WATCHA EATING TODAY, VSGers? Monday 23 April 2019

I hope all of you had a lovely holiday weekend. Ours was a bit hard since it became evident that our oldest daughter's dog at almost 14, was ready to leave life. It was a very difficult time.

I did okay not eating weird stuff over the holidays, although there are some cream cheese brownies in my refrigerator.

B: Premier proteins shake, lots of coffee

S: Baby bel cheddar bite

L: Apple walnut chicken green salad

S: Peanut butter or mixed nuts

D: Not sure

S: Chobani yogurt

QOTD: How has your relationship with the world changed since your VGS? I'll answer in the comments.

QOTD: How has your relationship with the world changed since your VGS? I think I've realized my struggle about body image/world view, has evolved. Not easy, but different. Then again, in less than a month I will be 67 (God willing) and the world has definite ideas not just about size, but about the graces and challenges of aging for women.

So I am concentrating on feeling healthy, having energy, and being fully present with whomever I am with...not worrying about my gray hair (too much), or my size, or should I being wearing a polyester pantsuit versus my jeans, tee shirt and sneakers (which is kinda my uniform since college days).

I am learning to find the joy in the aches and pains (way less than before VGS), and be thankful that I am vertical! I enjoy my "adult children"; I enjoy my dogs (who are 2 and 3 years old) and my best friend and husband, who will be 72 (never thought about living with a 72 year old man, lol).

My reality is, I feel, much less clouded by issues that haunted me. So grateful for the changes!
