WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

Afternoon LW's!!!!  Are you preparing for the Holidays?  Decorating and shopping done?  How the perfect Christmas outfit to show off your new figures?  DH always wants me to buy something red.  Which reminds me...my profile picture was taken when I was a few years out with my Red Christmas top.  I think it's time for a new pic.

How's Christmas shopping going?  I'm about 1/2 through....at least money wise...LOL.  The older the grandkids get the more everything costs and the less presents they get. Our oldest one asked for most of her things from a company in the UK and they aren't even suppose to arrive before Christmas.  I guess she's going to get wrapped up boxes with a picture inside. I'm hoping the company surprises me and they come before the big day.

Maintenance:   6+ years out!!!

Breakfast:        Scrambled Egg, Egg Beater Whites, Diced ham

Snack:              Greek Yogurt with Cherries

Lunch:              1/2 can Bean and Bacon Soup

Hi Roz!  My shopping is pretty much done.  My family's Christmas is tomorrow night.  I'm leaving for VA on Sat and won't be bac****il mid-Jan so I had to get it done.  I've got a small tree in my living room window I'm contemplating taking with me.  I think it will brighten things up in my small place there. 

I'm not doing anything special (like parties, etc) for Christmas but I am for NY Eve.  I found a dress at Salvation Army and really liked it but when I got it home and tried it on, wasn't crazy about it.  Was at my daughters' and we were talking about my son's upcoming wedding (May) and she won't be back into her "normal" clothes yet (baby is due end of Feb) and said she'd love to wear a dress she wore to a wedding before and how it would be the "perfect" NY Eve dress - so... I brought it home, tried it on and LOVED it.  I'm quite "curvy" now and it definitely shows them off.  I'll need to wear some control top pantyhose or spanx to try and get rid of the bumpy thighs but the dress is quite forgiving.  It's silver with sequins.  I bought some sparkly silver shoes at Payless so this is going to be a CHEAP outfit - lol. 

Went to the hospital today to see my Dad.  I truly think it will be the last time I see him alive.  He has deterioriated a lot and now his throat is paralyzed.  He can't talk or eat without choking so now he has to be tube fed.  He initially looked like he didn't recognize me but it could have been because I woke him up.  Nicole and the girls went too and he responded to them pretty good. 

Eating hasn't been great...

today:

B - coffee x2 w/creamer

L - Chilis - queso and chips and a cup of chili

S - a cookie

D - ?

Sorry about your dad Jody.  I'll be praying for him and your family.
