What a great Sunday I had! My daughter and granddaughters were so nice to have around for a day. The only “flaw” in the day was the chocolate cupcake I ate to celebrate my granddaughter’s 17th birthday! I stayed on program otherwise, so there shouldn’t be any weight gain – I hope! To prevent temptation, I made them take the remainder of the cupcakes home with them! I have eaten all the food I am allotted for today, but if I get really hungry, I do have a few cherries or grapes I can eat. Yum. I love cherries, especially the bing cherries, so I have to closely monitor my intake of them.

I hope everyone did well and stayed within the limits of their diet this weekend. Actually, I choose not to think of our eating program as a diet. I think of it as a way of life. It has to be for me because I cannot afford to keep carrying this much weight. My hips and ankles will be grateful, as will my heart, lungs and other vital organs, when I reach my goal. I’ll be grateful, too, to look better and wear clothes that look and fit better. A win-win situation! We’re in this together, so let’s not hesitate to contact each other when we need support. The blogs and boards are great for that! ~~~Joan
