Thanksgiving-On the Edge !
I will say that this Thanksgiving was proof that this sleeve has delivered me from the bowels of eating hell. I definitely knew exactly what I was thankful for!!
I ate my protein first ham/turkey, a BITE of two casserole dishes, and about 4 bites of dressing, and one slice of pumpkin spice cake....all this was while grazing over this one plate for several hours at work. When I got home that nite I ate a piece of turkey and a few bites of dressing. I swear normally I would have eaten two plates full of everything I could pack it with FROM EDGE TO EDGE. It just leaves me dumb-founded at how itty bitty I can eat now. I will say that I did "gain" about 4 lbs but TOM was here too. I was beyond determined to get rid of it. So, when I get in overdrive like that I hit the gym harder. So, for me it was three hours of intensive workout. By the time I finished and weighed the next morning it was all gone. Gotta drink more though. I feel like I am more in balance now. It helps get/keep my mind centered. I know what to do to "get right" and I must say I was amazed that for once I applied myself to the things that work and by golly it worked..BAM! Love it, Love it, Love it!! I
I am still working on trying to lose 10 lbs and will get there one day. I am steadily losing inches and that is great too. Because I keep up my good eating habits and exercise routine it will come slowly. I know that I will not lose like the beginning and that is fine. I am at place now that I can actually deal with what I have to do.
