Three for Monday
Good morning beautiful peeps... it's a glorious day to be healthy! and I'm grateful for:
1). I have a new motorcycle. I got the bike I've been drooling over for months now. She's a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero 750 with only 1955 miles(the year I was born hehehe). I am in heaven. And I'm having to learn to ride all over again. Such a different feel from my little 450cc Honda. I'm posting pictures of course.
2). I spent the entire day eating out yesterday and ate well, stayed within my limits, and didn't feel deprived or guilty... felt satisfied and balanced. This is the place I've been looking for and I'm learning what that feels like.
3). I had an emotional meltdown Saturday night over some family stuff regarding my mother's death and what to do with the 1000 dolls in her collection. They were all left to my daughter but she needs help and other family members want to just sell them off and keep the money. It's a mess. But the point is I raged and fumed and cried but I didn't eat my way out of it. It's harder now not having the food to fall back on to cope with hard feelings because everything feels more intense (because it's not numbed with drugs of choice - food). But it's so much cleaner.
4). I'm especially gratful for this forum. This feels more supportive to me now than my local group. Thank you all for being here!

1. we had a wonderful weekend of warm weather and fun outside! Yesterday, I just HAD to bring out the kid in me and tried for the FIRST time my daughters Razor scooter. Those things come with weight limits and I was stoked to not have to worry about that one. We had races and she tried to teach me some tricks lol. Thank you RNY
2. I've been doing really good with not drinking for an hour after I eat.
3. I got my eyebrows done today - another thing I've kept up with since my weight loss, love it!
