I went down to Newport this week-end

to buy a new bra or two. Took one look at myself standing half naked in jeans that were too tight and consequently were squishing the lower part of me up while the upper part was drooping down. It was scary. I marched out of there determined to wear this one ratty tatty, sometimes elusive bra that I have until I've lost enough weight that I can stand proudly in front of that mirror again. Or at least until I have the sense to try something on without actually looking in the mirror! I am now doing what I should have been doing all along...writing absolutely everything down that I eat and estimating the calories. It's amazing how fast they add up. But I'm being good. I passed up the doughnuts and pastries that someone was passing around this morning. I did have my Friday chai, though, but without whipped cream. And just as I thought I was getting away from work relatively safely calory-wise, my co-worker stopped and left a small brownie on my desk on her way out. My arm reached out, picked it up and threw it in the waste basket...but, for some reason, my aim was off and it ended up in my mouth. Is there a level in Dante's hell for dieters who give in. That's where I'm headed in the afterlife, I'm afraid.

LOL Kat. I wish we could buy WILL POWER at the store as easily as those donuts! Good luck with this. I read somewhere that 8 hours of sleep is also essential to not over-eating. Since I have had some very sleepless nites for the past month I am going to blame my lack of discipline on that! ;o) Hugs

Kat,

Just a thought. To heck with an extra lb here or there. The person I met is lovely. The person you saw in the mirror was most likely distorted anyway. Cheapo mirrors in dressing rooms you know. So, do what feels good to you.

Hugs,

Rain

Kat dear girl, you were not giving up on the dieting the real problem is as we age we

find that our eye sight is off a bit and I know as well as you do that you really were aiming for that trash can and well gee you were so shocked that your eye sight and aim was that far off. Now there you go no need for guilt, none at all! LOL

Hope you enjoyed it and not to worry there is always tomorrow!

Hugs, Lor

The brownie felt good. Getting the weight off would feel good. This is a problem. I wonder what Confucious would say!
