Random Thoughts:

- I had an extra tortilla today, but no snacks...
- It poured rain all day, and I did not even attempt to go for my walk
- We will see what the scales have to say about that...
- Update: I lost again... and I thought about it more closely and I lost even with having:
- all my regular food plus...
- 2 flour tortillas (one of which I allow myself on maintenance)
- peanut M&M's (I allow this every single day of my skinny life ;)
- handful of raisins
- It must be that time of the month, where no matter what I do, I lose...
- Have a Super Saturday everyone!!
Okay, I'll play ... but I don't want to

Hi Dorothy,
I am proud of you for joining us... I think I would take it in baby steps, you have the rest of your life to get this measly 13 lbs off...
Today- you joined us
Tommorow- you join us again and make one other small change
The next day- you join us, keep the above change, and add another small change...
Don't try to tackle it all at once... just take baby steps, make mini-goals and you will have that gone in no time...
Big hugs,

We went out to a resaurant for hubby's bd dinner. Lots of wine, appetizers, food. But I'm holding steady. I guess either how I ate during the day worked out for me, or the scale hasn't reflected my excess yet :)

i wish i was like you guys eat one thing off plan and it shows on the scale for me lol....
todays weight 138.5.
but i think most of its water weight .... i ate two slices of pie the other day gained 3 lb even tho it was a : "healthier version" but i also ate corned beef brisket so i think that is most of the weight in salt. i got 1 lb off but then ate "low carb pizza" so still bouncing.
so im trying to be good now til thanksgiving ....

Sweet Tenacious Linda,
I will only say this one more time!!!
I think it is completely unfair that you go off plan even a bit and you gain!!! 
Sorry this happens to you my dear, but you handle it with class and grace... I am very proud of you for knowing yourself and doing what it takes to maintain!
Hugs,

Random thoughts....went to a funeral for an old guy I met in AA. He had 41 years of sobriety. He's had ALS and passed away last week. His wife is amazing! They showed how someone can die with dignity. I walked away from that funeral feeling pretty good about sobriety. It's been 4+ months. Food was not than important for today. Started taken 2 prilosec.....I'll let you know how that goes. Love you guys!
