Back from Vacation

Well, I haven't posted for 2 weeks because I have been on vacation. I lost 4 pounds this week after only losing 1/2 pound the week before. We went to Great Wolf Lodge and Six Flags and man did we do alot of walking and stair climbing. I haven't done so much in a long time. I can say that I am glad to be home and getting  back to what I call normal. All the people eating all the things I can't and it was mentally hard even though I wasn't hungry. It did take some of the joy out of vacation for me since eating has been my favorite activity all my life. I guess it will get better. I had to get over it fast though or  my time would be spent moping around with a "Who is me" attitude. After all, I decided to do this and it isn't anyone elses fault that I can't eat that way anymore. In fact that is precisely why I chose this.

Glad you had a great time on vacation, how was the Great Wolf Lodge?  I have been seeing it on TV, and have been interested in going.  We really want to go back to Six Flags this summer but it doesn't look like we are gonna make it.  Congrats on the 4 lb wt loss.  I know how you feel about the food, it gets better, but even with me at 10 months out I sometimes still get depressed about not eating the things that others are eating.  But we knew this, and we did it for our health.  Things don't change overnight it takes a while.  

Thanks and you are right. I am glad we are back. GWL was really great. Alot of exercise.

Welcome back!
I have heard GWL is awesome. I want to go to Six Flags, but I am thinking that will be something I do next spring when the grandbabies are 2 and can go an have fun.

I wish they'd have an old ladies weekend at GWL-I'd be there in a minute...LOL.

It is hard to adjust to a new way of vacationing and it does get better over time-because some of the treats you will be able to enjoy again.  In fact, I enjoy my holiday treats (one treat on the day of the holiday) FAR more now than before when I just stuffed and stuffed and felt miserable.

Also, most people are pretty accomodating and will share a bite when they know you can truly only have one bite....and sometimes I enjoy that shared bite more than I ever enjoyed eating an entire something.

The only thing I seem to enjoy less now is sugary stuff-because I don't eat it often, I have lost the taste for it. 

It is nice to know that I am not alone in how I feel. I am the kind of person that I cannot just take 1 bite. It is a fatal move for me.
