint. 

I am so happy for you.  Keep up the good work.  Positive thoughts coming your way.

Wow- congrats on the NSV!  I am wearing a few size 18 but I am really a size 20 overall.  I am willing to bet that the dress will be too big in no time!!

Hi

Congrats keep going!
