What a wonderful weekend! Saturday was an absolutely great day, and today has been pretty good, too. I went to church by myself this morning, which meant I didn’t have to go out to eat afterwards and could come home and eat a NS meal. (No more Red Lobster sins, for today anyway!) I lost ½ pound this week, which made me happy considering I had eaten out three times! Losing is so much fun!!

For the newbies that might be reading this, NS is the best program I’ve tried in my 66 years on this earth, and believe me, I’ve tried most of them. Portion control is key, as are peer support and especially the food. Admittedly, it’s not all to my taste, but most of it is great, and it sure beats cooking, which I could live without the rest of my life! (As the mother of five children, I did a lot of cooking for many years, and it is nice not to have to now. Well, I do cook for my husband, but he’s easy to please and doesn’t mind leftovers, thank goodness.) A word of advice, if you get discouraged and want to quit, GO ONLINE and talk to another NS weight-loser or a counselor. We’ve all been where you are and can offer support, encouragement and advice.

Have a good NS week!
