Haven't written in a while due to being so busy at work but thought I would take some time tonight. Had my picture taken this weekend with my granddaughter who was going to Homecoming and couldn't believe how different I look even after 29 pounds. Just wish it would go faster. However, I have been struggling lately. It seems like everytime I turn around they are having food days, family reunions, wedding anniversaries and birthdays. I just can't seem to get a break. The biggest issue I have is that yesterday we had a family reunion. I decided to eat but not overeat which I did but not sure I made the right choices. However, I didn't want to deprive myself of everything. I thought a little bit if it didn't get out of control wouldn't be too bad and I didn't do too bad. But here is the clincher. This next weekend my husband and I are celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary and my 53rd birthday. We are going on a dinner train. I tried to chose wisely so hopefully I will stay on track. I chose chicken marsala which doesn't sound like it will go too bad. I have asked a counselor to call me to discuss but they haven't called back. Wish me luck, I think I am going to need it.
